Fran Gomez
Fran is our legal secretary at KFL. Fran has 9 years of experience working at solicitors firms. Fran worked at Dadds Solicitors followed by EJ Coombs Solicitors for a couple of years before joining KFL in April 2021.
As well as being hugely well-organised, Fran is understanding and patient. Clients have said that they feel comfortable talking to her (especially when emotional) and have found her to be calming and helpful. She has previously been described by a client as “more human than people at other firms, who seemed cold and uncaring.”
Fran’s real passion is dance. Every week, she spends time during evenings and weekends teaching dance to children and has been dancing for 20 years. She qualified as a teacher with the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance in 2017.

Jake May
Jake is the managing director at KFL. Having worked in the insurance industry in the City for over 15 years, Jake wanted a new challenge with a more favourable work/life balance (and without 2 hours per day spent travelling).
Jake runs the business side of KFL. This includes everything from accounting & finance to recruitment and employee well-being. Jake is practical and solution-oriented and believes that KFL’s approach to flexible working is second to none and makes us a much better choice than our competitors, both for our staff and our clients.
Outside work, Jake enjoys spending time with his wife and two young children. Having previously founded a mentoring scheme, Jake continues to act as a mentor to young people starting careers in the City and anyone considering a career change of direction.
