A fresh approach to legal services
simplicity redefined
Who, What, Why and How
We are a lean team of lawyers qualified in a variety of jurisdictions with experience of law firm private practice, further supplemented by years of commercial in-house roles for major companies across the region. Beyond our own team, our network extends to highly competent industry experts, local Advocates and specialists in other complimentary sectors from whom we can seek ancillary advice where our client requires it.
What we bring to the equation is a unique perspective on clients' legal requirements having honed our legal skills to deliver tailored legal precision. Our focus centres upon delivering the highest quality of legal advice and professional services coupled with an unrivaled commercial approach designed to maximise results without the burden of extensive, unexpected and sometimes superfluous legal expenditure.
Why we formed this organisation was primarily down to years of experiencing the frustrations endured by both lawyers and clients alike imposed by the rigidity of the traditional law firm model. By removing the pressures individual lawyers face to meet targets and billable hours as well as augmenting technology backed solutions enables our organisation to serve clients in the most cost efficient way possible.
The how is exemplified by our ethos. With the goal of supporting our clients to the best of our ability, we strive to achieve all our engagements at a fixed price. We do not incur any expenditure without clients' express and advance approval. Where a client prefers an hourly rate basis of payment, we provide fixed and pre-agreed periodic updates on the costs incurred as well as revised estimates to allow our clients to manage and assess budgets accordingly. Our goal is to avoid the unpleasant surprises that are sometimes associated with the traditional model of law firms. We achieve this model through our deployment and use of innovative tech backed legal solutions that allow us to deliver far more to our clients by doing less.
