Our dynamic team of lawyers adopts a creative and practical approach to commercial solutions, with special attention to good transaction management and close client involvement. We constantly put the needs of clients first.

We are a niche firm. We are focused on business law. Because we do not attempt to cover a full range of clientele and practice areas, we have been able to develop a thorough and in-depth understanding of our market sector, our clients and their requirements. We have the expertise. More than half of our lawyers are qualified and have practiced in two or more jurisdictions. We know the standards required by sophisticated business clients and are able to handle most inquiries from investors, entrepreneurs, listed and private companies, multi-national corporations, banks and financial institutions.

We ensure consistent high quality service. We work in closely supervised teams. No work will be passed to a junior lawyer to work unsupervised. With regular meetings and reports to clients, we ensure constant high standards and close communication with clients. We work within your deadlines. Our teamwork and carefully managed work allocation system ensure clients’ instructions receive the attention and response they deserve.

We ensure value. We offer competitive fee rates. We also discuss client objectives to produce effective solutions and implement appropriate strategies instead of producing solutions which are suitable to the convenience of the handling lawyers. We are constantly improving our abilities. We are constantly reviewing and improving our client management, in-house technology, continuing legal and other training to keep adding value to and upgrading our know-how and service capabilities.
