Approach to Work
We are a commercial law firm, with a commercial outlook. We recognise that unless the service we provide is exceptional, our clients will not be impressed and “spread the word” so our business will not grow. The firm was founded in 1995, based on this principle and, more than 25 years later, it still holds true.

We are a commercial law firm, with a commercial outlook.

The firm was founded in 1995, based on this principle and, more than 25 years later, it still holds true.
Our partners are involved in and take a close interest in all jobs in which we get involved. We seek to establish close relationships with our clients and acquire a detailed knowledge of their businesses and their own personal goals and aspirations.
We have many longstanding and loyal clients as a result of our commercial and pro-active approach.
It has been suggested that some law firms are (slowly) reactive. We make every effort to go the extra mile to provide the best possible service and to show that we care. This is not difficult, because, actually, we really do care. In fact, as a firm, we target personnel who embrace this approach to life and to work. This moulds the character of our firm.
Trevor Hall, who joined the firm in 2000, regularly speaks about passion. He is passionate about his clients, passionate about his work and passionate about the people he works with. This philosophy sums up the firm’s approach to the law.
