HOW WE CAN HELP
- Going beyond the legal: We distinguish ourselves from other firms by not seeing our role as limited to legal advice and assistance (where other firms stop). We are not just 'black-letter lawyers', but work hard to understand the projects we work on, and their statutory, and policy context. We partner with our clients, and work with them on the commercial and strategic aspects of their projects. Our clients are loyal to us because we bring a 'can do' attitude to all projects and are able to work collaboratively with them, finding solutions that help them meet their objectives.
- Innovative approach: We are well known for our innovative approach to delivering services. We are at our most comfortable when pushing the boundaries. We have a track record of leading the design and execution of cutting edge bespoke transactions. We are innovators, challengers, and specialise in working on projects for which there is ‘no precedent’. Clients come to us ahead of others because we bring fresh approaches unconstrained by old thinking.
- Government Expertise: Our team includes a core group of partners and lawyers who are specialists in advising government. One of our key personnel has experience in the Office of Parliamentary Counsel and as a merits review decision maker. We offer a multi-disciplinary, scalable team that can be mobilised to support governments in managing matters of all sizes and complexities.
- Industry engagement: Our team is heavily involved in industry and their interactions and engagements with governments – engaging, networking and connecting with leaders across a range of sectors through a range of different channels.
