Our Philosophy
A Trusted Advisor Focused on Your Success
Exceptional legal representation requires understanding the needs and challenges of our clients. We give you personalized and focused attention. We deliver counsel that addresses not just your legal issues, but serves your broader objectives.
Big Firm Experience, Boutique Firm Attention
Drawing on decades of experience from practicing at prestigious law firms, we bring sophisticated expertise to a boutique setting where personal attention and client relationships take center stage. We will not staff your matter with big teams of lawyers who only know portions of your case or who rotate frequently onto other matters. We will give you the focused attention that your matter needs.
Specialized Focus on Dispute Resolution
We maintain a focused practice centered on resolving disputes. We are transparent about our capabilities. When you bring us a matter, we will give you a straightforward assessment of whether it falls within our expertise. If your needs are better served by other counsel, we will help direct you to the right resources. This commitment to staying within our specialized focus allows us to maintain the highest standards of service in our core practice areas.
Flexible Fee Arrangements That Align With Your Goals
We understand that modern legal services require flexible fee arrangements that make sense for our clients. Freed from traditional BIGLAW pricing constraints, we offer various fee structures including:
-
Hourly billables using rates that provide more value than traditional BIGLAW rates
-
Fixed fee arrangements that provide cost certainty
-
Capped fee agreements that limit your overall cost exposure
-
Success-based fee structures that align our incentives with your objectives
We can also introduce clients to our well-developed network of litigation funders and insurance providers.
