HIGH QUALITY
We
are highly skilled domestic and
international lawyers.
Our services range from
structuring, negotiating and
documenting a wide variety of
domestic and international
commercial and financial
transactions to general counseling
on strategic initiatives on
particularly troubling issues as
they arise.
We know the issues
companies and individuals face as
they begin domestic and
international ventures and the kinds
of problems that arise as those
ventures mature.
We are keenly aware that
companies around the world have
similar problems which are solved in
myriad ways.
Our extensive experience
gives us a unique perspective in
finding workable solutions to the
often complex issues faced by our
clients; we have solved tough
business problems under difficult
circumstances on the ground both
domestically and overseas.
We
also know that too much lawyering is
not helpful.
The most effective lawyering
protects our clients' interests but
does not kill their budgets or their
deals.

FAIRLY
COMPENSATED
Every
service must be worth its cost and
legal services are no different.
Our focus on professional
services, personal relationships,
high quality and prompt responses
converge when answering the
question: how much does it cost?
Time and time
again in our former firms we heard
complaints about billing, layers of
lawyers assigned to relatively
routine matters, inefficient
technology, legal fees far exceeding
initial estimates, over lawyering,
etc.
We believe we
should be fairly compensated.
But our responsibility is to
communicate clearly with the client,
carefully define with the client the
scope and expected costs of the
service to be provided, and bill our
services on a regular basis so that
there are no surprises.
In that context, we are
willing and able to be flexible on
billing practices.
We offer our services at
hourly rates, for monthly retainers,
as a fixed cost per project, or will
reach other sensible agreements
consistent with our clients’
requirements.
