By being the Right People, our staff work to achieve the best outcome for you, we listen carefully to you so that we understand what you actually need, we are open and honest – no nonsense, and we provide accessibility and depth by working in teams.

Most lawyers charge by the hour, a quantitative measure. Increasingly, astute clients are looking for a more qualitative measure, focused on what has actually been achieved through the efforts of their solicitor. To make sure that we are providing true value to our clients, we have devised a fresh understanding of the professional services delivery process based on what we call the Five P's.
Our clients will come to the discussion with a number of PRACTICALITIES in the forefront of their thinking. It might be having to co-ordinate the settlement dates of the sale or purchase of properties, organizing finance, working out child custody arrangements, or working through cash flow pressures following redundancy of employment or due to downturn.We help to give you peace of mind around how to handle all of these details.
Clients also have a number of PAIN POINTS which we need to be aware of, and to prioritise, as part of our work. We need to focus on the issues which are of greatest concern to you.
In most of the legal work that we do for clients, there are issues in dispute with another party, whether it be negotiating the terms of a commercial or property agreement, or working through a compromise of a court dispute. POINTS OF CONTENTIONS between the parties need to be clearly articulated, and time spent working out what the real issues are, as opposed to the surface issues.
The legal system requires certain PROCESSES be followed, such as rules around creating a binding legal contract, the service of notices or steps involved in a court case. An important part of our work is helping you to understand these processes and to work out with you the most cost and time-effective ways of harnessing those processes to achieve the best outcome.
