Our Legal Philosophy
From a philosophical perspective, if two parties are at legal war, in an ideal world, the lawyers of those two parties should do what they can to defuse that war, rather than inflame it yet further. Otherwise, the two parties simply remain at war, with (arguably) bigger guns trained on each other, with likely greater devastation on each side as a consequence (win or lose).
It is for this reason that I advocate the approach I do, knowing that there is always the ‘nuclear option’ of full war, yet knowing through life experience that the nuclear option has drastic consequences. This also assists in keeping costs to a minimum.
Our focus is on wise, efficient counsel to get people through a difficult process that is respectful, understanding and cost effective. We get to know our clients and work hard with them to get their desired outcome.
We also work hard to understand and overcome any language or cultural difficulties and have assisted clients from countries including Afghanistan, Burkina Faso, China, England, Estonia, Ethiopia, France, India, Iraq, Iran, Ireland, Laos, Malawi, Malaysia, Pakistan, Russia, Somalia and Sudan.
