About us

We act for some large and well-known organisations and for individuals. Due to our integrity and personal attention and our respect for the experience and judgement of our fee earners and support staff, we build long and successful client relationships which result in a significant element of repeat business and word-of-mouth referrals. Our main selling point is the quality of the service which we provide by keeping targets reasonable and giving our fee earners the autonomy which befits their professional status to get on with the job at hand.
