- heading off problems with early intervention (including introducing you to other service providers);
- efficiency (especially use of automation and systems); and
- narrow scope options (designed to serve clients only as needed to complete tasks themselves – sometimes known as ‘unbundling’).
That said, we are a full-service general practice with long-term private clients whom we act in disputes, commercial negotiations, property transactions and estate matters. We decline work which is not justified on cost-benefit analysis. At the start of new matters, we require a downpayment into our trust account.
