We started our firm with the desire to practise
law in a new and better manner, and in particular
to do away with the business of charging for legal
services on the basis of the time spent doing it.

Time costing makes no sense - there is no connection whatever between the fees
charged and the value of the work done. From the client's perspective, it is
uncontrollable and does nothing more efficiently than generate unpleasant surprises.

Legal costs are a business risk like any other. Our business is management of that
risk. We give our clients certainty as to their legal spending and we approach the
question of pricing with the client's specific needs and constraints in mind.

We believe that our clients would like to pay us fairly for what we do and that a fair
sharing of risk and reward is conducive to a strong long term relationship.

Finally, we want to enjoy our work, work with clients we enjoy, hang out with
colleagues we like and go home each day with a sense of genuine satisfaction
and reward.
