How do you ensure the legal advice you are giving is commercially relevant? We retain lawyers with a proven track record of making themselves indispensable to clients. We encourage our lawyers to spend as much time as possible with clients, to gain an understanding of how they operate and even to work as much as possible at clients' offices. In this way, our policy of freeing lawyers from traditional working practices helps them deliver advice that is more commercially relevant.
In what ways are you innovating to improve client services? Our entire model is predicated on innovation and we are constantly looking to enhance our service delivery. Recent developments to our custom-built intranet system have introduced vastly improved document signing capabilities by means of a fully integrated dictation and transcription service, allowing clients to sign and submit important files in a matter of seconds.
