We provide you with advice which is upfront and quickly gets to the heart of your matter. Because we operate in a highly specialised field, we are not interested in unnecessarily floundering through your matter and charging you for the privilege. We would prefer to provide you with a clear sense of direction at the outset so you can determine the value of engaging us and work with us with confidence. Since we don’t operate on billable hours, our focus is on delivering real tangible outcomes rather than watching the clock and padding our time sheet.
We are about building lasting working relationships and making sure you are engaged with us so we are always on the same path. We draw from your industry knowledge and expertise and combine it with ours so that together we can reach a unified goal. We’d like to be part of your team rather than just your intellectual property lawyer.
There is no point doing something without knowing why you are doing it. We want to help you discover that purpose so we can achieve tangible outcomes for you which you can measure. Many firms are happy to follow instructions without questioning why and to deal with the fallout later. We believe in a more front ended approach which saves you time, money, disappointment and frustration later on.
