Our Core Values

Transparency

We aim to help prospective clients understand how much their case is likely to cost before they contact us or pay us to engage our services. There will be no surprise fee notes and we aim to make you fully aware of the fees that apply. You will not be charged until we discuss fees with you. We can also offer a fixed fee rate for certain cases which some people prefer and will give you peace of mind.

Our knowledge allows us to provide the best possible advice each particular circumstance. Our team is regularly asked to provide opinions and provide training in their respective areas of expertise. We pride ourselves on our ability to deal with hundreds of cases a year but also recognise that each case is of individual complexity and importance.

We have represented all members of society including Members of Parliament, Doctors, Lawyers and Chief Executives. The firm was founded with a singular focus: to provide clients the best outcome no matter the size or complexity of the case.
