Team
Effort
Our approach is to work with our clients
as a team to ensure delivery of desired outcomes. Understanding
our client is fundamental to our approach. This enables a
dispute or claim to be handled in a manner consistent with
the client's business practices and objectives.
The most commercially effective result is
achieved by working with the client as a team.
Communication
We communicate with our clients on a personal
level. Our advice is concise and to the point. We use plain
English and explain legal issues in a manner which can be
clearly understood by our client.

Continuity
of Relationship
Our practice has a history of building and
maintaining long term client relationships. One of our major
clients has been with the practice since its commencement
in 1980. Another client has been with us for over 20 years
and several others for ten years or more.
Litigation
Strategy
Being proactive is the core to our approach
to litigation and dispute resolution. We don't wait for things
to happen. In conjunction with our client an appropriate strategy
is tailored to suit the claim or dispute and we then proactively
pursue that strategy to ensure resolution of the claim at
the earliest possible time. We don't let the court or other
parties dictate the progress of matters. In matters capable
of resolution, a proactive approach will invariably result
in an early cost effective resolution of a dispute.
If a settlement is not possible the litigation
is thoroughly prepared in a timely manner prior to trial.
Only the very best counsel are recommended and their fees
are discussed and agreed with our client prior to counsel
being retained.
Matters are proactively managed to ensure
cost effective finalisation at the earliest possible opportunity.
Courtesy
and Professionalism
All work must be undertaken in a manner
which enhances the reputation of our clients. Our approach
is to always treat people with courtesy and respect.
We maintain the highest standards of professionalism
and ethical practise.
We always deal with people in a professional
and courteous manner.
Technology
Technology is a valuable tool for communication
and research. Clients must be kept up to date on the progress
of claims. Confidential and secure online status reports are
available to enable clients to know what is happening and
to make informed decisions.
Our clients benefit from the availability
of on-line access to status reports. They are confidential
and secure to each client.
