ABOUT US

WE DO MORE AND WE DO IT DIFFERENTLY 

In short, we offer all the services you would expect from a law firm, it’s just how our team do them for you that makes us different.

Most law firms talk about being commercial, being a trusted advisor, acting in a professional manner, delivering their work and projects on time and hopefully being technically competent. We say the same as these things are absolutely relevant to what we do day in day out, however these things should really be taken as a given.

 

WE’RE TOLD WE UNDERSTAND MORE

So, we’re a business that sells legal services however we’re also a business just like any other. We’ve had our ups and downs, we’ve grown, we’ve moved offices, we have fought our own legal battle and experienced our share of challenges.

As the old cliché says we’ve been there and done that, have the t-shirts, which we believe means we can safely say we have been in your shoes at one time or another, whatever the situation you are in.

Our clients will testify that we treat people as equals and are “lawyers” who speak plainly. Our team are highly experienced individuals with expertise in their respective legal fields and we are all genuinely interested in yours.

WE BELIEVE IN MORE PLAIN SPEAKING

Our clients say they like that we give them what they want and need without over-complicating things; just because legal issues can be very complex doesn’t mean we have to make them complicated. We like to cut through the jargon and not hide behind a strange and old fashioned language. We are proud of our proactive and pragmatic approach too.

WE PLACE MORE EMPHASIS ON RELATIONSHIPS

Our people are our strongest asset, so we build great internal relationships. We can’t put our finger on it but there’s certainly something about each of us which makes us “so EMW”.

We believe in looking after each other, so forming great external relationships with clients, contacts and others comes naturally to us.

FOR US ITS MORE ABOUT THE JOURNEY

We don’t take ourselves too seriously either; even the most senior people in our business don’t shy away from witty banter! Trying to enjoy the journey as we go along is something we hold dear and we want you to be part of that.
