Specific sector expertise
Our lawyers are not generalists. Instead, we have lawyers who are experts in their specific fields. By way of example, in construction we are able to differentiate ourselves from our competitors with our years of experience in acting directly for Design & Build contractors and draw upon our transactional construction expertise. In doing so, we are able to better advise our clients on the commercial risks of construction disputes.
Innovation and flexibility
We are proactive and think of the next issues before they arise.
Technology: We launched our cyber insurance practice in 2012, many years before the sector began to become popular. We have secured high profile instructions, because of our innovative approach and flexibility to develop bespoke cyber claims solutions.
Building teams and raising new talent
Our clients tell us that we have differentiated our junior lawyers. We put our junior lawyers at the heart of our client relationships. Our clients say they know more of our junior lawyers than any other firm they work with.
