We recognize the need to add value to a client’s business and to participate wherever possible in achieving a client’s expectations, objectives, and vision. We have the infrastructure, commitment, and passion to do so, but can only perform at our optimum when clients are involved/engaged. This involves, inter alia, an appreciation by clients as to what is their role in the process and how they need to establish a working relationship with their legal advisors, and vice-versa.

Passion for commercial law, business transactions, and corporate activities drives our commercial law endeavors. We advise and guide clients. We negotiate and draft agreements. We develop structures. We create solutions and answers.

However, many, if not all, organizations become involved in disputes at some stage. Resolving disputes can often be stressful, disruptive, and costly. As commercial organizations explore new markets and new business methods, the importance of effective dispute management has increased.
Many disputes are predictable and therefore avoidable. However, some disputes cannot be foreseen or avoided, but can nonetheless, be effectively managed. Sometimes an aggressive litigation strategy is called for. Other times, negotiation, or mediation is more appropriate. Whatever the dispute, the goal is to find commercially realistic and cost-effective solutions.
