The Firm’s mission is simply
stated: provide excellent service and achieve outstanding
results.
We understand
that the legal issues confronting business clients are only
part of a larger picture. For that reason, we bring a
business perspective and work closely with the client to
understand its business and to develop and implement a
strategy to achieve its commercial objectives. At the
same time, we consider cost control to be a professional
responsibility and a compelling need of clients.
Our cost
control policies and procedures include: |
|
|
 |
avoiding the practice of multi-layered staffing whereby the
client pays many times to have the same work done, re-done,
reviewed, and re-reviewed;
|
|
|
|
writing
off unproductive time;
|
|
|
|
encouraging clients
to discuss alternative fee arrangements;
|
|
|
|
pushing
for early disposition of cases; and
|
|
|
|
performing
cost benefit analyses of proposed procedures, tactics, and
overall approaches.
|
|
|
These policies produce significant savings, particularly in
complex litigation.
