"From the very beginning my client will know our direction of travel to reach the right outcome." 

My role is to consider the issues from all sides and dispute holistically.  I look to advise clients beyond the matters in court keeping a firm view of their wider objectives. 

Clients value my clear legal advice and strategic planning. From the very beginning my client will know our direction of travel to reach the right outcome. 

As I gather information for the dispute, I get to know the client and their objectives and concerns and ensure I deal with them. All calls and texts are answered. They are kept informed of court outcomes on a same-day basis via email. At all times, my clients know exactly where we are in relation to the court calendar or deadlines to be met.  This level of service is fundamental to my approach.
