Service commitment

Our clients praise us for giving them the ability to ring about problems and providing quick and skilful advice and assistance. We’re always accessible and we respond quickly. We use the latest technology for your benefit but maintain the personal connection with you. We don’t treat transactions in isolation. We look to build long-term relationships with our clients and to understand their business, and apply that understanding to your matters. We may accept instructions from other clients or potential clients operating in the same or competing markets and whose commercial interests conflict with your own, provided those instructions do not involve the use of confidential information we have obtained from you.

Expertise and quality

We are experienced in dealing with tough legal and regulatory problems.

Value

As we know our clients’ business we can offer increased efficiencies. We are substantially better value than the big firms. That’s because we have lower cost structures and a practical approach. We understand that we are responsible for our budgets and estimates. We use alternative fee structures such as fixed prices and caps and monthly retainer fees. In-house counsel regularly use us to provide additional resources and to relieve them from worry and cost pressures.

Complaints

If you have a complaint about our services, contact our Principal, David Jacobson. If you are not happy with our response to your concerns, you can contact the Legal Services Commission for assistance.

Insurance

We hold insurance cover as required by the Queensland Law Society. Our liability is limited by a scheme approved by Professional Standards Legislation. [/ezcol_1half] [ezcol_1half_end]
