How we do it

As a small, specialist practice we can provide what, in our experience, most commercial clients value most highly:

• top quality technical ability and expertise in our areas of practice;

• a close, one-to-one and user-friendly working relationship with an experienced senior lawyer, rather than with a succession of his/her less experienced colleagues, assistants or trainees;

• pragmatic, commercially-minded advice, in plain English;

• efficient execution of work and reporting of progress;

• value for money — our hourly rates are significantly lower than those charged by large commercial law firms for partners who, even if of equivalent seniority, do not have the same specialist expertise.

Through our alliances with major UK commercial law firms we have access to substantial external resources and expertise both for very large transactions and for the types of work we do not cover.  We are also able to draw as necessary upon our contacts with many other wine trade lawyers and professionals throughout the world.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have a specific query.
