OUR PARTNERS
As an international, globally present law firm we are keenly aware of the need to match clients with a senior partner level attorney. Communication and continuity are paramount to successful outcomes.
Prospective clients meet with and are debriefed by a highly experienced US lawyer, who becomes the client’s lead counsel and enduring link with and point of contact for the cross disciplinary GLS team. The GLS team conducts a “Client-Needs Assessment” culminating in a proposal (engagement letter) setting forth a plan of action and costing options. The team, through the lead counsel, maintains continuous communications with and accessibility by the client, ensuring timely delivery and follow-through. The team, in-turn, delivers holistic, legally-sound and pragmatic solutions to meet all client requirements.
Our core team includes:
