For more than 50 years, we have worked closely with our clients
to anticipate, plan for and overcome threats and challenges and keep
them at par with their contractual exposures.
Handling a case or an issue for a client is just the beginning
of a relationship. Learning the way our clients approach the business,
their method of operations, their ability to absorb financial exposure,
their short medium and long-range plans, combined with marketplace
issues, regulatory and political concerns - while often crucial for
the immediate task, is essential if we hope to continue to be an
asset to them in the future.
We know all too well that goals may sometimes not be attained, or
once attained, can sometimes be in jeopardy.
Competitors, Sub-contractors, Regulators and even Clients and one-time
allies, can slow or halt progress - or worse, by their actions
or inactions, destroy it.
From developing often novel contract strategies that address specific
challenges to working beside our clients in their offices, in meeting
rooms and standing alongside them in courtrooms, before
tribunals and governmental agencies, we help to preserve that hard-won
success every day.
