We are a modern and progressive pharmaceuticals law firm and we operate a new legal services business model, which combines the best aspects of a traditional law firm, with cutting edge developments in the modern provision of legal services.
What differentiates us from most traditional solicitors practises is that we operate a hybrid legal services business model. This means that in addition to employing lawyers we also appoint consultant solicitors who deliver legal services on our behalf. Many of our consultant solicitors work remotely from low cost premises and using the latest IT infrastructure deliver fast, effective and efficient legal services.
Our business model has a very low cost base. With the exception of our administrative headquarters we only use serviced offices for basic needs such as telephone answering. Any additional fees for using meeting rooms are only incurred, as and when, we use the rooms. Where possible we pass these cost savings back to our clients, in the form of costs effective fee rates. We do not incur the significant cost overheads, including expensive premises, of more traditional law firms.
It’s very reassuring as an owner of an SME to know that you are getting excellent legal advice at a reasonable cost.
