Ensuring professional leadership, a strategic approach, and effective collaboration among legal professionals in every transaction, with a focus on the client's individual needs.
The law firm is led by the managing partner, who oversees a team of attorneys, associates, and administrative staff. Individual transactions are typically managed by attorneys with the active participation and support of associates. Transactions involving key clients or commercially sensitive matters are always personally handled by the firm’s partner. For transactions that are legally, tax-wise, or organizationally complex or extensive, we assemble a legal team comprising internal and/or external professionals, leveraging their specific expertise for the client’s benefit.
