In a complex
and competitive world, every successful business needs access to lawyers who
can bring experience, commercial acumen and legal ability to bear on the
various corporate, commercial, regulatory and taxation issues which affect
them. The critical question faced by most of our potential clients, is the
choice between a law firm over an individual lawyer?
Hiring a lawyer is not just a black and
white, huge or diminutive decision. It doesn’t have to be an
alternative between a renowned big law firm and a single lawyer show.
Not to dispute the fact that big law firms offer host of legal services and often
have complete section committed to different areas of the law which permits
them to focus on the specific requirement of the client, yet their laid back
culture, inefficiency and the reputation of overbilling not to mention the
disbursements and out of pocket expenses included in the bill frustrates the
clients as they do not see value for the fees they end up paying.
As
against choosing an individual lawyer with limitations, who can make manoeuvring
the legal system much less taxing for you can be a real task. One would need a
lawyer who can not only support the organization's growing needs but also ensure
an outcome that is fair and also constructive to you. Whether big or small,
businesses can get the best of both worlds by finding a mid-path in form of
boutique law firms.
A boutique law firm is a collection of
attorneys, typically organised in a limited liability partnership or professional
corporation, specialising in a niche area of law practice. While a general
practice law firm includes a variety of unrelated practice areas within a
single firm, offering multiple services to the client, a boutique firm
specialises in one or a select few practice areas.
These new firms are choosing to focus the
work of the entire firm on lesser areas of law rather than try to maintain the
general practice culture of the big law firms. The logic is in sickness, you
visit your general practitioner who in turn directs you to a specialist
depending upon your need. The same is true in the law: go to a specialist,
that is, the boutique law firm.
We as a boutique law firm work on the
following five principles:
