"I approach all new instructions on the basis that the client's best interest will be served by utilising my skills, experience and commercial acumen to ensure a satisfactory outcome which, from the client's perspective, resolves all the issues within an acceptable timescale and fee structure. I think it is vitally important that the client is asked to address what they require from their lawyer and what they would wish to achieve commercially to provide a focus and structure for the work undertaken."
