A new breed of legal team
We are a down-to-earth team of lawyers, strategists and big picture thinkers who harness our individual capabilities to benefit our clients. Success is delivered by the collective power of collaboration. We understand that sometimes the solution is not the black letter law answer.

While located in Paris I was approached by Helix to assist them with a complex ICC arbitration. Despite the distance and time difference we were able to work seamlessly as a team by leveraging cloud-based technology, including real-time document sharing, instant messaging and face-to-face teleconferencing. I was able to bring my arbitration knowledge and skill to the table and combine it with the expertise of other team-members in an online collaborative environment. It was a great new way to work and ultimately we were able to provide an excellent result for the client.
