How we staff

One lawyer per matter

The lawyer you meet first is the one who does the work. When a matter touches more than one kind of right, like a product with a name, a design and a license, we split it by what each of us does best and tell you who is doing what.

We don’t pass files to junior staff you’ve never met, and we don’t bill for talking among ourselves.
