About Us
OUR FIRM, MISSION AND PHILOSOPHY
At the core of our Firm is a skilled team of legal practitioners and legal staff, whose respective origins, backgrounds, training, education, and careers (linked from the outset to transnational clients), wide-ranging knowledge of foreign legal systems, multidisciplinary nature and collective dynamism have resulted in our Firm’s steady growth since its founding in May, 2003. Our Firm is one of the few, if not the only fully bilingual, full-service law firm in the State of Missouri, which has permitted our Firm to develop one of Missouri’s most active practices in the international sphere, and which has resulted in our Firm being particularly well-positioned to assist those from outside the State of Missouri with legal needs inside the State of Missouri. This, together with our membership and active participation in domestic and international network organizations, has likewise uniquely positioned our Firm to offer local assistance and counsel to those from the State of Missouri with legal needs in foreign jurisdictions through our global network.
Our Firm’s primary goal is to prosper by providing excellent professional services. Given the competitive environment in the market place of legal services, we must perform not just efficiently and effectively, but more efficiently and effectively than any of our competitors offering similar services. This involves constantly learning new skills, abandoning old ways of working, persevering in the face of difficult circumstances, or any combination of innovations required to meet changing conditions. We believe that excellence is its own reward, not only in terms of measurable financial success for the Firm and its clients, but also in terms of personal fulfillment. Our Firm’s Mission is therefore:
To Inspire, Lead and Enrich the Lives of our Clients, Employees
and the Communities We Serve Through Trust, Uniqueness and
a Passion for Excellence.
To achieve excellence, we favor a practice-based structure, with specialized platforms made up of firm members who, from the time they join, are exposed to hands-on involvement in the daily practice, and who are likewise enrolled in rigorous continuous education programs. This policy, coupled with the personal nature of our relationship with clients, ensures that we deliver an immediate, effective, efficient and full legal service, marked by a high degree of specialization in line with the complex legal framework in which our clients pursue their activities and interests.
Because our attorneys are accessible and highly attentive to clients’ needs and objectives, our Firm has established long-term relationships with its clients based upon mutual respect, trust and loyalty. We are proud to have earned and maintained a solid reputation in both the legal and the business communities due to our compact of commitment to our clients. Our Firm’s attorneys and staff alike understand and recognize that our past, current, and continued success is secured by providing the highest quality service while maintaining our small firm efficiency, responsiveness and personal attention to our clients’ needs.
