LA advises commercial organisations and private individuals on a regional, national and international scale. Our reputation rests on the expertise of our people who are first-class in every respect, and on our genuinely commercial approach. Client care and satisfaction is always our main aim.
Every client of LA will benefit from:
The commitment of our people
Our people are our greatest asset and we value them by investing in market-led training and personal development and by building positive and empowered teams that are dedicated to delivering first class client services
It is LA's policy to attract, recruit and retain the best people at all levels, but who are not just professional robots. Our people also need to be strong communicators, have a positive and outgoing approach, and be driven and ambitious on behalf of themselves and their clients.
All of our people - our lawyers, our management team and our support staff - are committed to a 'one firm, firm' vision that cultivates a cohesive and consistent approach across all our departments and all our offices.
A partner led service
LA is of a size where we are able to provide a partner led service to all our clients and still operate seamlessly on a national and international scale.
Whilst encouraging our solicitors and other legal professionals to take ownership and build strong client relationships, our partners remain supportive, guiding and accessible leaders.
Leading expertise
It is no longer enough to simply have knowledge of the law. Our lawyers and other professionals recognise that it is necessary to get closer to our clients so that we can set our legal advice in a market context, making it practical, clear and useful.
As part of this drive, our lawyers and other professionals centre themselves at the heart of your business to understand your:
- Strategies and objectives
- Policies and procedures
- People and customers
- Local, national and global perspectives of the industry and wider sector in which you operate
When analysing your business or personal threats, our focus is on prevention over cure and we aim to prepare and arm you with the right advice and training so that the more costly exercise of 'putting things right' is in the minority.
Comprehensive and cohesive advice
Being a 'one firm, firm' means that all of our people share the same vision of the kind of firm we want to be. Having a shared vision makes it easier for us to work closely and draw on the unique expertise of our colleagues in other areas of the firm. This means that our clients benefit from an integrated legal service, which considers the bigger picture and the wider issues.
Innovative technological support
LA is committed to the continual development of its IT infrastructure and invests heavily to keep pace, and take advantage of, new technologies as they evolve and form part of the cost-effective delivery of legal services. A dedicated team of IT professionals, delivering a reliable and stable service, maintains our systems.
Utilising Case Management and Work Flow software, Digital Dictation, Speech Recognition, remote access and developing Web Based systems, the computer network is a product and a credit to LA's forward thinking approach and embracement of technology supporting services to our clients.
Value for money
Our location in the regions means that our overheads are smaller. Making this saving puts less pressure on our cost structures, enabling us to benefit our clients by offering City quality advice and services at regional prices.
