Yardley LawyersFor more than a quarter century, we have looked to the strategy and needs of our clients for our inspiration and challenge. Before many people recognized that we lived in a global economy, we were building a distinctive global law firm to serve its needs.
Our Firm has more than great physical reach. It is an enterprise of outstanding capabilities, keen intellects, unyielding integrity and an extraordinary desire to understand and serve clients – serve them well.
The scope of our legal practice is broad. The experience, knowledge and resources of our Firm, and the values we share, give us all we need to fulfill our commitments to our clients, our people, our communities and ourselves.
Quality Starts with People
Our quality focus begins with our people. We know that who we recruit and how we train them are critical decisions that have a direct bearing on the quality of our work and the effectiveness of our service. So we have defined criteria for evaluating potential additions to our Firm. See What We Look For and What We Offer. We also know that lawyers who know and respect each other are more accountable to each other. So we invest very substantial sums each year, not only in local training but also in bringing our people together from around the world. To encourage them to form the personal relationships that are so vital to quality and service delivery.
Clearly Defined Standards
We also define our quality standards for practice. Our practice statement provides guidance on how we will work together. What we expect of each other. And the responsibilities and standards that will help us to ensure that our clients are properly and consistently represented and advised. These apply individually as well as to offices and practices worldwide. We recognize our ethical and professional responsibility to our clients, the courts and the public. And we set the Model Rules of Professional Responsibility, adopted by the American Bar Association, as our minimum standards for professional conduct. If standards in local jurisdictions are more stringent, we follow them.
A System of Inspection
We look at everything from how work is allocated (to ensure that qualified lawyers are assigned) and the frequency and timeliness of client communication, to the consistency of file management and the appeal of the reception area and meeting rooms.
