Here at EDC Lord Towers we place great emphasis on personal service; being available when you need us; and communicating effectively*. For those reasons it has been said that the law thrives upon presenteeism, to the extent that being in the office at all times is seen as a virtue. But, equally desirable for us is getting to know our client’s businesses, and the environment in which you operate. We believe that we can give you the best advice when we really know how your business works. However, even lawyers can’t (yet) be in two places at once, so occasionally something has to give. For the next few weeks, Andrew Isitt our Dispute Resolution Partner, will be out and about undertaking reviews with clients at their places of business. The purpose of the exercise is to listen to your assessment of the current state and future direction of the markets in which you operate, to your assessment of the prospects for your business in 2011, and to discuss how we can best tailor our services to meet your changing needs in the future. So, whilst the idea of solicitors leaving the sanctuary of the office to visit their clients is not (quite) revolutionary, it is still rare enough to warrant a blog post! However, in this communication-age being out of the office should not mean being out of touch, so should you need Andrew you can contact him on his mobile 07979 602058, or by e-mail to aisitt@edclord.com or you can speak to his secretary Lyn, direct on 020 8862 8954.
* To that end you will find no references in this article to “solutions”; “going forward”; “deliverables”, “key drivers”, or other such over-used jargon. For further pet hates see:
