This is why gunnercooke comprises solely of senior lawyers who have a minimum of 10,000 practicing hours in their field. This means that all clients receive service from trusted advisers with a strong expertise and experience. Plus, no work will be passed down to junior lawyers, as is often the case in traditional firms. It is also why we offer a fixed fee to all of our clients, with work and costs agreed upfront, rather than an hourly rate - we believe in Honesty and Integrity.So far, time has told that these two solutions have enabled lawyers to provide excellent client service, without having to think about the timesheets and hours they need to bill their clients.
