Clare Murphy

There is no one size fits all in terms of approach, but I will assess the strengths and weaknesses of your position and set out the options for you clearly. Working together we will ensure that I fully understand your objectives and any business needs or discrete agendas which drive those objectives, and will develop an initial strategy taking these into account. However, recognising that priorities and options change as a case progresses, ensuring that the strategy is still appropriate and achievable will always be at the forefront of my mind. The key thing is you are not on your own and if I have any concerns that you are missing something or exposing yourself to risk, I will tell you.

Cost is pretty much always the single most significant factor which determines approach before and during legal proceedings. I will undertake a cost vs benefit analysis at all stages and will always gear my advice and approach accordingly. Visibility and communication are of paramount importance to me and to you, and I will ensure that each step is costed as fully as possible and that funding options are explored where necessary. Any ‘game plan’ we devise will take your budget and appetite for risk fully into account.
