OUR PHILOSOPHY

Robertsons has grown with many of its clients and we firmly believe in working with and developing our legal services to best accommodate our clients' needs.

Our firm’s philosophy is that no two clients are the same and that it is vital to understand the clients business and requirements so that our advice and services are best tailored to suit the client’s needs.

OUR COSTS

We believe in operating a transparent costs system so that clients will not be surprised by large invoices. For non contentious work we are pleased to discuss fixed fees and for contentious work, we offer options such as blended rates, budgets and more frequent invoicing so that clients can keep regularly appraised of their costs exposure.

We do not charge ”mark ups” and the size of any team working on a client matter will depend on the requirements of the client and not those of our firm.
