To our mind, the nature of the relationship envisioned requires that the individual members of the team possess not only the requisite experience as legal practitioners but also certain levels of private and public sector experience and skills which can always come in handy not only in relationships with the client but also in the identification of a client’s problem and the provision of customized solution to that problem. We have therefore assembled a highly qualified team to work with the client on projects.
