"At Wistrand we strive for clarity and simplicity in our legal advice. It is important for us that the client feels welcome to discuss issues and to contribute with their own views.
When working on wind-power projects, for example, we increasingly use law as a strategic instrument spanning several areas. Frequently one of us with specialist skills in environmental and energy law will assume a project management role and co-operate with colleagues with expertise in, for example, financing and corporate issues. In these cases, having offices in three places represents a real advantage. It enables us to meet the client at other locations during negotiations and it also allows colleagues at other offices to bring to the project their own specialist skills.
For me, it is natural to be curious about, and interested in,
the client’s business. As a frequent speaker and
participant at various seminars I can establish strong
contacts in different industry sectors. Everything we
do must benefit the client. It is also important to put
together tailored project groups for each assignment.
Business value arises out of the interaction of people."
