Why Themis
Legal advice built around business.
Four principles govern how Themis advises: commercially minded, practical, transparent and risk focused.
Our position
Advice that is useful, not merely correct.
Businesses rarely need a legal opinion for its own sake. They need to know whether they can proceed, on what terms and with what exposure.
That is what shapes the way Themis works. The four principles below are not marketing statements - they describe how each engagement is actually run.
Four principles
How we advise.
Commercially minded
Legal advice should take account of commercial realities.
Advice is given in the context of the transaction, the relationship and the commercial outcome you are trying to achieve - not in the abstract.
Practical
Clients need clear recommendations and workable solutions.
You receive a position, the material risks and a recommended course of action, expressed in terms that can be acted on.
Transparent
Clients should understand scope and charges.
Scope and the applicable charging structure are confirmed before work begins, and any change in scope is discussed with you before further work proceeds.
Risk focused
Identify and understand material risks so informed decisions can be made.
The purpose is not to eliminate every risk, but to make sure you know which risks matter and can decide accordingly.
