About specialisation

“There might be several excellent reasons why the petition isn’t ready yet,” said Block. “Let me tell you that my petitions turned out later to be quite worthless. I even had a look at one of them, thanks to the kindness of a Court official. It was very learned but it said nothing of any consequence. Crammed with Latin in the first place, which I don’t understand, and then whole pages of general appeals to the Court, then flattering references to particular officials, who weren’t actually named but were easy enough for anyone versed in these matters to recognize, then self-praise of the lawyer himself, in the course of which he addressed the Court with a crawling humility, ending up with an analysis of various cases from ancient times that were supposed to  resemble mine. I must say that this analysis, in so far as I could follow it, was very careful and thorough. You mustn’t think that I’m passing judgment on the lawyer’s work; that petition, after all, was only one of many; but at any rate, and this is what I’m coming to, I couldn’t see that my case was making any progress.”

The Trial, Franz Kafka

Glimstedt Straus & Partners values specialisation. In today’s complicated legal world, a lawyer cannot be an expert in every legal area, and general advice may prove to be useless for clients in real life. People’s knowledge of legal matters has increased and a lawyer’s help is not always necessary for solving simpler legal matters. Legal advice is needed for solving more complicated matters, and this requires thorough knowledge of a specific area.

In addition to specialisation, Glimstedt Straus & Partners values team work. We think that we can offer our clients the most appropriate legal aid, in cooperation with specialists from several different fields. In the event that the lawyers in our law office are not competent in a specific area, we are ready to assist the client in every possible way in finding specialists outside of our law firm.

Our view: specialisation and team work are important
