About the firm

We offer legal expertise, knowledge and precision. We think however that clients look for more than just technical ability and that you will judge us on attributes which are not always readily associated with the legal profession - our ability to listen, to really understand your concerns and objectives, to keep in touch and to work to your timescale.

The distinguishing features of our firm therefore relate to being approachable, pro-active and keeping in contact.

For this reason, lawyers at Awdry Bailey & Douglas have been chosen not only for their legal expertise but also on the basis of characteristics such as their interest and commitment to clients and their ability to listen, communicate and deliver effective results promptly.

Technical ability must be matched with the willingness to approach a legal problem from a practical point of view using common sense and business awareness.

We also believe that our clients require straightforward advice and action with a minimum of fuss and legal jargon, with clear and reliable information on legal costs and with regular updates on progress.
