About AZ Lawyers LLP
Our Approach
We are not your Grandpa’s law firm. We are approachable and we speak your language. We know that you don’t want to be bogged down in legalese and confronted with unnecessary complexity. That’s why we give clear explanations and recommendations. By keeping you fully informed, we can provide you with better service.
Our goal is to be Client Centred
And by ‘Client Centred’ we mean that we will start with the service experience that you want, and then work backwards. We won’t take our lead from what our competitors do, or what is cheapest. We won’t cut corners when it comes to client service. We will listen to what is most important to you and then deliver that service experience. We believe our focus on Client Centred Law makes us different.
