Integrity
Integrity is more than a core value for us. It is our essence and worth. Integrity is our foremost and distinct identity. For us, integrity involves setting and maintaining non-negotiable high standards for our practice and services. Integrity involves commitment and dedication to upholding our core values in a sincere, transparent, disciplined, courageous, resilient and ethical manner. We strive to know and do what is right, a delicate and intricate process that involves the balancing of conflicting interests and ends. We set out for excellence on the path of nobility and honour.
Client-Focus
At E & M, we understand that the client is the underpinning of our existence and is our primary consideration. We realize that providing the required legal solution is important but also that the attitude with which we provide the service is equally important. Our client-focus value is predicated on three (3) sub-values of professionalism, competence and delivery. Our aim is for our clients’ objectives to be met with an impression. We are a client-centric Firm driven by a passion for service.
Excellence
Excellence is the hallmark of our legal services. At E & M, we are committed to being the best at what we do. We strive to deliver our services with the highest quality of standards. We approach each challenge with a determination to succeed and to break new ground. For us, the means is as important as the end. We strive to achieve results with distinction in our application of law and service delivery. Our drive for excellence involves a consistent and persistent drive to do things better, paying attention to the granular detail.
Our commitment to excellence is a goal. Every member is cultured to focus on the bigger picture while having an eye for detail. At all times, we place a higher demand on ourselves than our clients do. Our objective is to surpass expectations in all cases.
Teamwork
Our teamwork value is predicated on the twin pillars of inclusiveness and interdependence. Our structures and functions model the human anatomy and physiology. Each member of the Firm is important and plays a crucial role, but relies on every other member to function. The Firm is structured and run in a transparent way, subject to ethical considerations.
Each member of the team is disciplined in and committed to the Firm’s core values. The team spirit is geared towards a collective goal – providing effective and efficient legal solutions.
Ingenuity
Our uniqueness is in our ability to create new solutions to solve old problems. Where we have to apply standard solutions, we do so with a different and new approach. In all cases, our clients will find either or both of our solution and or approach to be new and different.
Through creative, inventive and ingenious thinking and actions, we ensure that our clients are satisfied with both the process and outcome of deploying our legal services for solutions. Every team member is cultured to be thorough and profound, to think out-of-the-box and to be previsionary.
Ingenuity as a core value is tied to another core value – scholarship. We adopt a methodical approach to the law. Our legal solutions involve the intricate but effective balancing of legal postulates and practical applications, with our approach and direction dictated by pragmatism.
In all, our team is always and adequately resourceful to provide an ingenious solution to individual client-needs.
Passion
Passion is all about attitude, drive, dedication and commitment. Our compelling drive stems from our firm belief in who we are, our core values and the unique identity we seek to create and maintain for ourselves and our services.
At E & M, we are driven to serve and we are relentless in our pursuit to be the best at the services we provide. Passion is the common compelling spirit that we share. It is the fuel that boosts our performance both as individuals and as a Firm.
Our professional attitude is underpinned by devotion. We always exhibit an unparalleled zeal in deploying our best skills and efforts at achieving our clients’ objectives.
Scholarship
At E & M, we believe that the practice and development of the law are naturally inclusive. The capacity of the law as a tool for client solutions is determined by the state of development of the law itself. Thus in developing the law and extending its jurisprudential frontiers, we are invariably increasing capacity for legal solutions.
Our unique approach to legal services is therefore characterized by a scholarly inclination, which at all times is guided by the overriding practical exigencies.
