Our specialist consultants
Many legal firms have responded to the squeeze on hourly rates by employing more junior and less experienced fee earners to work on cases. DGB Solicitors have bucked this trend. We believe experience is essential to evaluate how a case is resolved in the best interests of the client and as quickly as possible. We combine experience and flexibility by using expert fee earners alongside a carefully chosen team of consultants. Our handpicked specialist consultants include:-
- A health & safety specialist with over 30 years' high calibre experience of working in industry;
- Costs draftsmen that we have worked alongside for many years;
- Mediators;
- HR experts;
- City barristers with specific expertise in jurisdiction, choice of law, and admiralty court procedure.
