Managing Director of Omnia Strategy
Strategy Consultancy
“It is very difficult for us to explain what we do, as we do not fit any boxes. We are a hybrid organization: We incorporate law, government relations, policy, strategy and communications. The firm has four pillars:
International dispute resolution (which, for us, means strategic resolution in most cases, avoiding both courts and formal arbitration through negotiation).
International public law, legislative reform and corporate policies.
International general counsel to help companies expand or strategically partner.
International strategic communications and reputation management.
The firm was born from a recognition of the gap between what law firms can provide and what clients want. Clients often just want help solving a problem by their trusted adviser. Their problems are not just legal; they concern the company or the individual as a whole. This is why we wanted to become an ABS, to permit us to deliver to our clients a holistic approach with our advice. …
Clients are expecting a lot more from their lawyers today. They want better solutions to their issues at more reasonable rates. This requires more agile structures. The ABS structure offers flexibility and the ability to have a modern approach to providing legal services. I don’t think that anyone should be afraid of it.”
