Service Policy
We aim to assist clients by delivering the quality of professional service expected from large firms, but with greater flexibility, efficiency and responsiveness. We fully realize that in order to be effective and to offer real value, we must be able to react to your legal needs and to make ourselves available whenever required. We pay special attention to getting to know and understand your businesses and operations rather than simply pointing out problems.
"Not only the best legal results, but also the most favorable business outcome."
These guidelines set out Aliant Finland's policies regarding service procedures, planning, budgeting, and the billing of legal services. We believe that by establishing guidelines and a strategic plan, we are able to work closely with the client to achieve not only the best legal results, but also the most favorable business outcome.
All services carried out by Aliant Finland shall be executed in accordance with a written client assignment, and with all due dispatch, care, accuracy, attention, and compliance with the rules on ethics established by the Finnish Bar Association.
Beyond this, Aliant will follow and respect the client’s operating policy and guidelines for outside corporate counseling. Upon request, a strategic plan, budget and separate billing statement shall be submitted for each project on which we are working. Billing rates specified in the plan and budget may not be increased without prior agreement with the client. Unless approved by the client, we will not seek reimbursement for time spent by more than one attorney attending outside meetings, hearings and the like. Since the client retains outside counsel for their expertise in the areas of law involved in a project, basic research, seminars, or other training are not part of our billing plan.
Since we aim to be flexible, a client’s law department could, therefore, be considered as a part of our working team. Productivity gains can be established where in-house legal staff and outside counsel collaborate together.
