Each of Maven Radd’s team of business-minded lawyers are experienced in-house counsel, who have gained their expertise in respected law firms and major international businesses.
We improve the professional lives of business leaders and in-house counsel by providing intelligent, proven and practical legal advice.
Our extensive in-house experience distinguishes us from other external legal services providers. It enables our lawyers to take an empathetic, agile and straightforward approach to legal services; one that is focused on the unique needs of each client.
Everything we do is geared around maximising positive outcomes and providing exceptional value for money.
What underpins
our thinking?
Simplicity
Being direct is in our DNA. Whatever your business needs and however complex the challenge, we will always provide an honest assessment and the most straightforward and efficient solution possible.
Our fee structure is as transparent as the way we work, and as flexible as you need it to be.
Empathy
From our own experience as in-house lawyers, we understand and are sensitive to the pressures placed on General Counsel and Heads of Legal. We acknowledge the challenges that in-house teams face daily.
Our insight and experience make life easier for businesses by providing a pragmatic service beyond the limits of just legal advice.
Agility
We recognise that speed and adaptability have never been more important for corporate functions; change is rapid and business units need to meet this challenge.
By being flexible and responsive, we adapt to the immediate needs and priorities of in-house legal teams. We enable them to keep up with the businesses they support by eliminating wasted time and cost.
