Core Principles
We practice law in a customized and result-oriented manner. We understand that every client has their own personality, character, history, habits, issue, concern, and budget. An approach that fits one may be too slow, too expensive, or too disruptive for another. We want to understand your business, your goals, and your limitations so we can decide whether we are the best professional lawyers, chartered accountants and company secretary for you.
We know many clients associate the hiring of lawyers with negative events in their lives. We cannot control the external factors that sometimes require clients to seek legal advice; what we can do is try our best make the legal processes as comfortable as possible
The core principles of Preach Law LLP (“the firm”) are the ideology and thinking of the Managing Partner Advocate Mr. Krishna Kumar Mishra. We are trying to implement these principles in our day to day business routine and practice. We follow certain principles:
1.The Transaction/Litigation Distinction is Artificial: We believe the distinction between litigation and transactional work, made at many law firms, is usually artificial. Profession like Personal & Family Litigation, Real Estate Litigation, Employment & Service Litigation, Corporate Litigation and Intellectual Property Litigation are almost always the result of a poorly drafted document or an incomplete negotiation. Almost always the dispute can be traced to a document that was ambiguous, inconsistent, failed to define a key term, or simply failed to address an important issue altogether. Because, we are at home in the courtroom and the boardroom, we have the ability to facilitate transactions today that are least likely to become lawsuits tomorrow.
2.We Practice Preventive Law: An ounce of prevention really is worth a pound of cure. We strive to help clients prevent legal problems, and we do this by careful drafting, anticipating possibilities, and educating our clients. If you become party to a lawsuit, we will represent you capably in the litigation and non-litigation job, but we will also teach you how to better protect yourself or your organization in the future.
3.Strive for Clear, Concise Communication: No matter how strong your case, or how bright your counsel, effective communication is the key to success in any legal forum/courts. We insist on clear and concise writing. Judges do not like "lengthy/puzzling pleading" and neither do we. You will not see use of such kind of words in the documents we draft. We believe the most effective communicators are almost always those who get their message across using as few words as possible. We support the use of clear and simple English.
4.The Client is a Resource: We view you as my best source of information. You know your business and your concerns better than anyone else. We will consult you before making significant decisions on your behalf.
5.We are Prompt and Responsive: We will be prompt and responsive to your needs. We will take your call if we can, and if we can't we will return your call quickly. We check email messages often and respond quickly. If we will be unavailable for any extended period we will tell you that ahead of time and plan for any contingencies that may arise during our absence.
6.Honesty: We will be honest with you. We will tell you the truth even if it hurts. If we believe your legal position is weak, we will tell you that. And. We will tell what you can do to make sure your position is stronger if a similar situation arises in the future. There may also be times that your legal position is strong, but it does not make economic sense to pursue legal action. If we believe that to be the case, we owe it to you to tell you that.
7.We Will Keep You Informed: We will keep you informed about your legal matter and all significant actions and developments. If we feel the best course of action is "strategic inaction," we will consult you and explain our reasoning. We will provide you with copies of all important documents we prepare and copy you on all significant emails and correspondence.
8.We are Practical: We will be practical. If we believe a certain legal solution will not be cost-effective, we will tell you that. If we believe a short-term solution may present a long-term problem we will tell you that.
9.Focus on the Issues, Don't Get Side tracked: Too many lawyers focus on side issues. We focus on the main issues, a philosophy that helps deliver cost-effective results.
10.We Will Not Be Intimidated: We are not intimidated by large law firms. We have been up against some of the most prestigious firms in Delhi.
11.The Party With the Most Money Does Not Always Win: Litigation is costly; there is no doubt about it. But the party with the most money does not always win. Using resources wisely and not fighting unnecessary battles can level the playing field.
12. Keep it Simple: Mostly Lawyers have a tendency to make things more complicated than they really are. When we take on a project we try to keep it simple. Well organized documents written in natural English are easier to read. Trials should also be kept simple. Judges and Members love simplicity.
