How we help employers
Our expertise affords us the confidence to make important judgment calls at the right time, and the fire power that can transform a difficult legal situation into a success.
All law firms will tell you that they invest in building client relationships and deliver great service. We think actions speak louder than words. Our specialist expertise allows us to take a practical and hands-on approach to solving your employment related problems.
BDBF was founded because we thought that we could offer our clients more by doing things differently (we were right). We incentivise every single employee in our firm to deliver for our clients. We set our lawyers much lower billable hours targets than our competitors, so we have time to learn about our clients and how they like to work. This also means that we are responsive, engaged, and able to focus on your matter.
The bottom line is that we run our business with the same care and attention as our clients do. This means we understand the complexities of managing employer/employee relationships and the importance of maintaining productivity and morale in difficult situations. Our team can take these challenges on and give you peace of mind by supporting you to protect your business and support the ongoing success for your business. In addition, we are committed to a robust standard of ethics and provide legal advice and representation to the highest level of honesty, transparency, and integrity.
