Practicality takes precedence
Savvy businesses know their attorneys must bring more than good legal skills to the table. Companies need attorneys who reflect the way they do business. In an era of ever decreasing margins, every service must be worth its cost. Legal services are no different.

Allocating resources wisely can mean the difference between success and failure. Spending time and money preparing for contingencies that never occur is the sign of a poor tactician, both in business and in law. Conversely, losing an opportunity because of a lack of preparation also can be damaging. With that in mind, we make it a point to work closely with our clients to understand their businesses and their goals on each matter. Though we easily transmit information around the world in seconds, we will travel anywhere to achieve the results our clients expect.

We're quick and we're focused
Time is of the essence. Always. Harris & Moure gets straight to the heart of the matter to deliver optimum and cost-effective solutions. We operate in the fast-paced international business world where we promise and deliver dynamic, results-oriented advice. Our solutions will put you ahead of your competitors. We are practical lawyers and problem solvers who take a "hands-on, get out from behind the desk" approach to solving client problems.

Sensitive to your budget
We recognize companies are concerned about legal fees disproportionate to the amount in dispute or to the effort actually required. By paying special attention to the economics of each matter, we deliver efficient, quality representation. With our client's advice and consent, we match the task to the skill level required to maximize efficiencies without sacrificing quality. And yes, we even engage in international outsourcing if that will save our clients money without compromising quality.

We also are flexible on billing arrangements and, where appropriate, are willing to handle matters under a variety of fee alternatives to the traditional hourly rate method.

The right tool for the right job
An old adage says that if you were a hammer, you would tend to treat everything like a nail. Unfortunately, that adage applies to some law firms; they develop a reputation for success with one legal tool, be it litigation or mediation or something entirely different. They use that tool for every problem, often at their client's expense.

Harris & Moure recognizes that what works in Pusan, Korea, may not work in Sofia, Bulgaria. We look at every problem objectively and in its context to find its solution. If it means hard-nosed litigation, we will do it. If the problem lends itself better to mediation or negotiation, we will use those tools instead. If the solution calls for a special skill we do not offer, we will find the right person for it. Our concern is what works for our clients.

A different approach
We are different. We know our services must contribute to our clients' profitability and success. If we can't do that, we haven't done our job. Our top flight legal skills and real world business experiences, coupled with the innovations we have brought to the practice of law, make Harris & Moure a powerful asset for your business. We know we have succeeded when you come back for our advice or refer or recommend your colleagues to us.
