Why Moores?
"Moores has provided the opportunity to gain knowledge not only in my area of practice but also in other areas such as family law and property.
Teamwork and collaboration amongst all of the members and practice areas of the firm means that we can provide our clients with a holistic service and deal with their matters both confidently and effectively.
Certainty is also what our clients and referrers want from us and value pricing (with no dreaded timesheets!) is another way we can deliver that. We are dynamic and we are progressive!"
