Lawyers

“The firm has a young generation of lawyers…capable and well-established…” International Financial Law Review 2009

The reputation of Pekin & Pekin precedes it. We have a history going back nearly forty years, have worked on most major deals and have participated in the introduction of new legislation. Pekin & Pekin lawyers are well regarded and being part of our Firm ensures you a head-start.

Many of our lawyers have been with us since graduation, rising quickly to become partners with equity stakes. Some join us later following time spent abroad in international law firms. The common characteristics that we look for in a lawyer are:

Dedication - dedication to the law, the Firm, your co-workers and yourself

An aptitude for innovative thinking - utilising your legal knowledge to create new workable structures, frameworks, solutions for your clients

A business-orientated approach - understanding how the client can reach their objectives within the current and future environment and incorporating this into the legal advice you provide

The ability to offer clients practical solutions – clients need solutions that are practical and meet their objectives in the most efficient way possible, alternative solutions should be offered and the outcome of each alternative demonstrated
