ABOUT THE FIRM
PHILOSOPHY OF CGC
Personal relationships with clients throughout the representation is a priority for us. We stress communication and cooperation.
Some clients — once they commit the matter to a law firm — are not so concerned about having a personal relationship with their attorneys. Indeed, they might not even know who, inside the firm, will handle their matter. By contrast, some clients seek a more personal relationship. They are persuaded, as we are, that a close personal relationship allows the lawyer to acquire a better knowledge of the client’s business and, therefore, to enhance the value of the transaction.
CGC is dedicated to providing personalized service and to establishing durable personal relationships with clients in order to understand their businesses and objectives comprehensively. In short, we want not only to advise clients. We want to be part of their team.
CGC is specifically focused on the assistance or representation of entities and law firm, non individuals
