A case meeting: one group works on the matter, not separate departments.
Most tasks do not fit into a single practice. A dispute with a former partner drags in the valuation of a shareholding; the insolvency of a company brings subsidiary liability and the review of past transactions; a tax audit carries the risk of a criminal case. So we do not divide a client between departments: one group works on the matter and specialists are brought in inside it.
