The judgment and experience of AWM Private Legal members is highly valued, particularly in weighing legal, policy, reputational and commercial considerations.
  • AWM Private Legal members are frequently called upon to provide advice and answer questions or to become involved in resolving issues or problems that arise, often in difficult situations involving extreme time pressure and client sensitivity
