Spirit of business

At Spiegel Sohmer, our approach favours the search for practical solutions of benefit to our clients over the simple rendering of legal advice.

Our reputation is founded and rests on our ability to:

• identify rapidly what is at stake in situations experienced by our clients; and
• formulate solutions that are targeted, innovative, and immediately actionable.

Our attorneys strive to invest the resources of clients only in what matters, and not in details without merit. They do not attend the same meetings five at a time. They do not order research into legal finepoints with no bearing on the successful outcome of files. And they do not feel a need to express themselves in incomprehensible legal jargon.

We believe the best ideas are those expressed clearly, and the best solutions those that offer outcomes advantageous to our clients.

Spirit of teamwork

We know our clients: their first names, their business, their priorities. We believe the client–attorney relationship must be rooted in mutual confidence that grows when individuals form lasting bonds. This is why each and every client is treated as if the client is our only client. We return calls and answer messages right away. We respond, and we respond immediately.

Spirit of innovation

Attorneys at Spiegel Sohmer press beyond obvious answers.

We pursue the full gamut of options through the teaming of individuals with different backgrouds, different education, and different mindsets. Such pooling of varied expertise fosters thinking “outside the box” and the surfacing of ideas that are often the source of precedent-setting legal solutions.

We do not hesitate to venture from the beaten path to propose a new approach when circumstances warrant and the client accepts the share of risk associated with innovation.

Our attorneys are more than good technicians: They are, above all, businesspeople.

Spirit of balance

Spiegel Sohmer encourages our attorneys to maintain a balanced life that includes time for activities outside the office.

This assures our clients of attorneys who are always fresh and ready, enthusiastic about tackling their legal problems. We firmly believe that an attorney cannot be at his/her best after labouring at a task eighteen hours a day, seven days a week.

With us, sense of balance also makes business sense.
