The KHQ Way

Many firms say they’re different – at KHQ, we actually are. Our top tier and in-house experience means that we know what it is to walk the path with our clients.

We are uniquely positioned in terms of our flexibility and our culture. ‘The KHQ Way’ isn’t about what we do – it’s about how we do it, the guiding principles by which we define ourselves and our work.

Our overarching value is: passionate about being the best.  The following are examples of the execution of that core value.

Dare to be different: be yourself, have fun, learn from the past, be open to change, adopt technology, try new things. Don’t blindly follow, be a slave to precedent or assume a single path.

Live the relationship: build understanding, walk the path, ask questions, listen and invest the time. Don’t abdicate responsibility, watch the clock or apply template solutions.

Deliver results: have a plan, communicate, do what you said you would, exceed expectations, take ownership, use initiative. Don’t cut corners under pressure, settle for “near enough” or over-service.

We pride ourselves on delivering high quality, technically excellent, responsive and cost-effective commercial legal services.  We are focused on achieving the best commercial results for our clients in the most efficient way, by seeking a real understanding of the client’s business needs and operational styles and tailoring our services to match. We believe in going the extra mile and delivering results in tight timeframes. We aim to help our clients achieve their goals by employing a risk-based style of issue analysis, promoting solution-based outcomes and providing clear advice.

We invite you to try us to see the difference!
