Strategy

DJA divides its legal services into employment, criminal, and general civil law, with individual staff dedicated to specific services within each division. This structure allows us to maintain deep, specialised expertise while covering a wide range of matters, including:

  • Commercial litigation

  • Property law

  • Administration of deceased estates

  • Health & safety

  • Insolvency

Matters are handled in team-based assignments, which:

  • Encourage collaboration and diverse legal perspectives.

  • Ensure clients always have multiple points of contact and up-to-date information.

  • Utilise staff whose skills extend beyond one section of law to provide additional capacity and versatility.

This approach ensures every client benefits from a well-considered, efficient, and effective legal strategy.
