Michael Bradley of Marque Lawyers on defining their law-firm:
The first shift for us was to realise that our purpose transcended our personal interests. Creating a bubble of contentment in an otherwise desolate sea is only so satisfying (also, that metaphor would have drowned us eventually). We did want to change the way law is practised, not just for ourselves.
The second evolution was to a higher understanding of our purpose as lawyers and the meaning we derive from the pursuit. Now, we understand that we want to re-establish the proper place of law and lawyers in society, as a force for social good. It’s a ridiculous ambition, which is why we like it so much.
