Expert
Trust and confidence are important to all relationships and that includes the relationship you have with your lawyers. At Black Antelope Law we are able to offer a team of highly trained expert legal minds whose abilities and achievements have been recognised by their peers.
Objective
We believe that an essential element of delivering high-quality legal advice is that it is objective and that you have at all times our honest assessment of your chances of successfully obtaining your outcome.
Accessible
At Black Antelope Law we recognise that the way that we live and work has changed so much over the last decade that it’s not enough for individuals and companies to identify what they require, e.g. a lawyer, they also need to be able to identify how they will access legal services taking into account working hours and days, travel distance, disability, etc.
We offer a number of flexible solutions in order to try and meet the needs of our clients by, for example, offering telephone and video-conferences, both our offices in Camden, London and Rubery, Birmingham have step-free access and we visit our clients offsite in appropriate cases.
Added to that is also the need to find lawyers who can communicate the law clearly and in a way that is accessible to the client. We pride ourselves on a “plain-English” approach.
