The customer base is split between individual consumers and small-to-medium businesses in the local region, acquired through direct office visits, telephone and email enquiries, website contact forms, remote video consultations, and home or hospital visits for clients unable to attend the office. Marketing is conducted via the firm website, email newsletter, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, and educational content on legal topics.
