ABOUT US
Acton Law is a boutique law firm specializing in corporate and commercial law. We are set apart from other firms because of our unique approach to legal practice and our distinct expertise. Three aspects to our approach differentiate us from other firms. We deliver legal services: with a commercial focus on the client’s needs; built upon sound technical ability; and executed efficiently.
OUR APPROACH
Commercial Focus: We put our clients’ needs centre stage and know that practical commercial solutions lie at the heart of those needs. We are able to understand and anticipate their individual legal needs because we’ve been investors and entrepreneurs; company directors and business managers; business owners and employers.
Dexterity: Our lawyers are subject area specialists with the dexterity to receive instructions on any matters relating to corporate and commercial law.
Efficiency: This versatility enables us to field fewer people for transactions. We are naturally lean and provide excellent value.
