Many of the great lawyers I have encountered are very good at knowing what they don’t know. They are extremely good at recognising their strengths but more importantly, their weaknesses in certain practice areas.

If one looks at the history of legal practice and the law over say the last 50 or so years, it quickly becomes clear that the knowledge required in each practice area has increased exponentially. There is a now a greater volume of legislation, the legislation itself has become more detailed and the case law has and continues to develop as modern society evolves.

Honesty, transparency and being straightforward are values at the forefront of my daily practice. I would like to think that my current and former clients would attest to this. Because of this, I realise that I can’t be all things to all people meaning there are certain areas of law in which I do not practice. I would rather do a narrower variety of things very well than a lot of things with mediocrity.

I have found that being upfront about knowing what I don’t know has served me well so far in my legal practice and clients (or potential clients) greatly appreciate this high level of transparency.
