Also, members of the firm are frequent speakers at legal institutes and seminars. The firm's fundamental purpose is to provide excellent and efficient service to its clients. BBGA is committed to maximizing efficiency through the use of the latest technology, enabling its lawyers to communicate with clients as well as with each other. Each client is paired with a particular partner of the firm who assumes special responsibility for coordinating the work for that client. Within the firm, however, each client is regarded as a client of the whole firm and not as a client of a specific attorney. Work is allocated on the basis of the expertise and experience required, subject to client preferences. The firm believes that because of its commitment to this concept, each client will receive the best legal services available from the entire staff.
