Calvados + Woolf’s depth of knowledge, talent and operational capability, mean that we have established ourselves as a viable alternative to larger city based firms in terms of:
- Quality of clients;
- Complexity of matters conducted;
- Quality of advice;
- Depth of knowledge and expertise in our chosen areas; and
- Quality and commitment of professional and support staff.
Calvados + Woolf’s difference is that we are not constrained by the large firms’ mentality:
- We take the time to LISTEN;
- We take the time to UNDERSTAND YOU;
- We take the time to UNDERSTAND YOUR BUSINESS;
- We take the time to TAILOR OUR ADVICE TO YOUR NEEDS.

- legislative updates and changes (definitely boring but very useful);
- the odd random rant at everyday life;
- jokes, funny ones and sadly not;
- movie and restaurant reviews.
