Working With Accounting Firms

Lawyers and accountants often need each other in order to provide a comprehensive service to their respective clients. Law firms cannot provide accounting advice and accounting practices cannot provide legal advice. At CBL Business Lawyers we are always interested in affiliations with accounting firms which share our practice values and client service principles.

As a legal practice at the forefront of change in the legal industry CBL’s practice management systems and paperless practice allows us to service your practice and your clients in a unique manner. The virtual law firm model facilitated by the technology that we employ allows us to not only provide services at a lower rate but also to provide in house legal services to your firm and to your clients. The lawyers at CBL will have complete access to all of your clients' files stored on our servers, but whilst we are at your office or at the offices of your clients.
