Our Approach

At BEYUO & CO before we accept any brief or instructions, we must satisfy ourselves that we are competent and have the adequate time to prepare and conduct the case. If at anytime we consider that it would be in the best interest of the client to have different representation, we will immediately advise the client.  We have an added obligation to consider, whether the client’s best interest would be served, by instructing or continuing to instruct us.

If, however, the client insists that we do the case, we must ensure that it is work we are competent enough to do. Before taking instructions we must determine whether a conflict of interest exists or will arise which prevents us from acting/continuing to act for that client.

Our duties are as follows:

• To promote fearlessly and by all proper and lawful mans the client’s best interest.
• To preserve the confidentiality of our client’s affairs
• To act with reasonable competence and maintain professional independence.
• To keep our client’s informed of the estimate and likely impact of costs.

Once we accepted instructions on behalf of a client we are bound to carry out those instructions diligently and promptly. This duty in conduct is supplementary to the statutory duty to carry out work with reasonable care and skill implied in a contract to supply services.

We must carry out our client’s instructions within the area of the client’s express or implied authority. When taking instructions we should ensure that the client understands and consents to any actions that we propose to take on our client’s behalf, and that the extent of our authority is clearly understood by both the client and the lawyer.
