Crafting projects for optimal performance and risk mitigation while delivering invaluable support to clients and stakeholders.
Legal Services Structured Around Your Business Needs
At DKC, we are committed to providing clients with a comprehensive, “one-stop” solution that integrates advisory work with formal legal services when required. Our flexible model allows us to tailor our support to each client’s specific needs - whether that involves strategic or commercial advisory services, or formal legal advice from the outset.
Our legal consultancy services encompass a wide range of support, including risk assessment, regulatory compliance, contract strategy, legal project management, and the development of internal legal frameworks and policies. We work closely with clients to align legal strategy with business objectives, ensuring practical, actionable advice that supports decision-making and mitigates risk.
​
We also provide expert guidance and analysis to help resolve disagreements and claims efficiently, either before escalation of a dispute or by supporting a client through litigation, arbitration, or other dispute resolution methods, if necessary.
Both Cornelia and Dev are skilled problem-solvers who cut through the noise and help organisations move decisively.
We listen carefully to understand the real map of the battlefield and guide clients through a dispute without losing control over it. DKC always strives to find a solution to a contractual disagreement or an ongoing dispute, no matter at which stage.
DKC delivers cost-effective legal solutions through flexible structures:
In-House Legal Consultancy:
Our consultants, who are qualified lawyers, are seconded to client organisations to act as in-house counsel. This can be on a project basis, to provide specialised legal input, or to support existing legal departments during periods of high demand. Our consultants bring not only legal expertise but also commercial acumen, ensuring seamless integration with the client’s internal teams.
Formal Legal Services:
Where formal legal advice or representation is required, we work through our trusted network of partner law firms who have been carefully selected based on the specific needs of the project, or with firms chosen by the client. This ensures that clients receive jurisdiction-specific legal advice without compromising on quality or consistency.
In both models, the DKC team remains consistent throughout the engagement. We avoid unnecessary team changes and ensure continuity, efficiency, and deep understanding of the client’s business. DKC consultants maintain full oversight of all matters, including cost control, ensuring that fees are transparent, value-driven, and competitive. Our clients benefit from the cost savings and agility of our hybrid consultancy model, which is designed to deliver high-quality outcomes with maximum efficiency.
