Dyer Ellis & Joseph is a mid-size Washington, D.C. firm providing a broad range of legal services to clients in a variety of business sectors, including defense, energy, financial services, health care, manufacturing, marine transportation and information technology. We provide creative, cost-effective approaches to achieving our clients' objectives in commercial transactions and disputes of all types. As corporate legal advisors, Dyer Ellis is committed to focusing on what is most important to your success. Our experience with domestic and international business organizations has taught us to take a longer, institutional view of our client relationships, and to regard our client's trust -- not the active matter -- as the asset. Among the factors that determine success or failure in the global marketplace, the U.S. government is arguably among the most influential. Capital formation, corporate structure, manufacturing, marketing, distribution, employment, financial reporting -- all are profoundly influenced by legislation and regulatory policy. To achieve corporate goals without undue hindrance, often the relationship with the government must be managed carefully. Dyer Ellis clients value and depend on the firm's mastery of U.S. legislative and regulatory processes and insights born of our long-standing relationships with those who formulate and implement public policy. This important knowledge is the foundation on which we overlay discipline and creativity. Accountability The Dyer Ellis lawyer with whom a client enjoys a preferred relationship is accountable for every aspect of the team's performance, but no one "owns" any client. This egoless team approach frees us from the trap of automatically having the primary lawyer decide strategy on complex issues that may require a blend of legal specialties and experiences. We are, however, mindful of a company's budgetary concerns. Accordingly, we tend to staff matters leanly while concomitantly ensuring that your matter is handled by the appropriate blend of talent. Protecting You -- Not Us We are very careful, thorough lawyers. Unfortunately, under the banner of "thoroughness," some law firms rationalize going to inordinate lengths to pursue every imaginable legal avenue without regard to importance or diminishing return. In our view, such obsessiveness can be wasteful. The art form is knowing what is important and what is not. Dyer Ellis lawyers recognize what is truly important, and in that respect we are meticulous, precise and painstaking. Creativity Creativity, too, can mask excess. Our creativity in finding innovative solutions or fresh approaches is proven. But it is also tempered by respect for your assets, particularly your time. We know when executive participation is necessary and when it is not, and we continually balance that need against our clients' preferences and circumstances. From this grounded perspective Dyer Ellis provides workable solutions that fulfill what the business situation demands and maximize what the regulatory environment allows. We search for ways to complete transactions and strive to manage litigation in a manner that minimizes the disruption to your business; consequently, we avoid unproductive initiatives and costly false starts. What We Add to Your Team Lawyers who understand your business and whom you can understand Reflective, down-to-earth legal advisors who think about your question before answering Advisors who concentrate on what is important and use sound strategies and prudent judgment Advisors who don't spin wheels or pursue dead ends Professionals who take personal responsibility and solve, rather than create, problems
