A document that misses a filing deadline is not a transport problem, it is a client problem. A disbursement that cannot be tied to a matter is money the firm has already spent and will not recover. An associate leaving the office at eleven at night is the firm’s duty of care, whoever books the car. Enhance your firm’s client and partner experience by choosing Addison Lee, London’s leading private hire service.
