Although we boast a delightful mix of marathon runners and sprinters here at De Gier & Stam, we never seek short-term successes or drag out matters for as long as possible. Naturally, we operate at an hourly rate but, if we say that we are seeking to develop long-term relationships, we prefer to do so through the rapid solution of multiple cases rather than by having a single one drag on forever. Pragmatism and prompt responses yield more than clocking hours with an egg-timer, certainly in the long term.
