Why retain us?

There are many reasons why you might want to retain us. Here are some of them:

We are enterpreneurs - just like you

JK Legal is not just a law firm, it is a business. Mr. Kuvac, the founder of JK LEGAL, has worked as an attorney for international law firms (inter alia Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP) and therefore knows the “insight-life” of big law firms. He purposely choose a different path with the desire to create things and act as an entrepreneur.

Costs for quality legal services

Big law firms often invest in luxurious offices (often with full-service cafeterias, in-house gyms etc.) usually located in many of the world’s legal and business hubs. But do you know who is paying for this? Yes, their clients are paying for this. We at JK LEGAL do also have a nice office, but it is not located in a fency skyscraper. We also do not have our own in-house gym or a cafeteria, but we are ok with that. We are here to provide quality legal services for our clients and to solve your problems. This however is one reason why our rates are less in comparison with large law firms in Frankfurt. While we offer the same quality of service.

Service of an expert

Large law firms are hierarchically structured: senior partners, junior partner, senior associate, junior associate etc. While you are discussing your case with a partner of a law firm, an associate (or 2 or sometimes 3) will work on the case. The partner then has to review the work of the associate. In sum, two or three or sometimes even more attorneys have worked on your case (and of course have billed for their work). With JK LEGAL you will receive quality legal services from a single source.
