- Commercial-corporate (Business) law. Mtre Gold understands the founder-owner of a family business: This is an individual, who, by means of fierce will power and very hard work, started the company and built it from the ground up! For him or her, quality was (and still is) job #1. Customer satisfaction is the primary goal. In the early days, he/she showed single-mindedness and great perseverance, always intent on getting more sales, this to pay the bills and grow the enterprise. Now proud of a small, independent business, born out of blood, sweat and tears and having achieved success, he/she is now looking to take it to the next level or seeking an exit strategy and/or transition to the next generation.
- Litigation – Mtre Gold says, “Just like with news media, the first step is to get the facts. And then, one needs to follow that up with good preparation, this to make your case as solid and complete as possible.”
