Competitive Advantages
Experienced People: our professionals concentrate on solving complex energy, finance and data problems and executing specialized strategies. We strive to maintain and enhance our base of highly talented professionals and pride ourselves on being able to offer clients more senior-level attention than may be available elsewhere.
Independence: we are an independent firm, free of many of the conflicts that can arise at larger institutions as a result of their varied sales, generating, trading, research and finance activities. We believe that recent instances of perceived or actual conflicts of interest, and a desire to avoid any potential future conflicts, have increased the demand by people for trusted, unbiased work delivered from professionals whose main product is service and advice.
Reputation: our firm has a brand name with many years of history. We are focussed on providing world-class professional advice in complex strategic energy, finance and data assignments, utilizing both our global capabilities and deeply rooted, local know-how.
Focus: for us there is only one primary business: Energy, Finance and Data Advisory and Management Services rather than a broad range of technical and financial services. We believe this focus has helped, and will continue to help us, attract clients and recruit professionals who want to work in a firm where these activities are the central focus.
Global Presence with Local Relationships: we believe that linking our talented indigenous professionals, deep local roots and energy, finance and data expertise across offices enables us to be a global firm while maintaining a local identity. This approach enables us to build close, local relationships with our clients and to develop insight into both local and international commercial, economic and political issues affecting their businesses. We do not regard any single jurisdiction as our home country.
