Our Approach

The position comes
before the argument.

A persuasive argument is worthless if it is built on weak facts. Corvinus therefore begins by establishing the position.

Philosophy

Six questions asked before any strategy is recommended.

  • 01What happened?
  • 02What should have happened?
  • 03What documents govern the matter?
  • 04What can be proved?
  • 05What cannot be proved?
  • 06Which assumptions are unsupported, and where does responsibility sit?

The Corvinus Method

01

Establish

Establish the relevant facts, obligations and documentary record.

02

Examine

Test the competing interpretations against the technical and legal evidence.

03

Position

Determine the strongest defensible position.

04

Construct

Build the argument, response or strategy around that position.

05

Resolve

Identify the most commercially and strategically effective route to the required outcome.

Establish before arguing

Complex matters, properly examined.

Corvinus follows the evidence rather than the client's initial narrative. Where the record does not support a position, we say so before it is tested by someone else.
