moving out of the often fruitless search for solutions in silos, since we noticed that without a global approach, the solutions only last for a short while.
Legal advice, strategic consulting, organisational dimensions are the faces of one same object. We do not consider strategy like an item or a field, but like the underlying mindset for every dimension of your work.
We make legal actions and strategy proactive and practical for groups and their field actors without them depending on last minute external / top-down interventions.
