CONFLICTED INSTRUCTIONS
For law firms of a certain size, conflicted instructions are commonplace.
After completing a conflict check you become aware that you’re unable to act for the client - but at the same time, you do not wish to turn them away without a solution.
More importantly, you want to be sure that the recommendation that you make is capable, reliable and able to act decisively. After all, a bad recommendation can impact your reputation, even if you’re not fulfilling the instruction.
Because of that, you’re looking for capable lawyers, who understand that a referral requires a certain continuity of service - as the client had sought you out in the first instance.
We understand this and are more than willing and capable to assist you on conflicted matters. Our key considerations are ensuring that delivery is comprehensive and timely; and that client expectations are fully understood and delivered upon.
We are trusted to act on conflicted instructions by a wide range of large and well-known firms on matters that they are unable to.
If you would like to speak to any of our team as it relates to referral of conflicted matters, contact our senior team below for a discreet and confidential discussion.
INTERNATIONAL MATTERS
Needle is uniquely positioned to assist with clients’ interests around the world. Since the firm’s founding in 2007, Needle has operated on matters of international scale and scope, and has only strengthened its network and capabilities across the globe in the time since.

ISLAMIC FINANCE & BANKING
Offering legal advice that takes into account Islamic Finance & Banking requirements is of increasing importance to law firms and other legal services providers.
Needle is uniquely placed as a firm with in-house expertise in this area - which is uncommon outside of the City of London.
Our Islamic Finance practice is led by Sharon Needle and has expert knowledge and practical experience of corporate finance, banking, structured finance and project finance matters carried out consistently with Shariah principles.
The firm also currently undertakes some of its services in this regard for several established firms.

As mentioned above we are equipped and experienced in supporting other legal professionals and firms with a range of specialist, international and conflicted matters.
In addition to simple referral and advisory services, we are capable and experienced in providing whitelabelled services for firms who wish for us to provide legal support on certain matters on their behalf.
If whitelabelled services are of interest to your organisation, we would be happy to discuss an arrangement with you.
