Our acronym

The distinguishing feature we have created to represent our association had a duty to illustrate our common perception of how we carry out our profession of lawyers.

Its resemblance with an ear – symbolising the listening – is not accidental; but it is not the main message we have tried to get across with that form combining harmoniously the rigour of a square and smoothness of a circle.

Rigour, fighting spirit and firmness are so many qualities essential to the optimum defence of the interests of our clients who should be able to rely permanently on the skill of their lawyer and of those surrounding him or her, as well as on the reliability of their advices.

But the effective defence of a file requires also other qualities, such as tact, choice of terms and nuances, sense of negotiation and art of conciliation, that are so many means allowing to “smooth the rough edges” of a litigation or relationship.

The lawyers of our association are intent on combining in a balanced way these two essential approaches complementing each other, which results in our acronym that represents both “smooth rigour” and “watchful smoothness”.
