Two sides,
one clear path.
Since 2001 we’ve stood on your side of the table, and stayed on speaking terms with the other.
Your side.
One partner stands on it, from the first call to the final letter.
The other side.
We know it well, and we'd rather agree with it than fight it.

Why the A leans.
Our mark is two bars, the place where they overlap, and a road. It’s the shortest way we know to say how we work.
One clear path.
Run the outer edges on and they meet just above the mark, like an avenue in the distance. One road, from your first call to the final letter.
Two sides.
The royal bar is you, the sky bar the other party. Every matter has both, and we only ever stand on yours.
Where they meet.
Where the bars overlap, the blue runs deepest: two sides reaching agreement. Nine in ten of our matters end there, not in a courtroom.

Every rule has a year.
We didn’t write our rules on day one. Each came from a client, and each has a year.
2001
One room on Queen Street.
Richard Hale opens Avenue with one rule: the partner who takes your first call is still on your file when it closes.
2004
The fee, agreed first.
A client’s bill ran past what she’d been told. Since then every matter starts with a fixed fee or a capped estimate, in writing.
2006
In your language.
Mai Tran joins as a partner and we start advising in Vietnamese. Today we work in eight languages.
2011
Three answers, in writing.
Every first meeting now ends with the same letter: where you stand, what it will cost and what happens next.
2019
The first Saturday.
Daniel Mensah starts a free legal clinic at the city library, on the first Saturday of every month.
2026
Still one name on your file.
Twelve lawyers, four partners and 3,200 matters later, the rule from that one room still holds.
