Legal and professional services, from every angle
A special situations legal and professional services firm committed to protecting our clients’ interests, mitigating risk and unlocking opportunity
At Astraea, we believe that the legal story is never the whole story.
In today’s volatile global environment, clients are faced with increasingly frequent and complex threats and challenges. These unexpected situations can result in a myriad of legal, commercial, regulatory and reputational issues.
Too often, an organisation’s response to these atypical events is hampered by having to manage multiple external advisors, dealing with different aspects of the same problem. That is expensive, time consuming and can impair the effective resolution of the problem itself.
Astraea breaks the mould by offering a multidisciplinary, integrated approach. We eliminate the silos that traditionally separate legal and professional services, providing a one stop solution for resolving complex problems, special situations and crisis events.
Our tailored teams are entirely focused on achieving the best outcomes for our clients, assisted by our Special Situations Advisory Panel. This panel comprises highly networked, senior and independent experts with hands-on experience of successfully supporting, guiding and leading organisations through the most complex and material threat events and opportunities.
