At SFC, we zealously represent our clients while avoiding conflicts between competitors. In order to accomplish this, we are careful in accepting clients who are potentially competitors in the same market or field of interest. Prior to entering into a relationship with a potential client, we review any possible concerns so that our clients know we are representing their interests without any reservations. As a result of this policy, our client relationships tend to be long term which is of benefit to both parties.
