Its stated target market includes clients seeking full-service legal representation with a focus on efficiency and a clear, practical approach to matters. Practus describes itself as distinct within the legal industry by aiming to operate with a greater purpose, and it has actively pursued partnerships and events, including a recent collaboration with Harneys Group to host a webinar on private fund trends in the Cayman Islands and British Virgin Islands.
