Spanish to English Law/Patents Law (general) Legal services
Following on from my previous post re legal services offered by a Spaish law firm, I need help with the following phrase. For a UK audience. Drawing thankfully near to the end of this job :). Thanks!

Tradicionalmente (name of law firm) ha prestado asesoramiento a empresas, especialmente en laboral, pero también en mercantil o en asuntos con implicaciones civiles, administrativas o fiscales.

Con esta iguala (name of law firm) presta asesoramiento en el día a día de la compañía, asociación, fundación, etc., a todo el equipo directivo de la empresa, en cualquier ámbito jurídico, y dispensando respuesta verbal o escrita a cualquier consulta planteada, revisando documentos si fuera el caso, e incluso redactando escritos simples si fuera necesario a fin de **enfocar el asunto en función de** los intereses de la empresa.

Thank you, Andy
agree Bill Harrison (X) : BUT, I think 'in mind' rather than 'at heart'. Didn't anyone ever tell you that lawyers do not have hearts :)
