The firm describes its expertise as five pillars, with each pillar led by an experienced director and supported by a team of lawyers. DML positions itself as client-centric and aims to operate as a trusted advisor by developing intimate knowledge of clients, their business needs, and strategic objectives, and by tailoring solutions rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.

It further states that it delivers personal attention and agility associated with a smaller firm while engaging opposing teams from larger firms.
