So what does INSTATE stand for?
"When I started INSTATE with a group of like-minded friends and associates over a decade ago, I thought that four things could make our practice stand out from the crowd:
our strong international orientation
our strategic perspective on issues
our dedication to serious and thorough analysis of the issues we address for clients
our team spirit - reflected in our pooling of skills
And so INSTATE - an International Strategic Analysis Team - was born"
