Enter Paladin, a research & consulting firm with an approach rich in history and adept in understanding. Originally a term applied to the chamberlain of the Roman Emperor and Imperial palace guard, Paladin regained popularity in the late 1950’s and early 60’s with the American television series Have Gun – Will Travel. Paladin, a gentlemen-turned- gunfighter, was a fierce combatant who preferred using brains over bullets, subduing enemies with knowledge as opposed to violence.

In the same spirit, Paladin draws on wisdom, courage and unique market insights in dispensing skillful advice and direction in maximizing your strategic benefits, cost structures and ROI. Paladin’s Hired Guns are not the rote career advisers you find bloating most “copy-paste” consultancy firms serving the industry the last 10-20 years.  There’s a new approach in town!

The outcome? Shorter contract negotiation cycles, national pricing transparency, improved revenue, immediate profits and greater savings than the “go it alone” crowd.  All founded on a shared-risk/shared-benefit approach leading to clear and measurable results with every engagement.
