CONTEXTO:
As lawyers, what we do most is write—Lincoln said that lawyers’ time and advice are our stock in trade, but we express the advice in words. And we use our time in drafting, in communicating mostly by the written word. Sometimes, though, we fail to remember the first object of writing—to communicate.

el tiempo y el asesoramiento son nuestro negocio
Commercial use: in business, whatever you sell is your stock in trade, your inventory. An early example from the Oxford Engl. Dict.: "He retired to Richmond, and . . . sold part of his plates and stock in trade by auction" (Phrase Finder)

el tiempo y la asesoría (asesoramiento) son nuestros valores esenciales/fundamentales
"Valores" podría significar algo más allá que lo meramente mercantil y que parece también estar implícito en la frase original.
