OUR VALUES

Underlying our firm and our work is a set of ideas and values we believe in and strive to maintain.

Excellence

We provide the highest quality of service in each of our practice areas and take pride in the work we do. Our work is highly sophisticated, and requires extensive experience and attention. To deliver to our clients the representation they need, we hire the best talent available and provide them with constant training. The result is a team of technically outstanding lawyers who also understand business matters and bring commercial solutions to our clients’ needs and problems.

Strong Relationships with Our Clients

We strive to build long-lasting relationships with all of our clients. We work hard to understand their businesses and the industries in which they operate. Our primary goal with every client is to gain their trust and build a long-term relationship with them. We try become an integral part of every client’s business—a team member they can turn to when in need.

Teamwork and Collegiality

We work hard but we refuse to lose our perspective on life. Since our founding, we have always maintained a friendly, open and inclusive firm culture in which individuality and independent thinking are highly prized. Our lawyers work in collaborative, collegial teams across our practice areas and offices.

Social Responsibility

We are proud to be members of the legal profession and understand the role we can play towards achieving positive social change. To that end, we encourage our lawyers to do pro bono work and we treat our pro bono matters with the same attention as we do any other matter.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Diversity, equity and inclusion have been central tenets of our firm’s culture by design since our founding.

We encourage our lawyers and other professionals to bring all of their diverse backgrounds to the office. We celebrate, and want our firm to reflect, the different races, ethnicities, nationalities, cultures, beliefs, socio-economic circumstances, social identities, sexual orientations, gender identities and gender expressions that exist in our communities. Our commitment to diversity and the diverse background of our team help us recruit the best talent, and strengthen our relationships with our clients and others with whom we interact, who also come from many different backgrounds and bring with them different business, cultural and other perspectives.

When it comes to equity, one size does not fit all—we pay individual attention to each person who works at our firm, taking into account their unique background, development needs and goals.

We work hard to create an inclusive environment where our lawyers and other professionals are always respected, supported, and provided with the right opportunities to succeed at our firm and beyond.
