Our Culture

We want all members of our team to have balanced lives, with schedules that allow time for family, friends, pets, hobbies, exercise, and travel. We believe that this balance is uniquely possible in a small law firm setting. Our clients see us not only as their lawyers, but as people and colleagues. Because we maintain reasonable billing practices and frequent communication with our clients, we are able to confirm the urgency of deadlines, set clear office hours, and communicate openly about availability.

This does not mean that there will never be a late night or weekend email, call, or project. However, it does mean that when those moments arise, expectations and timelines are clear and agreed upon in advance.

Who We Hire

Clients consistently praise our team for its practical approach to problem-solving and for its nuanced understanding of the law.

We look for team members who value:

Earning client trust by providing consistent, proactive, and substantively excellent advice
Contributing to the team’s knowledge base and culture, through active practice management and by serving as sounding boards for colleagues
Contributing to the industry’s knowledge base, through publication and speaking opportunities
Treating colleagues and clients with kindness, and supporting one another whenever possible
