A Firm Apart
After more than a decade of working together in a “big firm” environment, we set out to create a different kind of law firm. One that combines the talent and experience clients demand, with the service and attention they deserve. An environment where we can focus on what’s most important: practicing law and solving client problems. A place where we can build real relationships with our clients based on trust and confidence.
Among the ways we stand out from traditional firms:
Flexibility
We pride ourselves on adjusting and adapting to your needs, rather than expecting you to adjust to ours. This may take the form of alternative pricing, specific communication or reporting protocols, tailored case management procedures – whatever it takes to make your life easier.
Value
Unlike most firms, we do not set billable hour requirements for our attorneys. So we do only the work that the best, most efficient results require.
And we maintain a highly competitive rate structure that allows us to represent all our clients’ interests, whatever the size or scope of the work. When we work with you, we offer a single partner rate that gives you senior attorney expertise at a rate that’s often lower than that of associates at other “big” firms. We also have single rates for our associates. And we are open to non-traditional billing arrangements as well.
Personal Attention
You are not a file to us. Your business, your goals, are important — and we do everything we can to not just satisfy your expectations, but exceed them.
That means meeting with you personally to learn about your company and its business. Working together to determine the strategy that will help you best address your challenges.
And it means measuring our performance against your goals. Instead of relying on our own assumptions about our value, we ask how we’re doing and what we can do better, every step of the way – at key milestones and on an annual basis, through everyday conversations and, when it makes sense, formal surveys. Making sure that your expectations are exceeded in every way.
Service
Our structure emphasizes client service over individual reward. By eliminating the “origination credit” that prevails at most firms, we’ve removed a major financial disincentive that often prevents lawyers from working as a team in the client’s best interest. As a result, we are genuinely invested in each other’s clients. Every client is treated as a client of the firm. And we collaborate freely to bring the best thinking to the challenges you face.
