Guiding Principles

Our basic philosophy:
Our success as a law firm is based on our ability to help clients consistently meet their legal and business objectives on a timely and cost-effective basis. We offer the experience and resources to handle your most difficult legal challenges. But we are dedicated to going beyond, to being your counselors in the fullest sense of the word. That involves more than knowing the law. It’s understanding your business and your needs almost as well as you do. It’s thinking about how we can serve your long-term interests, and not just the problem of the moment. It’s measuring our value by your standards.Our primary goals are to provide the highest quality legal services; to be an instrumental part of our clients’ success; and to recruit, retain and advance the brightest legal talent.

Dedication to our clients
Putting clients first is an absolute priority. It ensures that clients receive clear, concise and practical advice, based on the legal, regulatory and commercial environments within which they operate.

To us, “client service” means more than providing first-rate legal service and being responsive to our clients’ business needs. Our objective is to become trusted business advisors that clients can depend upon now and in the future.

We understand that clients are looking for value beyond just legal expertise. With this in mind, we work hard to understand the level of involvement our clients want from us. Our objective is to become trusted business advisors that clients can depend upon now and in the future.

This is why our Firm seeks long-term, partnering relationships with clients, to the end of providing the best total solution to the client’s legal needs. We take time to learn about our clients’ organizations and their business objectives. And, we place significant emphasis on technology and teamwork in an effort to respond quickly and effectively to our clients’ needs.

Our partners do legal work and do not merely manage the work of others. Their direct involvement is the best assurance that our work on every project will be of the caliber our clients have come to expect of us. All levels, from partner to trainee are easily accessible, so our clients can always contact a person familiar with their files.

This distinctive approach helps us to work successfully with our clients and to identify where we can add value to their business.
