Why Choose Us?

Legal Mavens

We approach our general counsel work with clients as if it’s a puzzle we are determined to solve – one that requires intuitive, critical thinking and nimbleness. Our mastery of business, intellectual property, and education law means business owners and nonprofits have access to a breadth of integrative advice on strategy, operations, risk management, and dispute resolution plus our sophisticated level of service and artful resolution style unexpected in the legal profession today.

Connected
Allies

We are collaborators at heart – with each other and with our clients – and we approach our client engagements with empathy and unbounded optimism that there is a creative resolution for each of our clients. We pride ourselves on offering a connected client experience comprised of high-touch involvement, intentional listening, and honest conversations in each client relationship. We are known for regularly exceeding client expectations with a high level of technical proficiency, attention to detail, and follow through.

Benevolent
Changemakers

As a Certified Benefit Corporation, we have deliberately and thoughtfully built our legal practice on our shared objective to do joyful, purposeful work that helps our community and forges positive social and environmental outcomes. We believe business can be a force for good rather than simply a means to profit. Our B Corp commitment harnesses and extends our legal expertise to advocate for increasing access to equitable legal counsel at a fair and affordable price.
