Mission: to provide counsel beyond expectations, build lasting
relationships and make a meaningful difference in people’s lives

Values: respect, teamwork, commitment, client service and professional excellence

What we mean by firm values

In fashioning our core values, we defined values as strongly held, emotionally charged beliefs that are highly resistant to change. Our values were designed to be succinct statements that everyone in the firm, regardless of position, agrees to live by and against which the performance of all members are measured.

Our values represent what we regard as fundamental to our organization's life as we move forward to achieve our goals. Although our goals may change over time, our values will remain constant. They will help us determine how to best allocate resources and identify the best individuals to accomplish our objectives.

What our firm values will accomplish

By committing to our values, we make a major investment in our long-term future. With our values as our anchor, we anticipate further advancement in all areas.

By living our values, we will continuously foster a work environment dedicated to enhancing our skills and our level of professional excellence. This, in turn, will ensure that we remain highly responsive to our clients' needs.

Mutual respect, recognition, collaboration and commitment will be the hallmarks of our individual relationships with colleagues and clients.

The core firm values

We will maintain a working environment where individuals can flourish and all of our interactions with each other are guided by mutual respect, recognition and appreciation.

 

Professional excellence

We will be at the forefront of our profession in the skill, expertise and judgment we offer our clients and constantly seek opportunities to learn and grow.

Individually, we will:
  • plan and organize work to complete projects effectively and efficiently,
  • determine relevant facts and consider alternatives before embarking on a course of action,
  • apply skill, expertise and judgment to develop creative and effective solutions,
  • involve others in files and issues where the need for expertise warrants,
  • maintain integrity and confidentiality at all times, and
  • engage in continuous learning to remain current in knowledge and improve professional skills and expertise.
