Top 5 Culture Counts Blog Posts: Great Culture, Great Core Values

Our firm believes that great culture starts with a compelling vision shared by all. We upended the traditional law firm model to create a firm based on roles and abilities as opposed to seniority. In addition to a team-based structure, we focus our firm on the following core values:
