Values

Empathy and Fidelity

We’re on your team.  We appreciate the stakes of your work go well beyond transaction value and risk allocation.   As former in-house counsel, we’ve been the client, so we know the impact a project can have on workloads, reputations, and careers.   Beyond legal advice, we help our clients navigate the stakes lost in the headline of every deal.

No Spinning

Too often legal projects fall short of expectations because of a lack of clarity and scope.   Outside counsel too often issue spot without developing actionable plans or direction.  We seek to understand our clients’ needs and concerns, provide clear and informed guidance and direction, and help our clients drive decisions, get the work done, and move their business forward.

Clear and Frequent Communication

Our job is to cut through the noise. We communicate frequently and clearly to make sure you understand what matters and can communicate matter status, issues, options, and a recommended approach to your colleagues.

Right-Sized Support

We meet your business where it is at, taking into account its strategy, capabilities, culture, resources, growth stage, and risk profile.   We’ll bring or find the right resources to get the job done on your terms.
