• Our attorneys and staffs – are the most important asset we have. We will treat them that way, with a high level of personal respect.
• We will distinguish ourselves by the intensity of effort that our attorneys, particularly our partners, devote to their clients. We will reward our attorneys for their service to our clients, expansion of current client relationships and development of new client relationships.
• We will work as a team. We will encourage teamwork among our attorneys to serve clients, expand current client relationships and develop new client relationships, particularly among attorneys in different practice areas and different geographic locations. We will discourage behavior that places individual interests above the firm’s or that is disrespectful of any of our colleagues.
