We are a group of people who actually like our job. We also like working with each other, making our communications and teamwork seamless and occasionally, kind of fun. As technology increasingly automates our day-to-day admin, each team member takes on an increasingly client-focused role, with everyone equally responsible for keeping our clients happy.

We know you’re smart and can participate as a partner in your legal issues.  They’re your legal issues, after all.  We may be experts in employment law, but you are the expert in your business/career.

Our Client Value Manifesto is our commitment to each client to match the delivery of our legal services with your specific needs and expectations. The online world is now full of fantastic resources and many clients can get a huge headstart on their own.  Our value to your legal matter is our down-to-earth client services, strategic advice, and our ability to sort through the details and noise with our experience and expertise.
