Engagement, Culture & Opportunity
At our law firm we have cultivated a culture where great ideas flourish when the sharpest minds with unique perspectives come together. Since our founding in 1992, we’ve built a firm where talent, dedication, people from many cultures and backgrounds, and innovative thinking define the way we serve our clients. This is not simply a statement – it is part of our DNA. With a presence in 33 markets globally, our law firm offers a dynamic team of attorneys whose breadth of experience and strong sense of cohesion create seamless strategies for clients nationally and internationally.

We attracts attorneys that possess a sense of grit, resilience, and a client-first mindset. We celebrate how some of our lawyers and professional staff may have taken unconventional paths to join our ranks, going to law school at night, or being the first generation to go to college. We believe this commitment to success strengthens our ability to deliver the best possible results for our clients and communities. We’ve worked to foster an environment that welcomes individuals from varied backgrounds, experiences, and cultures, ensuring that our law firm remains a place of inclusion where legal talent thrives based on merit and dedication.

We value the passion and drive of our people, emphasizing merit, innovation, belonging, and collaboration first. By fostering and rewarding an environment where skill and determination lead to greater opportunities, we continually attract top-tier talent while maintaining the high standards that have made us a trusted firm across multiple disciplines.

Our Affinity Groups are open to all lawyers at the firm. Each group welcomes people linked by a common interest or purpose to collaborate with one another and allies. Our Affinity Groups also support our culture, where all viewpoints are valued and respected, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or gender identity, or other protected characteristics. Additionally, the firm’s Labor & Employment Practice includes a team of lawyers who concentrate on employment counseling and the development and implementation of legally compliant inclusion programs.

Pro Bono. At our law firm,
Pro Bono means impact.

Our law firm's Global Pro Bono Program is built on the intersection of our collective passion for making our world a better place with the broad legal capabilities that we possess as a large international law firm.
We are committed to the principle that all persons are entitled to equal access to justice. That’s why our people, who are deeply embedded in their communities, are empowered to take on pro bono projects they believe make the biggest impact for those with the greatest need. It is at the core of who we are.

Another measure of our impact is the firm’s significant philanthropic support for a variety of groups and causes, and whenever possible we collaborate with our clients to maximize the impact of our efforts. Our long-time support of the Equal Justice Works Fellowship Program is an excellent example of this. Our law firm has invested over $15.5 million in EJW Fellows since 1999 resulting in more than 670,000 attorney hours.

– 1992, Opening

Founded in 1992 by a law professor and a technologist, Our law firm’s biggest strength remains its interdisciplinary approach. Decades later, our small staff still reflects that split of expertise between legal and technical training.

Begun in 1992 shortly before the launch of the world wide web, we were not just the first legal website – it was also the first website in a professional domain. Our co-founders each had deep connections to Cornell’s agricultural extension, and those ties reflect in several important ways:

Our team draws from their disparate experiences in everything from library services and legal practice to legal publishing (government and commercial) and tech start-ups. This diversity of experience and perspective leaves us not only open to dreaming up unique solutions but also uniquely equipped to make those dreams become reality.

– 1996, the consolidation of firms had started to take off

The firm developed a strategy that would allow it to deliver the United States to clients at much better value through quality lawyers in the key growth, financial, and political centers in the United Kingdom. Clients no longer needed two different firms for the same matter but because matters were priced locally and with flexibility, they could take advantage of market differences when it came to budgeting.

The firm’s cultural strategy attracted the highly ranked attorneys, who were already perceived as leaders in their community. These individuals wanted to join a firm of positive people who valued working together and shared experience and clients for the benefit of all involved.

– 2005 , We’re in Atlanta! Our firm has grown steadily since those early years

Adding this location provided our law firm with the ability to have boots-on-the-ground for our clients, statewide. At that point, the firm became able to simultaneously argue on behalf of a Writ of Mandate filed in Atlanta and defend a lawsuit in Hertfordshire County.

– 2025 , We have more than 30 attorneys and 10 locations on four continents.

As each new office opened, this unique culture was replicated, but never dictated. The firm grew by way of laterals who fit in and had a passion for quality work and collaboration, and in response to client needs. Our law firm has never done a merger and remains one firm. Each new office can be traced to an opportunity to better serve clients.….

There never has been a headquarters office. From Day 1, people have been empowered to do the right thing and the best thing no matter where they were sitting. These qualities have allowed the firm to thrive along with its valued clients, attorneys, and staff. We are proud of our achievements and grateful to our founders and to all those who continuously work harder and smarter to expand their vision.
