We are a team of lawyers, legal tech aficionados, business coaches, subject matter experts, kick-ass team members, champions for access to justice, and stewards changing the legal industry by guiding healthier businesses. We take pride in our work. We're proud of the amazing people on our team who bring their whole selves to work each day. We genuinely love to hear each other's best personal news each week, but also make space if someone needs support. We laugh a lot during team calls and know a good deal about each other's lives despite being a distributed team thousands of miles apart.
We really like what we do, but think we should accomplish our work in 40 hrs/week so we can devote time to other things we really like doing. (Really. And we take vacations and actually check out.)
We also all share a commitment to these core company values:
- Build an Inclusive Community. We’re building community among our team, our partners, and the lawyers we support. Our community is open and welcoming to different thoughts, knowledge, identities, backgrounds, status, characteristics, and experiences.
- Experiment Like a Lobster. We experiment—we question, test, analyze, learn, adapt, improve, and push ourselves for outsized impacts through relentless incrementalism. We practice what we teach. Grab the Marker. We’re confident, bold, brave not perfect, and ready to step up and jump in. When we see ways to improve or solve problems, we make it happen.

- Seek Candor. We’re creating a place where difficult conversations don’t just happen but are celebrated. We aren’t perfect and this isn’t a license to be mean. Instead, we engage in and practice the process. We work to build trust, be honest, show empathy, and genuinely care for one another.
- Grow as People. We nurture each other’s integrated personal and professional development and the journey to the best versions of ourselves. We honor our whole selves and support team members in fulfilling their dreams along the way! We aren’t stagnant.
