Core Values:

It is important that all members of our team share our five core values. Before applying for any position, please read these and decide if you share our values.

Pursue radical justice. Fight for our client to right their wrong and restore fairness in the world. Be tenacious and trust your gut. Challenge the status quo. By the time our clients come to us, the worst happened; the legal system is ours to use boldly and courageously because it’s too late to erase the harm that already occurred.

Live to fight another day. We are nobody’s victim – model the power of transformation for our clients. The go-to in a crisis. Knocked down? We get back up and dust ourselves off. Unflappable, unflinching. Gutsy, gritty, and a little glitzy.

Do it with love. We are guided by the love for our clients and justice – not hate toward our adversary. We show our respect to our fellow team members and the law firm by being accessible to each other and the clients. Always striving to show we care through responsiveness and connectivity. Above all else, loving others first requires loving your self. Show yourself the grace you show others.

Purpose above all else Anchor to the purpose so you don’t get distracted by the shiny objects along the way. Strive for excellence. Finding the solution requires flexibility of mind and heart. Tell the truth – even if it’s ugly. Actually, especially if it’s ugly. Be accountable: if you own your own shit, you can own your gold too.

No exceptions. Manufacturers and sellers owe a duty to not release dangerous products into the stream of commerce. Technology companies deserve no special treatments or legal immunities. We enjoy a strictly adversarial relationship with most major technology platforms. Everybody deserves the right to be left alone. This is true online and offline. Physically, emotionally, and sexually
