- We are proudly inclusive, diverse and committed to gender equality - our CEO and more than 50 percent of our practice leaders are female.
- We pride ourselves on being professional, but we don’t wear suits unless we have to.
- We have a strong commitment to pro bono and social impact - our pro bono resources supported thousands of NFPs.
- We focus on working with purpose-aligned clients to deliver great outcomes that benefit the community.
- We keep it real - we’re a down to earth bunch who like to work hard, but have fun along the way and don’t take ourselves too seriously.
