There are four pillars that act as the foundation for the firm. These principles guide everything from the attorneys we hire to the approach we take with handling matters for clients.
“Excellences we get by first exercising them, as also happens in the case of the arts as well. For the things we have to learn before we can do, we learn by doing, e.g. men become builders by building and lyre-players by playing the lyre; so too we become just by doing just acts, temperate by doing temperate acts, brave by doing brave acts.” Nichomachean Ethics 2:1 or 1103a15-b25 (trans. W. D. Ross)
Candor comes from Latin candēre, meaning “to shine or glow.” That origin is reflected in the word’s early uses referring to brightness or unstained purity and innocence, which are the sources of today’s familiar use of candor for unquestionably honest expression. The fact that it is frequently preceded by the adjective refreshing suggests that it is often unexpected.
Camaraderie comes from French camarade, which is also the source of English’s comrade, meaning “friend or associate.”
Magnanimity comes from Latin magnanimitās, from magna “big” + animus “soul, spirit.” It is the virtue of being great of mind and heart. It encompasses a willingness to face danger and dare great action for noble purposes.
