Our Values

Key principles at the core of what we do

Transparency

We will always be transparent about our strategy, objectives, decisions, capabilities, policies, and processes. This transparency helps our company and our clients do business better.

Pragmatism

We will always be focused on innovating and pushing the boundaries in an attempt to deeply impact the status quo. Practical – instead of merely theoretical – considerations demand pragmatism.

Execution

The execution of an idea matters much more than the idea itself. Action should always be preferred to inaction. Attention to detail should be applied to everything we produce.

Humility

Growth comes from constantly seeking feedback, learning, and adapting based on new understanding. We must view mistakes as learning opportunities, and remain open to new ways and ideas.

Collaboration

Collaboration leads to better results. We must avoid overconfidence in our knowledge and engage with all stakeholders to find a working solution.

Vision

We have a shared vision of leveraging digital transformation for the sake of a superior legal service delivery experience, irrespectively of one’s professional background or depth of involvement in the industry.

Personal development budget

Continuous learning is important to us, such as attending conferences or courses, personal coaching, etc. We will offer funding and support for your personal and professional growth.

Regular team meetups

It’s always nice to meet in person. Team events, be it online or offline, are paid by the company.

If you are into sports, we are happy to support your membership, and if you aren’t, we will assist with other hobbies that matter to you.

Workspace budget

You will have a budget to spend on outfitting your home office or renting a co-working space.

Perfect tools

Equipping you with a MacBook or equivalent, headphones, etc. is our understanding of a proper infrastructure in a remote first environment.
