We believe we will be successful if our clients are successful.

We believe that solving the hardest problems requires the best people. We believe that the best people will be drawn to the opportunity to work on the hardest problems. We build our firm around that belief. We believe you can’t do one without the other. We believe these two parts of our mission reinforce each other and make our firm strong and enduring

We believe in professionalism. For us this means to always:

Put the client’s interest ahead of our own.

 This means we deliver more value than expected. It doesn’t mean doing whatever the client asks.

Behave as professionals.

Uphold absolute integrity. Show respect to local custom and culture, as long as we don’t compromise our integrity.

Keep our client information confidential.

We don’t reveal sensitive information. We don’t promote our own good work. We focus on making our clients successful.

Tell the truth as we see it.

We stay independent and able to disagree, regardless of the popularity of our views or their effect on our fees. We have the courage to invent and champion unconventional solutions to problems. We do this to help build internal support, get to real issues, and reach practical recommendations.

Deliver the best of our firm to every client as cost effectively as we can.

We expect that our people spend clients’ and our firm’s resources as if their own resources were at stake.
