Vision, Values, and Commitments

Our vision is to deliver “extraordinary client service—all the time.” We achieve our vision through the pursuit of our core values, which we define as Integrity, Client Service, Innovation, One Firm, and Diversity.

Integrity: As a client, you can count on us as your counsel and in your relationship with our firm. The attorneys at Nixon Peabody are committed to professional integrity and the highest levels of ethical conduct. Our clients depend on us as trusted advisors, and they expect—and receive—no less.

Client Service: We have a strong record of actively listening to our clients, understanding their goals, and working hard to achieve them. We invest in our client relationships. We believe that providing extraordinary client service—all the time—means that our people work side by side with our clients to achieve our clients’ visions. As partners working towards our clients’ successes, we share our knowledge with our clients and help them manage risks, solve problems, anticipate issues, and ensure compliance.

Innovation: From our high-tech approach to e-discovery and litigation preparation to the seamless way in which we approach client communications, we believe in using the most cutting edge-and cost-cutting-services for the benefit of our clients. In addition to being technological innovators, Nixon Peabody also believes in delivering innovative legal counsel for our clients. Backed by the deep experience of our attorneys and our global resources as an international firm, we can rapidly develop innovative ideas resulting in high-value, practical solutions for you.

One Firm: We believe in teamwork and working together as “One Firm.” This means we work together across our many offices and practice areas to provide whatever team of attorneys our clients require. By harnessing all of our resources, we are able to leverage best practices across our firm for the benefit of our clients.

Diversity: We pride ourselves on an open and inclusive environment that celebrates and taps into our strength in diversity. Our diverse people and points of view allow us to attract the best people, and provide a rich and stimulating work environment that fosters innovation and a high-performance culture. Our atmosphere of mutual respect has helped Nixon Peabody earn recognition as a top employer. For the past three years we have been recognized by FORTUNE magazine as one of the “FORTUNE 100 Best Companies to Work For®,” and we have also received a perfect score from The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Equality Leadership Award-honors that also aid in attracting and retaining top legal talent.

These values are expressed in our Firmwide Commitments to our clients, our people, our communities, and our partnership.
