Our Culture

Because Farris is not like most other firms, our culture is best described by the qualities we believe make us unique.

Tradition…

At Farris, we have long been guided by tradition. This tradition continues to serve as our foundation, and our inspiration: doing the best that we can for our client, by doing good work. This tradition honours the past and welcomes the future. It is timeless.

Innovation…

The success of our firm has only one measure: the success of the clients we serve.

Today, doing good work for our clients means advancing our position as knowledgeable, multi-disciplinary service providers with global competence. Our lawyers continue to demonstrate their qualities as innovative strategists, well able to manage the complexities of emerging industries, advancing technology and variable, international economies to maximum advantage.

Our People…

Our lawyers, students and staff share a common goal – excellence in all that we do. We expect nothing less than each other’s best efforts at all times, and vigorously foster an environment that encourages the individual and supports the team. The unique qualities that each individual brings to the collective effort are fundamental to the continued success of our firm and its clients, and we proudly acknowledge their contributions to our past... and to our future.

Our Structure…

Our capacity to manoeuvre quickly at the global level reflects an equally efficient internal structure.

Our firm is not managed by committees which enables us to better focus on our clients and our work. That means no committee meetings; no billable hour budgets; no firm retreats; no written partnership agreement, and few partner meetings.

And, our unique partner admission policy – encouraging our associates to approach us, when they believe they are ready for partnership – further reveals an environment that is unencumbered by formalities, cultivates service excellence and rewards innovative thinking.
