VISION
Morgan Miller Blair's goal is to be the best business and real estate law firm based in the San Francisco's East Bay, respected in our markets for consistently providing high quality, responsive, value-added legal services.
CORE VALUES
We are committed to the following as we strive to achieve our vision for Morgan Miller Blair and to maintain a firm in which our attorneys and staff are proud to be members:
Client-Centric
- We strive to become an integral member of each client's business team by delivering responsive, value-added legal services. We are focused on understanding our client's business and its business objectives so that we can best advance and protect the client’s business interests.
Teamwork
- We recognize that our business model and relationships within the firm prosper through the synergy of group efforts. While strong individual efforts are essential to firm success, we believe we can achieve the greatest firm success and personal achievement by embracing a firm-first attitude, by team marketing and team servicing of clients, by supporting one another, by creating and maintaining collegial working relationships among attorneys and staff, and by working together to establish a respected presence of the firm within the community and our business markets.
Fiscal Responsibility and Investment
- While profits are not our first priority, we seek to wisely manage the firm’s finances to enable the firm to appropriately reward our principals, associates and staff for their efforts and achievements. We balance short-term economic objectives with a willingness to invest in projects and programs that are capable of producing valuable long-term returns. We invest in our attorneys and staff who have demonstrated a significant commitment to the firm and the ability and potential to make valuable contributions to the firm's long-term success.
Collegiality and Diversity
- We are committed to fostering and maintaining a collegial environment in which people look forward to coming to work together each day. We seek to create a diverse work-force and a tolerant work-place where all attorneys and staff are treated with dignity and respect and in which each is proud to be associated.
Contribution to Community
- We are committed to playing a positive role in our community, through the provision of pro bono legal services, through service and support to charitable, educational, artistic and civic organizations, and by participation in organizations that support the industries we serve in our law practice.
Dedication and Balance
- We value attorneys and staff who demonstrate a strong commitment of time and energy to their jobs and their career, and who focus on contributing to the success of the firm and our clients. The firm also values each attorney's and staff member's personal and family life and outside interests, and believes that an appropriate balance should be maintained, consistent with the positive work ethic that is essential to the firm's success and to each attorney's and staff member's success.
Integrity and Excellence
- We are committed to achieving our vision through the daily exercise of integrity and excellence. This means honoring our commitment to our client's interests while maintaining standards of conduct towards opposing counsel and parties that assure the firm's high reputation, among the bar and within the courts, for trustworthy, honest and ethical conduct. We set and maintain high standards of performance and professionalism for our attorneys and staff. We strive to fairly evaluate and properly train our attorneys and staff to meet such standards, as excellence is essential to achieving the firm's long-term vision of being the best law firm in the East Bay.
