About Johnston Clem Gifford

Our Cause We aim to create superior work through constant evolution. The work matters because the result matters. It matters to our clients, to our adversaries, to our judges, and to our contractual counterparties. We produce superior work by effort and intelligence, but also by challenging standards. We seek continuous improvement, for ourselves and for our clients. Our firm logo reflects this desire for evolution: a deceptively simple origami figure. Origami figures are flexible—they can be plain or ornate, brutal or graceful. They can change from one form to another. The practice rewards patience and demands effort and creativity. Our Mission We strive to attract the most interesting legal work from the most dynamic clients by living our values, applying a timeless work ethic, and developing deep core strengths. In everything we do, we seek to balance the practice of law with the business of law. Our Values Talent, integrity, motivation, professional judgment. Every lawyer should prize these qualities and should apply them in the pursuit of their client’s interests. We consider them “table stakes”—the minimum requirements for participation in the profession. Our lawyers, paralegals, and support and executive staff members share these qualities, but also several less common traits. We measure ourselves against the qualities below—five values that form the foundation of our law firm. • Sense of Urgency. • Obsessive Curiosity. • Collaborative Philosophy. • Clear Communication. • Advanced Technology. Our Niche We have deep expertise in financial services, technology, corporate transactions, and corporate plaintiff representation. Find us on Twitter at www.twitter.com/johnstonclem
