The Legacy Project
Eager to write the true history: we believe that elite legal and strategic counsel must be anchored in a deeper understanding of human culture, history, and spirit. This conviction is a direct reflection of our firm’s first and most important core value: Faith, which for us is rooted in the Orthodox Christian tradition. The Legacy Project is our commitment to exploring these foundational ideals.
It is a curated platform for leading independent thinkers—philosophers, theologians, artists, and historians—to explore the enduring values that shape our world. We are proud to sponsor this dialogue, as it reflects our own commitment to a counsel that is not just technically excellent, but also wise.
“No other human creation matches spiritual creations, in price and beauty. Spiritual creations include cultural values, comprising religion, art, sciences and philosophy.” — Dimitrie Gusti, 1939
