HopgoodGanim's internal culture is centred on a concept we call "business mateship". Joe Ganim and Paul Hopgood, the founders of the firm, embraced the ideas of collaboration and friendship right from day one. The firm was built on this philosophy of mateship, not only between employees of the firm but with clients and other stakeholders as well.
We believe in treating each other, and our clients, as we would treat our friends. Some of the ways we do this include:
- Providing our clients with great service and breaking down the traditional conservative barriers between lawyers and their clients
- Approaching our work with passion, positivity and a tenacious attitude
- Openly sharing our thoughts and ideas for ways to improve processes and procedures
- Providing straightforward and honest answers to questions from colleagues and clients
- Getting to know more about the personality of the people we work with by finding out what 'makes them tick' and what their passions are outside of work
- Communicating with our clients and colleagues as much as possible about the progress of work we're doing for them
- Understanding and responding to our clients' needs so that we develop strong relationships that outlast a single transaction
