Culture

How does RSHC make a winning difference and deliver maximum value for our clients?

We work in small, efficient teams. We staff our teams from an extraordinarily deep bench of talent who have apprenticed with top lawyers or judges since the beginning of their careers. Our teams are lean, deeply talented, efficient, and — as anyone who has faced off against them will tell you — powerfully effective. 

We are dedicated to an inclusive culture. Diversity is a value upon which we built the firm and a cornerstone of our ongoing success. The varied backgrounds and identities of our attorneys is a fact so self-evident we don’t talk about it much; it’s just who we all are. From Managing Partner and co-founder Patricia Brown Holmes, the first African-American woman to lead a major national law firm, to our most junior lawyers, our teams are comprised of talented attorneys who reflect the vitality and diversity of the world in which we live and work, and the multinational clients we serve.

We value relationships. We chose to build this firm together because of our shared values and our shared desire to serve clients with the highest possible standards of work quality and responsiveness. We came together because we’re friends. Our spirit of collegiality continues to shape our firm culture as we grow.  We are attorneys who genuinely enjoy collaborating and working with one another. Our attitude carries over into our relationships with clients –  we enjoy working with our clients and we are genuinely proud and grateful to be able to serve them.

We love what we do. Finding creative solutions to complex legal problems, outmaneuvering our opponents, and going the extra mile to tirelessly aid our clients is what motivates us.  It is what gets us up in the morning and keeps us working late into the night. We are proud to serve our varied clients, from the most sophisticated global corporations to the newest start-ups, from the highest-powered executives to the most under-resourced defendants, because we love the practice of law.
