Our Core Values
We've built The Charter Law Group, LLC on a common set of values that drive how we do business every day. They are our north star for ensuring we deliver with excellence for our clients.
Ruthless Integrity
We say what we are going to do, and we do what we say. We do the right thing, even when no one’s looking. We put the best interests of our clients above our own, but strive where possible to make those interests one and the same.
Honest To A Fault
Whether it’s good, bad, ugly, or all the above. We admit fault when necessary and do not hide from our mistakes or try to cover them up. We are honest people.
Communicate, Overcommunicate, Repeat
Information is the currency of our organization. We communicate rapidly and openly with one another, our clients, and our business partners. When in doubt, shout it out.
Knowledge is Power
Sharing our experience, expertise, and knowledge is a fundamental driving principle in everything we do. Knowledgeable team members, clients, and business partners make good decisions. Good decisions lead to good outcomes. We strive to educate, internally and externally, wherever we can
Respectful, Humble, Hungry
Every single person that comes to us is either building something, has already built something, or has a plan to build something new. We are respectful of our clients and humbled by their achievements so far. They have come to us to from a place of strength, ready to grow stronger. We respect this and thrive off the energy it brings. We are hungry for our own success and the success of our clients, because they are one and the same.
Authentic, Approachable, Helpful, Human
We are authentic and approachable - but fiercely competent in our areas of expertise. We don’t take ourselves too seriously. We treat our clients’ issues as our own. We strive to be as helpful as possible. Our clients are human, so are we – we don’t ask them to hide it and we don’t apologize for it ourselves.
Invested in Abundance
We know there is plenty out there for everyone. We don’t need others to lose for us to win. We are not playing a zero-sum game. Growth for one can mean growth for all. We invest in our people, our clients, and our business partners and know the rising tide will lift all boats.
