RubinBrown: One Firm, A Tradition of Trust

Chapter 3

Advantages of the One-Firm Culture

A djusting to a one-firm culture may be easier for those who join the firm out of college and haven’t been exposed to any other workplace environment. But for those who join RubinBrown from other firms, the difference of a one-firm culture is immediately noticeable. That difference may manifest itself during an interview when a partner says, “RubinBrown is not concerned about what clients you may or may not bring with you. We are most interested in the expertise and leadership skills you can bring to the firm.”

On a day-to-day basis, a client situation or need for specific information brings home the practical advantages of a one-firm culture. Typical situations might involve spending a couple of hours on a phone call with a colleague from another office who has a question, or responding to a firm-wide outreach in support of a special project.
