It's something that goes beyond daydreams and extends into the practicalities of planning, delivery and client satisfaction.
 
Our clients possess these traits. They consider succession even as they cast a vision and develop future plans in their endeavors. We believe that having this in common with our clients is a key reason we have identified so well and truly partnered with them.

The lawyers at Evans Petree continually consider how we will effectively serve clients tomorrow, next year, and even into the next century. What will it mean when our current clients' descendants are working with the next generation of professionals in our firm?


While we can't predict which aspect of our society or development in our culture will drive future laws, we know it is important to anticipate and plan for change, to continue our learning, and to expand our connections in a manner that best suits the needs of our clients.

Like other entrepreneurs, our founding did not include a 100-year plan. However, having recently celebrated a centennial of service, we embrace the future, certain of its arrival and eager to face its challenges. But what we look forward to most is connecting with you there. ]]> Thu, 06 Jan 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.evanspetree.com/aboutus/thenext100years
