Be in your happy place

The Schwabe Way

Our values help us attract clients and talented colleagues today, yet they are also why
our firm has been together for 130 years. We’re stewards of these values. We live by
them. We own them. We carry them forward. Our values are generosity, taking great
care of people, giving back to our communities, working and playing hard, empathy,
and rewarding performance.

The shared values we prize take shape in action. Values are the Schwabe version of the timeless golden rule—treating people how we wish to be treated.

The actions we live and stand by are:

• being collaborative
• finding joy in what we do and how we do it
• welcoming diversity in thought, action, and perspectives
• kicking a** consistently
• holding high standards

One of the things we all value is becoming better and better; here’s how we accomplish that:

• be bold
• be strategic
• be healthy
• be industrious

Representing Schwabe means we wear these shared values on our sleeves with pride, honor, heartfelt action, and the kind of hustle that got us here in the first place. This is the Schwabe way.
