Thinking Green
Pryor Cashman’s Thinking Green initiative encompasses sustainability, stewardship and environmental commitments. Thinking Green embodies the philosophy that a law firm can and should play an important role in addressing today’s challenges facing the environment.
We take our role as environmental stewards seriously and want our clients to know that we share the environmental challenges that affect the way businesses operate today. We join our clients in supporting environmental sustainability and strive to reduce our carbon footprint.
Pryor Cashman recognizes that the Thinking Green initiative begins with a focus on minimizing the environmental impact of our own business operations and employing pioneering environmental measures. For example, we have reduced paper usage and provide electronic documentation whenever possible. We encourage duplex printing and use 30% post-consumer recycled stock for our photocopies and general printing. Our letterhead stationery is 100% cotton (meaning no trees were used in its production) and our marketing materials are printed on post-consumer recycled stock.
As part of our Thinking Green initiative, we continue to explore methods to reduce our electricity usage, evaluate the use of natural cleaning products and work with our building to monitor refuse removal. We have expanded our recycling practices and encourage employees to use ceramic and glass plates and cups rather than paper.
In 2008, in lieu of mailing paper holiday cards that deplete our environmental resources, we sent out electronic holiday greetings and made a donation to City Harvest to help feed hungry New Yorkers. In July 2009, Pryor Cashman relocated its offices from 410 Park Avenue to 7 Times Square Tower, a noted “Green” office building.
At Pryor Cashman, we continue to assess our carbon footprint and put into practice sustainable solutions that address environmental concerns. We are always Thinking Green.
Our Entrepreneurial Perspective
Bucking the 21st century’s bigger-is-better evolution, Pryor Cashman successfully balances the highly professional with the personal. As a premier, mid-sized law firm in New York, we are known for getting the job done right and doing it with integrity, efficiency and élan.
We consider ourselves an entrepreneurial law firm, unencumbered by bureaucracy – able to break new ground with unique approaches. An environment where lawyers make independent, informed and creative decisions on behalf of their clients – eliminating logjams and avoiding wasteful over-lawyering. In fact, we are known for our expeditious and creative handling of complex challenges, our accessibility, our practicality and, equally important, our cost-sensible solutions.
Whether we are counseling a multi-tiered institution or an individual, we know that, as is often the case with a complex work of art, it takes looking at things from multiple perspectives before one can see the entire picture.
Throughout our 48-year history, Pryor Cashman’s attorneys have made it a priority to focus on clearing the path for our clients to achieve their distinct goals while at the same time reducing risk and gaining competitive advantage.
Pryor Cashman is also a member of Interlaw, an international network of select, independent, business-oriented, full-service law firms. We routinely work with the member firms in 120 cities worldwide in numerous countries throughout North and South America, Europe, Asia and Africa in order to protect our clients' overseas interests. We also work with ECOVIS International, an association providing tax consulting, auditing and management consultancy services outside the U.S.
