Unlike the traditional law firm model, PKH supports and encourages the concept of working from home apart from being merely a pandemic necessity.  We believe that a healthy work-life balance is more readily achieved without being tied to a central office every weekday.  To this end, we have designed our technology infrastructure from the ground up to leverage cloud-native services to enable work from anywhere, without the inconveniences of relying on legacy systems and clunky cloud add-ons. 

Our innovative platform keeps overhead to a minimum, which helps us to keep costs low for our clients and to offer you a better return for your labor.  Clients have no desire to fund an expansive art collection for our offices, and we know you do not either.
