Purpose
At Vela Wood, we are redefining what it means to practice law. Our firm is dedicated to improving the experience for our team, clients, and communities. We don’t believe in work-life balance—there’s just life. We encourage our employees to focus on their lives and hope VW becomes an important part of them. We take pride in the work we do and the clients we serve, seeing our role as more than delivering documents or legal advice. We aim to build a community that fosters a better, more caring, and just world.
Vision
At Vela Wood, we are committed to making a positive impact both locally and globally. Our internal initiative, Vela Wood Forward (VW FWD), dedicates financial resources and volunteer hours to support justice and equal rights for marginalized communities and to educate and empower our employees as agents of social change. We embrace a global perspective through international professional exchange programs and VW Abroad, which allows our firm to work remotely from another country each year.
