Sustainability Story

Parlatore Law Group is a nationwide law group. Our law firm is unique because our business model was designed, from the ground up, to be cloud-based and carbon neutral. As a result, we look very different from other law firms, as we do not maintain physical offices, unnecessary amenities, or even physical paper files. Rather, we keep everything in the cloud and with the digitization of all files and documents, we have been able to help save trees, which significantly allows our firm to shine when it comes to minimizing our carbon footprint and emissions. While we are ever vigilant to discover new ways to reduce our carbon footprint, at present we believe that we have achieved the lowest emissions possible for any law firm. Because of this, our efforts are focused outwards, rather than inwards. As a firm that focuses on assisting entrepreneurs and growing businesses, we are uniquely positioned to assist many different companies to not only grow their businesses but also to do so in a carbon-conscious way. We will continue to engage with new companies and like-minded businesses to share our carbon-neutral business practices and help educate them on becoming more carbon neutral by bringing the power of sustainable energy to the forefront of their business models. Advocating for the environment, increasing awareness, cutting carbon costs, reducing footprints, and replenishing resources are included as additional aspects of this plan. In addition to our clients, we are also strong advocates in the Court systems to promote a continuation of remote court appearances, thereby increasing the efficiency of the Courts and significantly reducing the amount of travel, and associated emissions for the lawyers.
