Wong Fleming started in 1994 in New Jersey and, from its inception, has
represented corporations in employment, bankruptcy, and a host of different types
of commercial litigation matters, and rather quickly, the firm became the
national boutique law firm it is today. We're in many of the major population
centers around the country serving as national counsel for Fortune 500
companies. Wong Fleming has grown considerably over the last 25 years to
be one of the largest minority and women-owned law firms in the country. In
representing businesses, we are committed to understanding what their interests
are, what their needs are, when we're handling any type of transaction or
litigation. We've got a tremendous staff working for us.
They're very committed to the practice of law. They are very committed to their
clients, and it shows in the work and the results that we've been able to
accomplish over the last number of years. A distinguished office with nationwide
coverage, solid values, and high recognition. That's Wong Fleming. I think
what sets us apart is that we're able to accommodate our clients needs all
across the nation. We have branch offices located in California, Washington, D.C.,
Washington State, Illinois, Indiana, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Florida,
Texas, Tennessee, Georgia, and even overseas through our cross-border
relations in Mexico, Canada, and Germany. The firm has been a minority-owned law
firm committed to diversity since we opened our doors in 1994. It is an
integral part of every facet of our firm including our recruitment, our training,
efforts, as well as the organizations we belong to and programs that we sponsor.
We've received certification from the National Minority Supplier Development
Council (NMSDC), the Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC), as a minority and
women-owned business enterprise and we contribute to like-minded organizations
such as NAMWOLF to promote diversity in the legal profession. The firm is
part of a diverse community which is made richer through the many cultures and
ethnicities that have made the United States their home. We are tremendously
grateful for and highly regard NAMWOLF as they have helped us in leveraging our
firm as a minority and women-owned firm and have allowed us to contribute to the
diversity initiative of corporations and in-house counsel. We believe that the
power of NAMWOLF's dedication and advocacy to achieve equal opportunities for
diverse firms is continuing to forge a higher path for the legal industry and
we are proud to be a part of that community. Diversity is an asset. When you
have a team that is made up of different people, different genders, races, and from
different backgrounds, each one of those people brings a different reference
point to the table so when you're trying to work your way through a legal issue
in the global marketplace, those cultural perspectives lead to a more creative and
collaborative thought process than if everyone in the room looks the same and
whose instinct is to solve the same problem in the same way they always have.
We also are committed to pro bono activities and we support a number of
organizations throughout the country. Our attorneys have put in about
6,000 pro bono hours on behalf of the community and this has been done
throughout the nation from Seattle to Texas to Atlanta and in the New Jersey,
New York, and Philadelphia regions. Our firm has been a proud sponsor of
diversity initiatives such as NJ LEEP which serves youth from ages 6 to 12 in
underserved neighborhoods to teach them academic skills and how to succeed. We
also participate each year in a Global Day of Service which is organized by the
Ford Office of General Counsel professional women's network Legal
Alliance for Women. Last year, I helped lead our volunteer initiative by
presenting on voters rights to the senior class at a charter school in Ewing, New
Jersey with 100% minority enrollment. Our aim for this project was to commit to a
day of community service aimed specifically at women and children which
is in line with the Legal Alliance for Women's mission statement. No
one-size-fits-all for billing at our firm. We work with our clients to come up with
alternative billing solutions that work best for the client and our firm. We have
graduated billing based upon experience, we use alternate billing that include
flat fee, contingency, and phase billing, and most importantly, we work with the
client to come to a solution that provides value to the client. Our
clients bestow an absolute trust in us, and this year, Wong Fleming was
recognized by Law 360 as one of the best firms for minority and women attorneys
in the United States with firms of 20 to 49 attorneys. Our goal is to provide
excellent legal services to our clients. We want to understand their business and
deliver value for all of our services. Their success is our success and we want
to make sure that we meet our clients needs whenever we represent them.
