Hill & Kehne is committed to:

Clients' Interests. Our mission is to provide clients with the best services possible and the greatest assurances that their interests are being protected and promoted.

Ethics. As a multi-disciplinary law firm, we are required to abide by attorney Rules of Professional Conduct in every aspect of our practice (including insurance brokerage and consulting).  This includes but is not limited to disclosing possible conflicts and preserving client confidence

Hill & Kehne's Sustainability Initiatives include the following:

• We were the first law firm in the country to meet each of the four criteria in the ABA-EPA Law Office Climate Challenge.
• We were the first insurance brokerage to fully fund and otherwise commit itself to carbon neutrality, through Carbonfund.org.
• Through the Jane Goodall Institute's Roots & Shoots Program, we sponsor an ongoing collaboration between students in Shanghai, China and Montgomery County, Maryland, and we have funded the planting of thousands of trees in China.

Hill & Kehne attracts and works with clients who pursue environmentally constructive projects. For example:

• We serve, on a pro bono basis, as outside counsel to the internationally-recognized NGO, Environmental Defense Fund, in a major lawsuit to preserve tens of thousands of acres of valuable wetlands.

• We are counsel to Bluewater Wind, selected by the State of Delaware to provide its citizens with their next generation of power, in the form of what may be the first offshore wind park in the U.S.

• We assist the United States Air Force in its use of environmental insurance and liability-transfer contracting to clean up discontinued Air Force bases and enable their re-use by local communities.

• We assist Cherokee Investment Partners, the world's largest developer of contaminated properties, and a builder of LEED-certified neighborhood developments.

• We are broker to The Pacific Forest Trust, an organization dedicated to "conserving America's working forests for all their public benefits -- wood, water, wildlife and a well-balanced climate."  PFT has several offset project registerd on the California Climate Action Registry (CCAR) and  we are working with PFT to establish innovative insurance products to protect forest carbon offsets for the required 100 years.
