Rimon Law Group Becomes First Virtual Law Firm to Earn B Corporation Certification for Environmental and Social Responsibility
Firm's Virtual Model, Focus on Eco-Friendly Business Principles Set Standard in Legal Community

SILICON VALLEY, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 07/10/09 -- Rimon Law Group, a San-Francisco, CA-based virtual law firm with international operations, has become the first virtual law firm to be certified as a B Corporation, a distinction given to organizations that adhere to the highest standards of environmental and social responsibility. The B Corporation certification was granted by B Lab, a non-profit organization which applied its "B Ratings System," a comprehensive tool to assess a company's social and environmental performance based on the company's policies, actions, and overall business philosophy. As of June 2009, there were over 200 B Corporations in over 30 industries, representing a more-than $1 billion marketplace.

Rimon, as the first high-end virtual law firm in the United States, has been an innovator in the legal industry since its inception. It was the first law firm in the country to feature only partner-level attorneys operating in a low-overhead environment and the first law firm in the United States to implement a satisfaction-based billing program. The B Corporation certification now marks Rimon Law Group as a leader in the realms of social and environmental responsibility.

The policies for which Rimon earned its B Corporation certification include providing free services to non-profits, advancing clean technology initiatives and donating 10% of its profits to charitable organizations. Environmental benefits are also inherent in Rimon's business model. By eliminating wasteful office space and by using technology to deliver its services, Rimon generates significant cost savings for its clients. Its unique business model also means that Rimon operates with a tiny fraction of the carbon footprint generated by traditional law firms.

"We want our clients not only to admire our business model but also to identify with our values," said Michael Moradzadeh, the CEO of Rimon. "This certification is a recognition of our deep belief that the legal industry has a special responsibility to help our community and environment. It's a verifiable standard to ensure we continue to care not just about our bottom line, but our communities as well." Since its inception, Rimon has partnered with community organizations such as Pacific Community Ventures, JHTC, JCRC, and J-REC's Clean Energy Conference.
