SRH Law has become a Certified B Corporation®

SRH Law was founded on the mission to make this world a better place. We have taken to heart that we practice with a purpose to strengthen our community and to enhance the environment we live in. We work with clients who share our commitment to making a difference in their communities and the broader world. We take our inspiration from our clients’ good work and help them excel in their business or mission by resolving their legal issues with creativity and integrity.

There is always room to challenge ourselves, to improve the scope of our mission, and to make a greater difference. With that said, SRH Law is pleased to announce that after satisfying a rigorous set of standards, we are a Certified B Corporation. B Corps™ are businesses that meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose. B Corps are accelerating a global culture shift to redefine success in business and build a more inclusive and sustainable economy. You can read more about B Corps here.

Co-founder of the firm and managing partner John Kassel undertook many of the obstacles SRH Law faced in order to become a Certified B Corporation. Though challenging, the firm succeeded in attaining this status, he believes, in part due to the mission we were founded on. He remarks on this achievement. “The collective commitment of all of us to our mission, our core principles and our positive work culture is what made this possible. There is no doubt in my mind that SRH Law is exactly the kind of organization that belongs in the community of companies committed to the betterment of people and our planet.”

At SRH Law we’re focused on making a difference with our practice.

We hope to inspire other law firms across the country to join us as People Using Business as a Force for Good™.

SRH Law Annual Volunteer Day


Last Friday, October 18th, SRH Law held its 3rd annual volunteer day at the North Branch Cascades in Worcester and Elmore, Vermont.  As we have for the past two years, the firm headed out with the Vermont River Conservancy (VRC) to work on improvements to the approximately one-mile trail that runs along VT Route 12 and the Winooski River. The trail is full of cascades, waterfalls, and swimming holes, and has been the focal point of an ongoing effort by VRC to restore the trail and make it fully accessible to people of all abilities.

SRH Law has had the privilege to be part of this effort, to further our mission of giving back to the community and to honor the memory of our colleague, Betsy Catlin, who served on the VRC Board.  This year, the firm helped build a large bridge across the river, various stone steps and pathways from the trail to the river’s edge, and an informational kiosk at the trail’s head.
