What Does it Mean to be "Mission Driven"?

In the realm of legal services, a new player has emerged with a unique approach that is changing the game for organizations driven by social impact. We are Mission Driven Counsel, LLP. But what, exactly, does it mean for someone, or an organization, to be "mission driven"? If you are someone who self-identifies as being mission driven, you kind of just know what that means. But here's our way of trying to define it:

Being mission driven isn’t about your title or where you work. It’s about how you think and why you act.

Mission-driven people balance what’s practical with what’s right. They know you can push for smarter, more strategic impact not only because it’s the right thing to do, but because it makes better business sense, especially in the long-run.

Mission-driven people usually start by asking: How will this affect the people we serve? They value commitment over convenience. They act out of gratitude, not obligation. They take the long view, even while meeting urgent needs, because lasting impact requires both.

Being mission driven means seeing the bigger picture: the ripple effects of each decision, the opportunities as well as the risks, and the chance to create something better than what came before.

At Mission Driven Counsel, LLP, we share that mindset. We help you reimagine what development can look like—how business, nonprofits, and governments can work together to create meaningful, lasting change.

In short, we "get you" because we are one of you.
