Join the team that challenges the legal status quo.

Working at Sandberg Phoenix means joining a group of creative thinkers, expert doers and client-focused team players who can balance hard work with having fun and serving our community. We want to promote personal and professional growth in everything we do.

We stand by our values.

At Sandberg Phoenix, we are committed to maintaining a culture of integrity and accountability.

We have turned our personal values into our shared company values by allowing everyone a seat at the table for involvement. Our process creates a culture of acceptance, belonging and respect. We live these values and integrate them into all aspects of our firm to ensure that we achieve our aspirations of providing the best client service in the legal industry.

We put people first.

We value the happiness and well-being of our members and the communities we serve. We believe in communicating with people sincerely, internally and externally. We have a genuine commitment to interacting with people in positive ways and forging authentic relationships. Our commitment to putting people first is reflected in our values-based hiring and recruitment practices, flexibility in scheduling and open-door policy.

We wow our clients every day.

For more than 40 years, we have maintained a reputation for providing extraordinary client services, backed by a money-back guarantee that was among the first of its kind in the St. Louis region. We create genuine relationships with our clients and honor our commitments, adding value to their lives and meeting their needs wholly. We don't just want to satisfy our clients — we want to wow our clients.

We take responsibility.

We take personal responsibility when it comes to meeting the needs of our clients, coworkers and our firm goals. We act in ways that improve the lives of our employees and our clients by taking accountability and being responsive to each other. We own our actions, good or bad, and then make steps to adjust and move forward.

We invest in the communities we serve.

We are committed to public service. Every member of our firm has the social responsibility to improve the communities in which we live and work. Our investment ranges from monetary donations to helping those unable to afford legal services through our pro bono work to participating in community nonprofit organization initiatives.

We have fun.

While work ethic is a strongly valued strength of our members, we try to not take ourselves too seriously. A fun and enjoyable work environment helps us keep perspective and allows us to look forward to coming to work every day.

We never stop learning.

Our team is committed to lifelong learning. Lifelong learning is about recognizing your blind spots and deliberately and voluntarily taking steps to develop those blind spots. We believe in maintaining a positive attitude while we further our knowledge and develop new skills ranging from keeping up to date on legal trends to learning a new hobby.

We're all in this together.

Our culture represents a rebellion against traditional assumptions about law firms. We celebrate partnership, diversity, innovation, and balance. We pride ourselves on a progressive culture and rewarding career path opportunities.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion.

At Sandberg Phoenix, diversity and inclusion aren’t just ideals—we embed them into everything we do. For us, diversity is more than representation; it’s about fostering an environment where diverse perspectives fuel innovation, inclusion drives impact, and every voice is heard, valued, and empowered.

We actively engage with diverse communities and ensure every client experiences a culture of belonging. Our firm members use their voices and expertise to champion diversity and inclusion initiatives at the local, state, and national levels. Whether through economic empowerment, pro bono legal services, legal advocacy, or community service, we take bold steps to create meaningful change.

Our commitment to equity starts from within. We strive to recruit, retain, and advance talent from all backgrounds, ensuring a workplace that reflects the diversity of the communities we serve. This dedication is recognized through our Mansfield 6.0 Certification from Diversity Lab—an achievement that signifies our structured, measurable commitment to inclusive leadership and opportunity.

Beyond our internal efforts, we extend our impact through strategic partnerships with organizations such as BAMSL, Missouri Asian American Bar Association, and Land of Lincoln Legal Aid, strengthening our ability to drive justice and equality across the legal landscape.

But we don’t stop at meeting industry standards—we push boundaries. We challenge the status quo, disrupt conventional DEI approaches, and continuously evolve to foster a more competitive, culturally aware, and forward-thinking firm and community. We invest in education, resources, and professional development to deepen our collective understanding and drive lasting impact.

At Sandberg Phoenix, we don’t just talk about diversity and inclusion—we live it. Every day.

Women Lawyers Forum.

At Sandberg Phoenix, we foster an environment where women thrive.

Men and women, shareholders and associates alike, come together to create a supportive environment for our female attorneys. However, we recognize that while women in the legal profession and within our firm have come a long way, there is room for additional growth.

Our Women Lawyer Forum was formed to continually advocate for our female attorneys’ advancement and equal opportunity initiatives. Women now outnumber men as law school graduates, and the private practice of law has some catching up to do in reflecting these numbers within its ranks. We monitor the advancements of our female attorneys and ensure we are given equal access and opportunities to succeed at all levels of our firm, including management. Our committee hosts networking activities, plans educational programs, advocates for policy changes, and strives to advance the personal and professional life of all female attorneys within our firm.

Our Women Lawyers Forum introduced Mansfield to the firm. Mansfield helps ensure that all talent has an equal opportunity to advance into leadership through transparency and an intentional fairness-based decision-making process informed by behavioral science. Sandberg Phoenix proudly maintains our Mansfield 6.0 certification.

Our Women’s Committee and our members are dedicated to being at the forefront of gender equality in the legal industry. We will continue to take the steps, large and small, necessary to support our women as we shape the future of the legal profession.

Wellness programs.

We work to bring out the best in our lawyers and support staff so they can perform for our clients. That’s why we provide our colleagues with exemplary benefits and flexible schedules to take care of what matters most in life: themselves and their families.

Community involvement.

Our people are deeply committed to supporting the diverse local areas in which they live. Each year, the Community Involvement team determines causes to support.
