COMMUNITY
and Corporate Social Responsibility
Making a difference in the community in which we live, work and play is an important objective for our team at Goodfellow & Schuettlaw.
​
We strongly believe in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). We strongly support volunteerism and philanthropy can have a significant impact on our community, and we must play a role.
At Goodfellow & Schuettlaw, employees are encouraged to take advantage of opportunities to participate in volunteerism and help their community.

Our team is proud of our commitment to the community.

The Bob Schuett Memorial Foundation was founded in 2023, five years after the death of one of the two founders of our law firm. His son, Robert M.
