Our Team

At The Modern Firm, we believe in finding people who are great at what they do, and then trusting them to do what they love.

The great thing about our line of work is that we can work from anywhere - high speed internet required, of course.  We couldn’t call ourselves “modern” if we were all crammed into the same office, could we?
