At Stokes Lawrence, we believe that when our people thrive, our clients thrive. Our culture is built on respect, collaboration, and genuine care for one another—values that shape how we work, how we show up for our colleagues, and how we serve our community. It’s one of the many reasons we are consistently honored as one of the Puget Sound Business Journal’s Best Workplaces in Washington State.
We are proud to foster an environment where people can grow, be themselves, and pursue meaningful careers without sacrificing balance or belonging. Beyond competitive benefits, our culture is rooted in connection—celebrating milestones together, supporting one another through challenges, and creating a workplace where camaraderie is the norm, not the exception.
Whether someone is working from home, stepping into the office, or in a role that requires on-site full-time work, they are met by friendly faces, warm conversations, and a sense of belonging. Our offices are always bustling with energy—impromptu hallway chats, collaborative moments, and shared laughter that remind us how good it is to work alongside people you genuinely enjoy.
As a signatory to the American Bar Association’s Well‑Being Pledge, we’ve embraced a comprehensive seven‑point framework that prioritizes physical, emotional, and financial well‑being. This commitment is woven into the everyday experience of working here, thanks in large part to our dedicated Health & Wellness Committee, which continues to evolve programs and spark engagement about these important issues.
Our goal is simple: create a workplace where people can do exceptional work while feeling supported, balanced, and connected—both inside and outside the office.
Some of our well‑being and culture initiatives include:
- Monthly office‑wide social hours, birthday celebrations, and staff lunches that bring people together, celebrate wins, and strengthen relationships across teams.
- A thoughtfully stocked honor bar, including healthy snack options, to help fuel the day.
- Friendly wellness competitions—Marching Madness, Wellness BINGO, and our annual October Wellness Challenge—are designed to build community and inspire healthy habits.
- Educational presentations and monthly tips on financial planning, retirement readiness, stress management, and overall well‑being.
- Offering on‑site visits from a licensed massage therapist as an option for our employees to help reduce stress and promote physical wellness.
- An Employee Assistance Program offering confidential support and resources for life’s everyday challenges.
Together, these initiatives support what we value most: a workplace where people feel appreciated, energized, and empowered to be their best.
