Allen Bromberger - Law in the Fourth Sector

Can you really have it all? Can you have a profitable job and live true to your values by making the world a better place? Attorney and writer Allen Bromberger believes the answer is yes, and he's built a thriving legal practice on that idea.

Allen Bromberger is a pioneer in a new field combining non-profit and for-profit legal structures. That means his clients are simultaneously pursuing two goals: financial well-being, and social or environmental well-being. Sometimes this is called the 4th sector, and in Allen's 35 years of legal practice, it's moved from a fringe idea to a thriving pillar of our society and our economy.

In addition to practicing at the firm Perlman and Perlman, Allen has co-authored the book "The Art of Social Enterprise: Business As If People Mattered." He's much sought-after for public speeches and presentations, but he's taken the time today to tell us about his work, the skills it requires, and how these same ideals can build a successful law practice.
