To celebrate our name change, our friends at Washington Trust Bank baked us some cookies designed like the Roberts Kaplan signs on our website. A sweet idea that went down well. Thank you!

The Am Law Daily, a media website from AmericanLawyer.com, was suitably impressed with the new Roberts Kaplan website - enough to write a feature on it. They commented on the "radical" design and unique Northwest lifestyle focus. The full story is at:
