What's in a Name?

Prov·i·den·ti·a

(Noun)

/ proː.u̯iˈden.ti.a /

In ancient Roman religion, the Goddess Providentia was the divine personification of the ability to foresee and make provision for the future. Like our namesake, Providentia helps our clients prepare for the future by using our knowledge to create value, and by identifying and implementing solutions that enable the right sourcing of legal resources and technology.  We are engaged to do exactly that by clients ranging from start-ups to tech giants. In a complex environment, a little foresight can go a long way.
