In this short video, Mark Newberg, Womble Carlyle's Director of Impact Strategies, discusses how The Impact Economy is a new market force underpinned by public and private companies, entrepreneurs and investors that strive to achieve an intimate connection between profit and purpose. With a rapidly expanding market and an increasing number of participants, the idea of "impact" as an economic force has hit the mainstream.

Womble Carlyle's Impact Team strives to provide strategic and advisory services to our Impact clients in addition to legal services. The team guides companies and entrepreneurs in establishing sound organizational and operating principles that are tailored to their business models. We also work closely with businesses and investors to structure transactions that will provide the necessary access to, and effectively deploy, capital in support of sustainable, profitable and social responsible operations.
