Dedicated attorneys, paralegals and staff work together to achieve the goals of our clients and the firm. We are always looking for enthusiastic, motivated, and talented individuals ready to advance our clients’ objectives.

Supportive Environment

Our supportive and collegial culture sets us apart from other Northwest law firms. Our working environment for both professionals and support staff is hospitable and personally engaging. We maintain high standards of courtesy and respect, promote humor and camaraderie, and encourage a sense of community within the organization. We offer the opportunity to pursue a challenging legal career that is reasonably balanced with outside personal, family, and community interests. To help achieve this balance, we make part-time opportunities available to all professionals, including both partners and non-partners.

Formal and informal social events are regular occurrences at the firm. We regularly celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, and employee arrivals and farewells with beverages, hors d’oeuvres, conversation, and laughter. We also host annual events where we bring together people from all areas of the firm such as holiday dinners, bowling tournaments and summer picnics. Friday Happy Hour and getting-acquainted lunches for new associates help strengthen communication and cohesiveness among professionals and staff of all levels. We place a high value on each individual’s contributions to the firm’s success.

Partnership Track

It is the firm’s hope that all associates will become partners. The time frame for an associate to become a partner is approximately eight to ten years, although this may be adjusted depending upon the associate’s development. Admission to the partnership occurs approximately six months after an associate is voted a partner.

Compensation & Benefits

The firm is committed to providing a compensation and benefits package for associates that is competitive with those offered by leading area firms. Salaries are based upon experience and level of professional development.

Our two-tier bonus system is designed to recognize and reward those associates who satisfy the firm’s minimum billable hour expectation and produce superior work and, separately, to compensate associates for exceptionally hard work that directly benefits clients and increases the productivity of the firm.

For lateral attorneys coming from other jurisdictions, the firm allows three weeks of paid leave to study and sit for the Bar examination, in addition to covering fees for the Bar examination, Bar review course, and Multi-state Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE).

New associates who practice predominantly in litigation can expect to argue motions in court, take depositions and draft pleadings in their first year, while new associates in the business practice areas will participate in analyzing and structuring transactions and drafting the documents to implement them. All associates have the opportunity to work directly with clients from the beginning of their careers.

To balance this level of early responsibility, the firm offers appropriate guidance to new associates. Practice group leaders work with associates to establish a training and development plan. Senior associates and partners provide informal training and feedback to new associates working with them on client projects. In addition, we conduct semi-annual performance reviews to help keep new associates on track. We also make available a wide variety of continuing education opportunities.

Our attorneys rely on a dedicated team of professional staff members for their success, including paralegals, receptionists and legal assistants. In addition, we offer career opportunities in accounting, administration, docketing, human resources, marketing, office services, records management, and information technology.

When you join our professional team, you will find a working environment that is hospitable and personally engaging. We maintain high standards of courtesy and respect, promote humor and camaraderie, and encourage a sense of community within the organization. Most important, we place a high value on each individual’s contributions to the firm’s success.
