This small office of a solid Northwest firm is not in growth mode--but they aren't afraid to scoop up talented lawyers from their neighbors when the opportunity arises. They concentrate their full service efforts on a clientele that may not be dominating the Fortune 500, but do give this firm an interesting range of work. This firm is at its best when handling corporate work for small or mid-sized companies, with an occasional IPO here and there.
