From apparel to electronics, automobiles to household products, grocery stores to online retailers, we provide counsel to consumer product companies on mergers and acquisitions, financing, regulatory compliance, intellectual property and brand management, product liability, product labeling, safety and compliance, cross-border issues, and litigation and other means of resolving disputes.
Business Formation
Business Disputes
Our life sciences litigators constantly team up with the IP and corporate attorneys to defend your business against patent challenges, government investigations, contract disputes, product liability claims, antitrust cases, trade secrets litigation and the full range of business torts. We employ preventative strategies to manage risk and offer talented representation in any venue, whether handling settlement negotiations, arbitration, mediation, trial or appeal.
Business Transactions
Our corporate, litigation and insurance policy advisors are a cross-discipline team that advises on contract negotiations and commercial transactions involving port authorities, bulk handling facilities and related air and sea transportation companies. Our clients include some of the busiest ports in the U.S., including seaport and airport operators in Washington, Oregon and California and related trade associations. While our experience is with clients on the Pacific Coast, we’re recognized nationally for our capabilities and leadership.
Limited Liability Companies
We represent investors and active members in all aspects of planning, forming, structuring, permitting and managing joint ventures, limited and general partnerships, limited liability companies and other alliances. Our services include advice on tax consequences, drafting and negotiating agreements, and assisting with dispute resolution and liquidation. We also represent joint venture entities in acquisitions and other transactions.

Trade Secrets
Intellectual Property
We’ve led transactions for the purchase and sale of oil and gas fields throughout the western U.S. and Canada. In addition to standard due diligence for oil and gas-related transactions, we are vigilant about examining the myriad land use, permitting and environmental issues—both actual and potential—that arise when effecting exploration agreements, contracts, leases or financing. In addition to documenting and negotiating transaction details, we collaborate with tax attorneys experienced with special state and federal tax concerns that apply to businesses engaged in oil and gas exploration and development. On an ongoing basis, we provide to energy companies counsel on operational issues such as securities compliance, corporate finance, intellectual property protection, workforce management, employee benefits planning, and real estate and construction matters.
Unfair Competition
Antitrust

Wrongful Termination
Represented a large industrial shipyard in multiple litigation matters. Successfully secured summary judgment dismissing a plaintiff’s wrongful termination claim based on newly disclosed documents on the eve of trial. Continue to provide guidance on a variety of matters, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA).
Employment Litigation
We provide counseling and dispute resolution services across the spectrum of labor and employment law and advise employers on employment disputes and on the design, implementation and administration of all types of employee benefit plans and executive compensation arrangements.

We help design and implement a wide range of additional employee benefit programs, including tax-sheltered annuity programs (403(b)s), employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs), severance pay arrangements, governmental deferred compensation programs (457(b)s and 457(f)s), cash bonus programs and other broad-based incentive compensation plans.

Real Estate Litigation
Our litigation team is well versed in disputes that arise in the alcohol industry. We have represented competing landowners in vineyard boundary disputes, environmental enforcement actions by regulatory agencies, insurance coverage actions, private citizen suits, product liability defense and other similar matters. Our attorneys regularly handle cases involving commercial contracts, sale or development of IP, construction, real estate, and partnership disputes.
Premises Liability
Construction Litigation
We work as a team to share our expertise with clients from a project’s concept to completion — a “soup to nuts” approach. From negotiating purchase and sale agreements or design-build contracts, to arranging financing, drafting leases, structuring joint ventures, managing risks associated with construction defects, and performing due diligence, we have experience advising clients on all aspects of their real estate and construction activities. The depth of our knowledge allows us to assist clients in all areas of the real estate world, whether they are developers, lenders, investors, contractors, landlords, or tenants.

Easement
Land Use and Zoning
For companies considering a move to or expansion in Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, Utah or Washington, state and local incentives can present significant opportunities. But the benefits of tax credits and tax exemptions are tied to complex systems that vary from state to state and even locally. Entering a new business environment also means maneuvering through local real estate and land use laws. And any significant move inevitably calls for good government relations.

Personal Injury
Our litigation attorneys represent manufacturers and distributors of consumer and industrial products in cases involving claims of loss or injury due to claimed defects and are able to manage and try products liability cases, including personal-injury and premises-liability cases, throughout the western U.S. and beyond.
Disability Discrimination
Provide general employment counsel to one of the fastest growing grocery chains in the country for all its operations in Washington, Oregon, and California. Recent challenges have included unionization activity, and disability discrimination, workers’ compensation retaliation, and sick leave discrimination lawsuits.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
An effective estate plan addresses the challenges of family dynamics, technology, and changing tax laws in an efficient and easy to understand way. Estate planning is increasingly complicated as technology, family relationships and tax laws evolve. Assets are unique, families can be untraditional, and the strategies to transfer and protect wealth are as diverse as the lives and interests of our clients. The estate planning process demands attention to detail and navigation of technical nuances in order to achieve family goals.
Wills
Ongoing changes in estate and gift tax laws mean that wills and trust agreements need review and updates to ensure they accomplish the tax planning and distribution goals of our clients.
Trusts
The administration of a probate estate or an irrevocable trust can be complex. We help our clients navigate this process with minimal stress. We handle all aspects of settling estates from preparing and filing pleadings and documents for probate court to marshalling and inventorying estate assets, settling claims, advising on distributions, and preparing estate tax returns and other tax documents. We have experience handling complex, illiquid and regulated assets. We guide our clients through what can be a challenging and emotional process. Our lawyers have decades of experience with helping families through transitions after death.
Power of Attorney
Advised on plan design, documentation and corrections for a plan with assets exceeding $1.5 billion. We also assisted with overseeing plan operations provided by a third-party administrator, reviewed all powers-of-attorney and QDRO’s, and provided fiduciary guidance.
Probate

Bankruptcy
There can be substantial litigation around an out-of-court or bankruptcy restructuring. We vigorously defend clients against lender liability actions, fraudulent conveyance claims and challenges to acquisitions. We bring actions to recover assets and fight preference actions. We also have experience representing both debtors and creditors in valuation disputes. In all cases, you can count on our extraordinary litigation skills, experience in bankruptcy court and understanding of how debtor and creditor issues affect your operations. We’ll work hard to avoid litigation when possible and bring cases to quick resolution aligned with your objectives.
