For more than 140 years, we have earned recognition as one of the foremost law firms in the Pacific Northwest. Many of our attorneys are nationally recognized leaders in their fields and some are regarded as among the nation’s brightest legal minds. They are active in legislative committees, bar and trade associations, and similar organizations where they play key roles in formulating proposed laws.
Lane Powell is known for shaping the law.
- In the nation’s courts and legislative bodies from the local to the federal level, our attorneys influence statutes and judicial rulings that govern the people of American society.
- Emerging areas of law — sustainability, climate change, corporate responsibility — are important at Lane Powell, and our attorneys are active in defining how those laws will operate.
Yet we are also known as a close and friendly law firm. Our culture is based on mutual respect both within our walls and in the communities in which we reside. We take pride in being strongly rooted in the Pacific Northwest and have played a key role in forming, preserving and advancing this region. Community involvement and pro bono work are encouraged.
