Appellate Law
There’s nothing finer than a great argument
Few law firms match the experience and expertise of our appellate group. That’s why for two years running, four of our attorneys have been named Best Lawyers in America® in appellate law – more than any other Northwest law firm. They’re part of our deep bench of appellate attorneys, including former Solicitors General for the State of Oregon and attorneys who have been selected to the American Academy of Appellate Lawyers. It’s a team that’s handled over 2,900 appeals before state and federal courts, and civil appeals that include precedent-setting business law, constitutional, and public policy issues.
Our experience and reputation for being well-versed and knowledgeable in public policy and law and for developing and presenting clear and compelling arguments before appellate and supreme courts have made us the “go-to” appellate practice group in the Northwest for business and other civil appeals, particularly where important constitutional and public policy issues are at stake.
