Davis Wright Tremaine LLP

In many ways, we look a lot like most other AmLaw 100 firms. We have smart, well-trained lawyers. We care about our clients and want them to succeed. We can offer niche expertise or deep teams, depending on the nature of your legal needs. Indeed, we "represent clients from start-ups to Fortune 100 companies on the full range of…" (see pretty much every other AmLaw100 firm website).

But you probably came to this page because you want to know what makes us different. The main thing is, we know that great clients and colleagues have lots of options, and we want to be an easy and obvious choice for them. So we’re open to looking for ways to meet their needs, as opposed to finding reasons we can’t. If you are a prospective client or colleague, we won’t take you for granted or forget who works for whom. We’re a place dedicated to your success.

We’re open to solving legal questions in ways that work for your particular business needs, or corporate culture, or organizational imperatives. We’re open to serving you in ways that meet your budget, or integrate best with your team, or just give you more peace of mind.

We’re on a straight retainer with one of our largest clients, with no billable hours. We built our own staffing agency so we could offer the flexibility and cost savings of contract professionals but maintain control over quality, service standards and client integration. We won national innovation awards three years running, based on developing new and better ways of serving clients. And then we quit competing for those awards, so we could just focus on our clients.
