Outdoor

Guiding outdoor brands to success with legal excellence and passion.

The outdoor industry is booming. According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, outdoor recreation is a $454 billion industry that is growing faster than the overall U.S. economy.

Growth like that comes with a wealth of opportunities—and challenges—for outdoor brands, retailers, and service providers. Lawyers in our Outdoor industry group counsel, advise, and represent renowned heritage brands, digitally-native brands and everything in between. From angel and venture funding to IPO and beyond, our Outdoor lawyers stand side-by-side with industry leaders to strategize and provide a full range of services—including funding and contracts, intellectual property, labor, litigation, insurance, and many more areas—all to accelerate our clients’ growth and address roadblocks. Our sweet spot? The entire industry.

Lawyers in our Outdoor industry group are passionate about outdoor recreation, personally and professionally. With a national footprint, including offices in Seattle, Denver, Portland, Anchorage, and San Francisco, our team members are located in the most active outdoor industry regions in the country. We are a team of climbers, hikers, mountain bikers, skiers, snowboarders, anglers, runners, and all-around outdoor enthusiasts. As regulars at key outdoor industry events around the globe, including Outdoor Retailer shows, the OIA Capitol Summit and ISPO, we understand industry trends and guide clients’ success.

From iconic brands to emerging industry leaders, we are proud and privileged to serve numerous clients in the outdoor industry, including REI, Columbia Sportswear, Helly Hansen, Patagonia, Hydro Flask, evo, Outdoor Research, Backcountry.com, adidas, Brooks Sports, Danner, LaCrosse Footwear, MidwayUSA, Inc., Simms Fishing Products, Heroclip, OluKai, LOGE Camps, and Wagner Custom Skis.
