We have built our reputation through a forward-focused perspective; exceptional legal counsel; a commitment to client service; a proactive, collegial approach; and a dedication to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in the firm and in society as a whole.
We make it our mission to find the right people and invest in their growth through meaningful work, strong mentorship, and a path to career advancement. We also seek to build a team that is reflective of our clients and our communities.
Collegiality is a way of life at Perkins Coie. We recruit people who care about people—and naturally support each other. We also staff lean teams that build strong relationships and encourage consistent collaboration across practices. Our success is evidenced by our many national, state, and regional awards recognizing Perkins Coie as a great place to work.
