Our firm is headquartered in Anchorage and has a prestigious reputation for quality services. Our Washington, D.C. office, has established a sterling reputation in its own right, especially for the strong ties it has forged with the Alaska Congressional delegation and the House and Senate committees responsible for matters of particular interest to Alaska. Both offices, however, provide a full range of services to clients in their respective regions.

Members of our firm are some of the nation's top attorneys and include former senior Congressional and federal executive branch officials, district attorneys, assistant attorneys general, judicial clerks, practiced engineers, business executives and outstanding recent law school graduates. Interdisciplinary teams of seasoned litigators, corporate attorneys, and agency and legislative specialists can easily be assembled to provide the right blend of creativity, skill and experience to achieve our clients’ goals effectively and efficiently.

However, when a matter must be litigated, we provide aggressive and effective representation. We have an outstanding record in the prosecution and defense of a variety of complex, multi-party, multi-million dollar cases.
