Graham & Dunn PC
Seattle business and franchise law

We are one of the nation’s first full-service law firms to organize and operate through integrated industry teams.  We have replaced the conventional law firm structure, where attorneys are grouped by the type of law they practice, with teams organized to address the specific needs of the industries they serve.  Each “industry team” at Graham & Dunn includes an array of both litigation and transactional practitioners grouped together for one reason:  because knowledge of our clients’ industry allows us to provide the best service at the best value.  We still provide the litigation and transactional expertise that the traditional model was built upon, but our industry focus allows us to do it more creatively, efficiently and effectively.
