  • Excellent oral and written communication skills and interpersonal skills.
  • Ability to manage multiple projects and work successfully within a team through communication and appropriate delegation and supervision.
  • Experience exercising business and professional judgment, understanding client goals, and developing practical solutions to meet those goals.
  • Demonstrated commitment to client service.
  • Evident engagement in business development and civic and professional organizations.
  • JD from an accredited university and active membership in or commitment to applying to the Oregon or Washington State Bar.

We offer a variety of training programs and retreats addressing practice area topics and skills at all levels, as well as legal and professional skills generally.
