A history of success. A focus on the future.

Not many organizations can state they have been around for more than a century.  For over 129 years, Witherspoon Kelley has served clients throughout the Pacific Northwest and we believe our business philosophy has something to do with it. We put our clients’ success first and we do everything in our power to help them achieve their goals. 

Throughout our lengthy history, we have focused on attracting and developing the top legal talent in the region. We foster a collaborative culture where attorneys work together to solve issues and, using combined business and legal knowledge, provide deep expertise.  Our clients tell us that our attorneys become valuable members of their own teams - to us, that is the heart of a strong relationship.  Your goals become our goals.  Our team becomes your team. 

Strategic Advisors

No two clients have the same needs. For this reason, we take an individualized approach with each client.  Witherspoon Kelley has carefully developed seventeen practice areas.  From the corporate boardroom to the courtroom, we have a breadth of legal and business skills on which our clients can rely.  We are committed to always staying one step ahead in the ever-changing legal landscape.  This translates into valuable insight that we provide to our clients.

A Legacy of Wisdom

Witherspoon Kelley traces its roots to 1884 and has been an integral part of the Pacific Northwest legal and business communities since that date.  We helped craft Washington State’s Constitution, and have partnered with leading regional companies, organizations and entrepreneurs as the region has grown and developed.  Throughout our history, we have been committed to community service.  Today, our attorneys serve on the boards of a wide variety of civic and charitable organizations. We work together to help ensure that our Northwest communities will continue to thrive for decades to come.

Passionate Advocates

We have been told we are aggressive.  Our clients should expect no less.  Attorneys at Witherspoon Kelley have a singular focus on achieving results and navigating challenges for clients both in and out of the courtroom. More than just a business philosophy, this is a personal ethic we all share. Our focus on their legal issues means our clients can focus on even more significant matters: their businesses.
