Located in one of the nation’s leading markets for innovation, our Seattle office combines dynamic, forward thinking with deep historical roots.

Having joined forces in 2025 with the highly regarded regional firm Lane Powell, Seattle represents one of Ballard Spahr’s largest offices, with skilled attorneys leading practices in commercial litigation, private client services, labor and employment, health care, and transportation. Longstanding client relationships in Asia solidify our position as a gateway to and from the Pacific Rim.

Our Commercial Litigation work serves clients in the financial, construction, health care, transportation, and retail industries across trials and appeals in state and federal courts, administrative proceedings, arbitrations, and mediations.

With extensive experience providing counsel to high net worth individuals and families, we guide clients through the full range of estate and gift planning, estate administration, governance and transition planning, and dispute resolution matters. Our Private Client Services practice has been nationally recognized by Chambers as one of only two top-ranked Band One teams in Washington, and maintains the largest roster of individually ranked attorneys in the state.
