“We have such a large range of practice areas; it never gets boring around here. There is always something interesting going on either with the appellate team, supporting cool new startups in the business department or learning about policy down in Olympia. It feels great to work for a company that continues to invest in its employees. Plus, we have a lot of fun in between, like taking cooking classes!”
