About the Firm
Davis Wright Tremaine LLP was founded in Seattle in 1908 on a simple guiding principle: to provide clients with quality legal services in a manner that would exceed their expectations. This principle has remained intact for decades as the Seattle office continued to grow and as we began to expand our reach across the nation. By the end of the 1980s, DWT had well-established offices in Anchorage, Bellevue (Wash.), Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington, D.C.
In 1990, we ushered in the new decade by merging with the well-known Portland, Oregon law firm of Ragen, Tremaine, Krieger, Schmeer & Neill, and embarked on a program of geographic expansion nationally and internationally. We became the first U.S. law firm authorized to establish an office in Shanghai, China, and joined with a highly regarded communications law firm to establish a New York City office. In the early 1990s, we joined Lex Mundi, the world's leading association of prominent independent law firms in 155 countries, states and provinces, further assuring our clients global access to quality legal services. DWT is also a member of the Pacific Rim Advisory Council (PRAC), a unique strategic alliance of 30 top tier independent law firms that serve the legal needs of major international companies across the Pacific Rim. Today, DWT has more than 480 attorneys in offices across the United States and in China.
