It is my honor to address you as Perkins Coie’s new Managing Partner. I succeed Bob Giles who ably led this firm for nearly 30 years and who will continue to provide advice and counsel as Managing Partner Emeritus.

My priority as Managing Partner will be to ensure that the firm continues to provide the superior client service that has been our hallmark for more than 100 years. All our professionals will continue to be focused on building long-term relationships with our clients, based on thoughtful counsel, innovative solutions, and a deep understanding and mutual commitment to your business objectives. 

Thank you to all our clients for the trust you place in us every day. I look forward to working with you in my new position.
