Seattle’s best…in Chicago
Christopher Wilson was quoted in Chicago Lawyer in an article addressing the history and growth of the Chicago office of Perkins Coie. Founded in Seattle in 1912, Perkins Coie has leveraged its legacy incorporating, and then representing, The Boeing Co. to now name as clients a wide swathe of today’s highest-tech companies — Amazon, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Intel and more. It has brought what is often described as an open, amenable culture — complete with a “no jerks” rule (well, that’s the G-rated version) — to 20 offices across the country and Asia, now housing more than 900 lawyers.
