Perkins Coie
Perkins Coie LLP (/ˈkuːiː/ KOO-ee) is an American law firm based in Seattle, Washington. Founded in 1912, it is the largest law firm headquartered in the Pacific Northwest, with 21 offices across the United States, Europe, and Asia. The firm provides corporate, commercial litigation, intellectual property, and regulatory legal advice to a broad range of clients, including prominent technology companies such as Google, Microsoft, Intel, Meta, and Amazon. The firm is also known for its pro bono work.
Perkins Coie was founded in 1912 as Donworth and Todd. The firm evolved into its present day firm through the merger of several law practices. Early founding partners included George Donworth and Elmer Todd, Hollister T. Sprague, Frank E. Holman, DeForrest Perkins and J. Paul Coie.
The firm secured Boeing Company as a client in 1916.
In 2024, Perkins Coie's pro bono team successfully secured a grant of asylum for a former Afghan Air Force pilot.
The firm was an early representative of fintech and blockchain interests and has one of the largest law firm blockchain and digital currency practices. Perkins Coie also counsels startups and established tech companies. It launched the Perkins Coie Tech Venture index in 2019, which measures the overall health and trajectory of the emerging growth technology and venture capital ecosystem.
In 2018, Perkins Coie joined the American Bar Association's campaign targeting substance-use disorders and mental health issues among lawyers.
In 2019, the firm became a signatory to the Mansfield Rule, which aims to diversify the leadership of large law firms by broadening the candidate pool for senior management positions.
In March 2024, Perkins Coie announced the closure of its office in Shanghai, China. Later in September, the firm confirmed that it had commenced the process of closing its Beijing office and would shift its strategic focus in China to Shenzhen. However, days later, Loeb & Loeb announced that it would acquire Perkins Coie's IP firm, which was established in 2019 in Shenzhen, as well as Perkins Coie's Beijing team of 17 lawyers.
