About Our Firm

Bullivant Houser Bailey PC is a law firm of more than 160 attorneys with six offices on the West Coast. Founded in 1938, the firm maintains offices in Portland, Oregon; Seattle and Vancouver, Washington; Sacramento and San Francisco, California; and Las Vegas, Nevada.

Chambers USA "America's Leading Lawyers for Business" singled out Bullivant as a “West Coast litigation powerhouse,” due to our extensive courtroom experience and ability to achieve early, favorable, and cost-effective results on behalf of clients, ranging from small businesses to Fortune 100 corporations. In addition to commercial litigation, the firm also excels in a wide range of domestic and international business transactions, including corporate finance and securities, public and private offerings, Exchange Act reporting and SEC compliance, formation and governance, mergers and acquisitions, taxation, real estate, franchising, creditor’s rights, bankruptcy, estate planning, and intellectual property including patent prosecution. We maintain a reputation as a nationally-recognized expert on products liability counseling and litigation, as well as complex insurance coverage and defense work.

At Bullivant, delivering exceptional service to all clients is among our highest priorities. When it comes to our clients, we want to know their business and understand their goals. To achieve this objective, we use a collaborative team approach. A diverse team of lawyers and professionals, with the necessary level of experience to handle each situation, staffs virtually every matter. We do not overstaff matters, and clients often find our team approach favorable and cost-effective. The firm trains all of our attorneys and professionals on the principles of exceptional client service through best practices workshops offered throughout the year.

Bullivant attorneys are from top law schools across the nation and have impressive academic credentials. Many of our attorneys also have prior work experience and graduate degrees outside the legal field that benefit our clients by providing a unique perspective to their challenges. What brought these attorneys to our firm and what keeps them here is Bullivant's commitment to providing top-notch client service in a collegial, diverse environment.  MultiCultural Law Magazine named Bullivant as one of the "Top 100 Law Firms for Diversity" and one of the "Top 100 Law Firms for Women."  Outside of the office, we support our attorneys and professionals who are involved in community organizations and civic projects they are passionate about. These activities include leadership positions in charitable and professional organizations as well as pro bono projects and activities.
