Fueling Change

Our clients are working to innovate and respond to a changing marketplace. We implemented a strategic plan to change the way we serve clients. 

Rather than offering traditional legal practice areas, we intently focus on six industries key to the Pacific Northwest economy: Manufacturing, Distribution and Retail; Natural Resources; Real Estate and Construction; Transportation, Ports and Maritime; Technology; and Healthcare. 

This fundamental shift was the result of a collaborative, multi-year conversation with clients, colleagues and the community that led to the implementation of our strategic plan. This strategic work also led to the selection of a new CEO, Graciela Gomez Cowger, who possesses the key skills necessary to lead Schwabe successfully in fulfilling our commitment to our clients and ourselves. 

We are proud to celebrate the clients and industry innovations featured here.
