About Portland, Oregon

The sophistication of the legal practice in Portland rivals that of larger cities. Many of our attorneys relocated to Portland after beginning their careers at prominent firms in larger cities, including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, and Washington, DC.

Portland is widely recognized as one of America's most livable cities. With approximately 1.95 million residents in the metropolitan area, Portland offers a wide variety of cultural and recreational activities and conveniences while retaining the friendly personality of a smaller community. Many of our attorneys enjoy such activities as hiking, biking, skiing, snowboarding, fishing, camping, and surfing, all within a short drive of the city. Ball Janik LLP is committed to providing each of its lawyers with an opportunity to pursue a challenging legal career reasonably balanced with outside personal, family, and community interests. Ball Janik recognizes the need for this balance and strives to accommodate the lifestyles of both partners and non-partners within the work environment.

The Portland office has 22 partners, 2 senior of counsel, 3 special counsel, 19 associates, and 2 lawyers who are of counsel. In addition, we have 1 non-attorney government affairs professional. The partners in the firm have distinguished academic records and extensive professional, political and community involvement and each is a respected member of the legal community.
