Miller Nash LLP and Graham & Dunn PC announced today that they are combining to create the 160-attorney firm of Miller Nash Graham & Dunn LLP (MNG&D), effective January 1, 2015. The combined firm will have offices along the West Coast, offering clients expanded services and broadened capabilities.

“Combining our two firms increases our ability to serve the banking, business and public sectors and further enhances our already powerful litigation team—something that both firms have been focused on for a long time,” said Dennis Rawlinson, Partner and Firm Chair of Miller Nash.

MNG&D will become the eighth-largest law firm in the Seattle market, with combined capabilities that are well positioned to serve the area’s expanding business community. The new firm will combine its Seattle offices in the current scenic Graham & Dunn space at Pier 70 on Alaskan Way. The combined firm will continue to have offices in Vancouver, Washington, Portland and Bend, Oregon, and Long Beach, California.

“The combination of our two firms creates an even stronger and more dynamic platform to serve our existing clients and grow in the future,” said Steven Miller, President of Graham & Dunn. “This is a great move for our firms because our cultures and clients are very complementary. We are excited about our future together.”
