I have more than 30 years of experience advising, litigating and advocating on behalf of large, mid-range and small companies, including start-ups, as well as corporate executives and other individuals. I am committed to cost effective, results-driven advice and advocacy. I try and help my clients avoid and fix problems before they spin out of control and if they are in disputes, to manage those disputes to the best conclusion. In negotiation and litigation, my approach is to identify each client’s leverage and use it for maximum impact.

Personal
I grew up on the Connecticut coast in a small town called Madison. My mother gave me a lifelong love of mountains and skiing. My father was a lawyer on Wall Street and I followed in his footsteps. In 1984, I moved to Seattle. Three National Parks within a day’s drive felt like paradise to me and still does.
I am lucky to be married to a great person and Ruth and I will celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary in 2017. We have two grown kids, a son and daughter.
I have a commitment to hunger relief. My involvement with Food Lifeline has informed me on the complexity of poverty and economic insecurity and showed me that people of all political philosophies can come together for common good.
I love to hike and ski, both in the resorts and ski mountaineering. Most of all, I love what I do. Helping people and businesses by practicing law, most recently for 17 years with my business partner Jeff, continues to be the most rewarding and fulfilling thing I do. I’d be honored to help you too.

Chris has been a value counselor on several difficult issues we've faced over the years. I highly recommend Chris for all your legal needs.

I've consulted with Chris for the last several years, and am continually impressed with his knowledge, experience and professionalism. He sees the "big picture" and advises accordingly.

I hired Mr Mason for a wage claim. I was very satisfied and felt he was extremely knowledgeable. Following his recommendations, we came to an acceptable agreement.

Chris was very helpful with our case. He was supportive of us but he was also exhorting when we needed to get some things done in a timely manner. I can't imagine our experience being any better.

Chris has been a valuable consul to me for years. I have used his services on a wide variety of issues for the three businesses I own. He uses a common sense approach to solve potential issues before they become problems.
"I first met Chris when he was opposing counsel in a litigation matter. Chris was able to obtain an extremely favorable result for his client. I was impressed with his command of the law as well as his professionalism. In fact, I hired Chris to represent both our firm and myself individually in two separate matters. Again, Chris' focus and work ethic led to favorable results. I hignly endorse this lawyer."
"I have known Chris Mason professionally since 1988. Chris and I practiced together in an insurance defense firm for three years, and later in our own firm, Pope and Mason, from 1992-1995. Chris is an intelligent, agressive and ethical attorney who is known for his expertise in commercial, business, and employment law. He represents national, regional and local companies, entrepeneurs, and business executives. He is an excellent litigator and negotiator. He knows the law and how to identify and use leverage to his client's maximum benefit. I have referred numerous clients to Chris and all received excellent advice, representation, and outstanding results. I would not hesitate to recommend Chris Mason to anyone needing a commercial, business, or employment attorney. He is simply one of the finest attorneys in Seattle. Daniel B. Pope, P.S.
