About Paul
Biography
My practice involves complex civil cases. The subjects vary, including Antitrust, Consumer and Employment Class Actions, environmental enforcement, unfair competition, and substantial contract disputes. In all cases, I bring judgment and analysis with complete focus on advancing the client's interests. Sometimes this has involved lengthy trials or accelerated motions for injunctive relief. But in most cases, matters are resolved by identifying the key legal issues and obtaining the client's goal through pretrial motions or settlement. While I am relentlessly interested in the legal issues, I am just as focused on counseling clients in a coordinated effort to resolve the problem presented.
I have litigated cases in state and federal court in Washington, Idaho, Oregon, California, Colorado, Kansas, and Arizona, and have represented clients in arbitrations before the International Chamber of Commerce and American Arbitration Association. I have argued cases in the Washington Supreme Court, Washington Court of Appeals, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and the Federal Circuit.
