Since 1984, Simburg, Ketter, Sheppard & Purdy, LLP has provided high quality, personalized business legal services from the Pacific Northwest, emphasizing domestic and international business litigation and transactions. We have focused our core competencies on the legal representation of “creative enterprises” – entities and individual entrepreneurs organizing businesses around intellectual capital. More than a typical “IP firm” – we combine intellectual property knowledge with business and dispute resolution skills to create an integrated client representation, including a strong civil litigation practice. With experience in cross-border licensing, contract manufacturing and joint venture projects, we understand matters involving different cultures and different legal systems. Our firm is a member of the International Business Law Consortium. In addition to our licensing and technology-related services, we represent clients in real estate transactions, estate planning, probate and tax. Our approach includes learning the business needs of our clients and their enterprises. Our attorneys provide hands-on attention, delivering advice based on real world experience that addresses the practical as well as legal issues. Our attorneys and staff donate substantial time and effort to a variety of nonprofit organizations. We are proud to be good citizens as well as good lawyers.
