Their ability to understand a client's business and provide practical advice and solutions to real-world questions and problems without running up a bill stands out.

They are doing amazing work and provide solid, actionable legal advice.

Perkins Coie is great at giving practical advice that is not too far in the weeds or too academic in nature such that the advice cannot be effectively used. The lawyers understand the commercial implications of their advice.
