Seyfarth Shaw is looking to build on its “very strong” 2019 financial performance by opening an office in Seattle and increasing its head count further by the end of the year.

Managing partner Peter Miller said the firm hasn’t formally announced a Seattle opening. But the firm already has 14 lawyers and staffers working in the greater Seattle area, according to LinkedIn. That includes a real estate team led by Denice Tokunaga, Miller said.
