Ask HN: Who are some good tech lawyers in Seattle area?

[similion]

I'm planning on moving to the Seattle area and would like to retain a good technology lawyer. The first job they would probably do is review the employer agreement (non-competes, IP, copyright, etc) - especially for companies who do everything under the sun. Later on, they could help me when creating a startup.

Does anyone here have any recommendations or experiences with any of them? Are there any ones I should avoid?

Check out Orrick law offices in Seattle. Ours was base in Silicon Valley but we dealt with a partner from the Seattle division during M&A talks.

Any secondary recommendations in case Orrick has a conflict of interest?

Sorry I am not familiar enough with the legal teams in Seattle outside of this one point of reference. However if there is a conflict, you could ask Orrick for their advice on who they recommend
