Schwabe, Williamson & Wyatt
moving to Vancouvercenter

Schwabe, Williamson & Wyatt is expanding into a 6,137-square-foot office space on the 7th floor of the Vancouvercenter, 700 Washington Street.

The new office space will accommodate seven attorneys, according to Vancouver Schwabe shareholder and spokesperson Lisa Lowe.

“We’re extremely excited about expanding our space in the mixed-use, Class A office space in burgeoning downtown Vancouver,” Lowe said.

The Schwabe firm has 157 attorneys in offices in Portland, Bent, Salem, Seattle, Stevenson, Washington, D.C., and Vancouver. The firm this year was ranked 15th in the Oregon Business Magazine’s 100 Best Companies to Work For, and was recently named one of Oregon’s Most Admired Companies in a survey of Oregon chief executive officers by The Business Journal of Portland.
