Perkins Coie

Perkins Coie

Perkins Coie is an international law firm headquartered in Seattle, Washington, founded in 1912. The firm employs approximately 1,200 lawyers across more than 20 offices in the United States and Asia. It is not an investment firm, asset manager, or family office, and does not deploy capital on behalf of external investors. The firm generates revenue through legal services, including corporate law, intellectual property, litigation, and regulatory practices. It does not participate in fund commitments, direct investments, co-investments, or club deals. Perkins Coie has no disclosed assets under management or deployment numbers, because it is a law partnership — its clients include technology companies, financial institutions, and government entities, not limited partners. Perkins Coie maintains multiple offices in key technology hubs, including Menlo Park, Mountain View, and San Francisco in California, alongside its Seattle headquarters. These offices serve the firm's established technology and venture capital client base, with practices covering emerging companies, venture financing, and intellectual property. The firm is known for representing Amazon, Google, and other major technology platforms in high-stakes regulatory and litigation matters. Unlike family offices and asset managers profiled by Altss, Perkins Coie's structure is a professional services partnership with no capital allocation mandate. Its relationships with start-ups and venture funds are advisory, not investment-oriented. The firm does not maintain affiliated philanthropic foundations, investment arms, or operating companies that deploy investable capital.
