McCullough Hill PLLC

We understand that for our clients, less is always more.

Most clients have endured an over-charge/under-perform experience on a project. We offer a different approach. Our clients are sophisticated and prize speed, predictability, cost-control and success in the business and development process. This is what we deliver. Our belief is that lawyers are not well-suited to be project managers - so we do not try to be. Nor do we subscribe to the theory (embraced in some legal circles) that eight lawyers are better than one. Instead, we find the role within the client's project team where we can add value, and there we seek to excel. We tailor the scope of our engagement to the project's needs, and offer our clients thoughtful advice, based on our decades of experience with Washington law and our familiarity with those who apply and enforce it.
Client relationships matter.
By minimizing our charges and maximizing our results, we have established long-term relationships with the clients we serve. We have represented a core group of our clients for years, some for over four decades:

The largest school district in Washington State
The nation's most prominent cancer research institution
The largest corporation in the United States
The firm that is Washington's largest privately-held company
The largest owner of office space in the United States

Invoices should be simple.

You will not see billing entries from lawyers you've never met or for work you never asked for. And our bills do not include charges for faxes, photocopies, telephone calls, word-processing, postage or other hidden "profit center" costs, now so much the rage. We expect you to pay for our services, and for the costs you ask us to incur ? nothing more.
Innovation is the key to our success.

Much of today's legal marketplace offers a commodity practice of one sort or another - lawyers making legal widgets for their clients just the way they were taught 30 years ago. But innovation can reveal the undiscovered routes to our clients' goals, and we are always looking to innovate in our effort to create client value.
What do you want to achieve?

Many lawyers mistake the cataloging of risk for good advice. It is what they learned in school and from their mentors. They set about the expensive task of identifying all conceivable risks - whether they are likely to arise or not - and devising all imaginable solutions - whether they will ever be needed or not. But for our clients, risk is simply part of the equation that can produce reward. So for us, understanding actual risk is the point at which legal counsel begins. Our counsel is designed to bring value to the client, by mitigating or avoiding risk, reducing costs and redundancies, preparing contingency plans, and ultimately helping the client solve the reward equation.
We start by asking our clients a simple question: what do you want to achieve? Getting there, on time and at a reasonable price, is creating value for the client. It is what we do.
