We are Lasher, your Pacific Northwest Law Firm – here’s to the next 50 years of trusted legal counsel and partnership.

The Past

Lasher was founded in 1973 by Earl Lasher, Jeff Brotman, and Mike Sweet. After a merger in 1975, the firm became Lasher Johnson & Sweet, and in 1989, the name changed to Lasher Holzapfel Sperry & Ebberson to recognize the attorneys who had been with the firm in its early days. Today, Lasher is proud to be the only firm of its size in Washington state having women as two of its four named partners.

Over the years, we have grown, welcomed new partners, and — like many firms — eventually outgrew our old letterhead. Today, we embrace a streamlined identity — Lasher — reflecting both our history and our future.

From inception, Lasher has served as general counsel to privately held businesses, corporate leaders, and entrepreneurs, offering both business and litigation services. Our legal team supports clients in the areas they most often need: business, corporate, and tax law; commercial litigation and dispute resolution; real estate; employment law; bankruptcy and creditor’s rights; trusts and estate planning; probate; and family law.

The Present

Over the past 50 years, Lasher has grown with intention, expanding our capabilities while holding to our core values. We are a people-oriented firm that emphasizes personal service for our clients and their families, while fostering a collaborative, supportive environment for our team. We believe that excellence in legal practice is synonymous with personal fulfillment. Our culture encourages balance, allowing attorneys and staff to thrive both professionally and personally. Many of our lawyers have built their entire careers here — a testament to the strength of our community, culture, and shared mission. Today, we are proud to be home to over 40 attorneys, all dedicated professionals who bring skill, integrity, and enthusiasm to every matter. Each day we are inspired by the opportunity to work with one another and to serve our dynamic and inspiring clients.

The Future

From its earliest days, Lasher has been a progressive firm — a legacy reflected in part by the significant number of women owners and attorneys. That forward-thinking spirit continues to guide us as we look to the future. As we enter the next 50 years, we embrace innovation and adapt to evolving technologies to help ensure our services remain efficient, effective, and relevant in a rapidly changing world. Having successfully navigated the challenges of a global pandemic with our culture and mission intact, we continue to move forward with renewed appreciation for what makes Lasher unique: our resilience, our progressive culture, and our willingness to embrace change. We remain deeply committed to what has always defined us — delivering exceptional legal service, growing our firm in diverse and creative ways, hiring from our region’s law schools, and supporting the communities we call home. We are proud to be a steadfast presence in the Pacific Northwest legal landscape and are excited for what lies ahead.

Most attorneys start with telling you what they think; we start by listening to what you need. We take what we hear and use it to create a plan designed to achieve your goals.

Mario Bianchi was my lawyer and advocate for over 5 years. Through a multitude of business situations, Mario’s guidance, counsel and assistance was critical. Many times he counseled patience and letter writing rather than legal action. He welcomed my input to our corporate input, which led to a strengthened legal position. He also communicated strength and stability as our counsel. If you face a complicated business litigation position, and want a lawyer who has a deep understanding of how these situations play out, Mario is an excellent choice.

Not only was Linda [Ebberson] the consummate professional in every aspect of our attorney/client relationship, she was also an empathetic listener and my empowering champion during my very difficult and complex divorce proceedings. You will not find a more poised and confident individual than Linda. She “dials in” to her clients from the first minute of the first meeting, and then she continues to go “above and beyond” to benefit her clients. She is a fabulous attorney with the integrity and energy to lead you down the road to a successful outcome. If there was a way to give her a “SIX” star rating, I most certainly would do so.

Andrew [Goodrich] has worked with our companies for a few years in a variety of legal practice areas. He is always prepared, very well-organized, and has served our needs in various stressful situations with his experience and legal counsel. We have been so pleased to have him as a member of our legal team and we are grateful to continue to work with him.

Darin has a unique skill set for a business attorney. He understands both accounting and business concepts well and is able to analyze transactions from both perspectives, a true benefit for his clients.
