📸 We recently had the pleasure of hosting a summer mixer for more than 100 alumni of our Washington offices at the Russell Investments Building—the future home of our Seattle office. The evening was filled with vibrant discussions among both longtime and new friends, complemented by delicious refreshments and breathtaking views of the Puget Sound. Alumni and guests also had the chance to explore our future office space and view plans for its development. Our Seattle office is scheduled to move to the iconic modern office building in mid-2025. Many thanks to all who joined us; it was a fun time getting to reconnect. We eagerly anticipate our next alumni event and hope to see those who couldn't attend this time. "Our alumni are a vital part of our firm's history and success, and we are grateful for their continued support." —James F. Williams, Seattle Office Managing Partner. 📸 Photo Credit: Viavoya Visual Media #PerkinsCoieAlumni #PerkinsCoieSeattle #PerkinsCoieBellevue #PerkinsCoie

⚖️ A Perkins Coie litigation team scored a big win for Albertsons and Safeway in the Washington Court of Appeals last week. The plaintiff brought a class action alleging that Safeway (owned by Albertsons) improperly charged sales tax on beverages. Our team filed a motion to dismiss, arguing that the claims must go through the Washington Department of Revenue, rather than be litigated against retailers in a class action. The trial judge granted our motion, which the plaintiff immediately appealed. Last week, in a unanimous 3-0 decision, the Washington Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court. The order is a decisive win for Albertsons and all retailers, limiting their financial exposure and litigation risk from tax-related class actions. The team was led by James F. Williams, David Perez, Mallory Gitt Webster, and Reina Almon-Griffin (she/her). Mallory argued the motion to dismiss, and David argued the case in the Court of Appeals. #Litigation #AppellateLaw #ClassAction #ClassActionLitigation
