Founded on January 1, 2012, the law firm of Phillips Wesch Burgess focuses on all matters real estate.
The firm’s attorneys pride themselves on providing clients with comprehensive care ‘from the ground up.’ By facilitating the entire process—land use, construction, zoning, environmental compliance, and insurance coverage—clients are guaranteed smooth development from start to finish.
Their beautiful Olympia office is tucked between the Port of Olympia and the Olympia Farmer’s Market, showcasing waterfront views from its convenient central location. Though a new firm—albeit one with decades of individual experience—Phillips Wesch Burgess is a home team with local roots; three of their attorneys live in Olympia, one in Steilacoom, and one in Tacoma.
They handle matters state-wide that fall within their purview and recently expanded into a new Tacoma office as well. The firm’s clients include a wide range of businesses from across Puget Sound, including Seattle Shellfish, Kaufman Brothers Construction & Development, the Olympia Yacht Club, the Olympia Master Builders, the Thurston County Chamber of Commerce, Scarsella Brothers Construction, and Puget Western Inc.
The firm’s attorneys participate in a number of national and local professional associations and business groups, the Thurston County Economic Development Council, the West Olympia Business Association, the Olympia Downtown Association, the Olympia Master Builders, NAIOP (the Commercial Real Estate Association), and the Association of Washington Business.
David Schaffert, President and CEO of the Thurston County Chamber of Commerce praises Phillips Wesch Burgess. “They’re ahead of the curve on emerging issues. Their leadership strengthens the health of our communities,” he says.
On a more personal side, PWB attorneys and staff volunteer with local groups including the Housing Justice Project, Boys & Girls Clubs of Thurston County, the YWCA of Pierce County, Providence St. Peter’s Hospital Foundation, local Rotary Clubs, Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance, and the Washington Center for the Performing Arts.
Despite the firm’s relative youth, they chair, host, and sponsor many regional events, both professional and recreational. Their members even coach youth soccer and participate in horsemanship and equestrian rescue causes.
Phillips Wesch Burgess offers businesses, organizations, and individuals “a rare combination of large firm experience and small firm personal service” in all matters real estate and land use. Retail, commercial, and residential projects across the region are their expertise and yet a deep grounding in Olympia soil keeps them approachable and community-based. They strive to make a difference in our community on personal and professional fronts, and aim to maintain a true partnership with our rapidly growing region for years to come.
