Company Profile

Company Overview

Phillips Burgess, one of the fastest-growing law firms in Southwest Washington. Our firm focuses exclusively on real estate, land use, and environmental law, enabling us to provide clients with the depth of knowledge and experience in these practice areas normally found only in the largest regional firms. We offer a competitive salary, a collegial work environment, and genuine opportunities for professional growth.

Here is what our employees have to say....

“One of the best things about working here is the fact that we concentrate on real estate, land use and environmental law and that we have litigation and transactional attorneys in those fields. I also like the fact that the firm requires marketing and community involvement, but also credits us for our time spent on those things and supports us in those endeavors.”

“I would have to say that one of the best things about working here is that everyone is incredibly kind and easy to talk to. I have never had a job before where I felt so welcomed by all members of the staff. I really appreciate everyone’s amicability!”

“The people! There is a feeling of cooperation and comradery that starts at the top – no stepping on others to climb the ladder of success. I know if I need something, I can ask anyone and they will stop to help me.”

“For me the best things about working here are the people and the variety of work I get to do. I love working with creative and motivated people who are really smart and good at what they do. I also am the kind of person that would get bored easily with the same job every day, so the variety of tasks, while sometimes crazy, keeps me on my toes and my brain engaged.”

“I find my work interesting. I enjoy all of my coworkers, and the general atmosphere provides the most positive and friendly environment I’ve had the pleasure to work in.”
