Learn More

Since 1985, Davis Grimm Payne & Marra has advocated and advised employers in labor and employment law matters throughout the Pacific Northwest.

Labor issues require a strategic response. It is not enough to know the law. Businesses need someone that finds solutions to their everyday challenges. Our clients come to us to solve difficult problems that often require a different approach.

We have negotiated labor agreements with every major union in the Pacific Northwest. We know the players and we know their strategies.

Employment laws are ever-changing. This is even more true now than ever before. To keep up, companies need someone that understands the law, and knows their industry.

We don’t back down from challenges facing our clients. We believe in assertive, ethical & practical solutions to our client’s real world labor & employment needs.
