History
editThe firm began in 1873 as Northup & Gilbert, started by William B. Gilbert and Henry H. Northup.[1][2] In 1876, former governor A. C. Gibbs joins the firm, but leaves the following year.[2] John M. Gearin joined in 1884 before later serving in Congress.[2] Later partners include Wallace McCamant, W. Lair Thompson, and Ralph King, among others. In 1970, the firm moved into what is now the Standard Insurance Center, and the names Miller and Nash first appeared in the firm name.[2] The firm moved into the U.S. Bancorp Tower in 1983.[2] In 1985, the firm opened an office in Seattle.[3]
The Miller Nash moniker was adopted in 1999.[2] The current iteration of the firm came about from the merger of Portland-based Miller Nash and Seattle-based Graham & Dunn announced in 2014.[3][4] The merger was completed on January 2, 2015.[5]
In Fall 2023, the firm's Seattle office moved from its Pier 70 location to 605 S Union Station in the Chinatown-International District (CID). In March 2024, the firm's Portland office relocated from the U.S. Bancorp tower into the new 11W building at SW 11th Avenue and SW Washington Street. In the same year, the firm opened a new office in Boise, Idaho[6]
Miller Nash received some criticism for representing whalers in 2012 who had been involved in incidents with the Sea Shepherd.[7]
