Smith Freed Eberhard

At Smith Freed Eberhard, we go beyond the practice of law – we redefine legal excellence with our expertise in civil defense. Proudly serving Oregon since 1987 and Washington for over a decade, we believe that every team member plays a crucial role in our success! By fostering a collaborative environment that values respect for all seniority levels and backgrounds, we deliver favorable outcomes to our clients. We encourage our Associates to grow by offering a variety of development opportunities, such as our Black Belt Trial Advocacy program, CLEs, and Lunch & Learns – through both active participation and the opportunities to present. We provide competitive and rewarding incentive programs, which we review and strive to enhance each year. We enjoy spending time together throughout the year, including in-house happy hours, family BBQs, staff outings, retreats, holiday parties, and fun, spontaneous competitions. (Our Portland office boasts a billiard room, while our Seattle office features a large community room!) We prioritize the health and well-being of our employees by providing firm-paid benefits, including health, life, dental, and vision insurance, along with parking and mass transit contributions. We also offer voluntary benefits such as additional life insurance, short- and long-term disability insurance, pet insurance, Health Savings Accounts (HSA), and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA). Additionally, we offer our staff eight paid holidays each year and flexible time off to support work-life balance. We take pride in giving back to our community through fundraising for an annual charity. In 2024, we raised over $10,000 for our charity of the year, the Cat Adoption Team! At Smith Freed Eberhard, it’s more than just a job—it’s a community of people who thrive on working and succeeding together. Come be a part of it!
