Washington's Business Law Firm SM
Businesses frequently require representation for tax and other matters subject to regulatory agencies. Our regulatory practice group represents leading small, medium, and large-sized businesses before state and federal regulatory and enforcement agencies, including those governing labor law; federal, state, and local taxation; and land use and zoning issues. Our international practice serves foreign investors seeking to conduct business in the US, as well as assisting US businesses needing legal counsel in other countries.
Our business and commercial transactions group provides customized, individually-tailored counsel and representation focused on achieving transactional goals and minimizing risk. By investing the time to learn about client businesses, we can provide proactive business counsel and legal transaction strategies designed to further long-term business objectives.
Business disputes have the potential to become costly; not only in terms of legal fees, but also in terms of precious management time and internal disruption. When disputes arise, most businesses want a favorable resolution quickly, not protracted litigation and trial. We seek to advance client positions early and position their cases for a favorable resolution. If a favorable resolution is not forthcoming, we aggressively pursue litigation with the goal of obtaining a full and complete win for our clients.
We represent property owners, developers, general contractors, subcontractors, and others in connection with transactional matters (such as purchase and sale agreements), matters impacting property interests (such as liens and easements), and property disputes (including breach of contract and boundary disputes).
We represent businesses in transactions involving state and federal tax matters, including mergers, acquisitions, and restructurings, in tax disputes involving the IRS and the Department of Revenue, and in providing advice concerning tax issues that arise in business operations. Additionally, we help clients by identifying favorable tax treatment opportunities in all aspects of their business.

What Our Clients Say
I have been a client of Mark Kimball for twenty years. I have used Mark for numerous commercial business purposes & litigation, early stage startup companies requiring securities documents for outside investment and one matter involving a business dispute and commercial transaction in Beijing, China. Mark is extremely bright and always has a good understanding of the legal issues presented and importantly, the solutions. Lastly, he is very fair with his billing. Mark gets my highest recommendation.Having been married to a judge, I know how important it is to find the right attorney for a case. I chose Mark Kimball because his ratings and reviews were consistently higher overall than any other attorney in the Seattle/Bellevue area. Mark Kimball has been working on my behalf for over a year now and I am extremely impressed with his expertise, his knowledge and his ability to quickly ascertain a situation and address it. I did have a consultation with MDK when the case began and was given an honest opinion of what the case would entail, the possible legal fees if I moved forward and the time frame. Mark Kimball has been on target on every single issue. If you want an amazing attorney that you can trust and you know is truly working on your behalf I highly suggest you hire Mark D. Kimball.
