Profile
The Northwest’s Premier Trial and Litigation Firm
Gordon Tilden Thomas & Cordell LLP (GTTC) is a distinguished litigation firm located in the iconic One Union Square building in Downtown Seattle. Since our founding in 1996, we have established ourselves as the ”go-to” firm for high-stakes disputes in the Pacific Northwest. Unlike general practice firms, we focus exclusively on litigation, with a team of seasoned trial lawyers who are as comfortable in the courtroom as they are at the negotiating table. We represent businesses, public entities, and individuals in complex legal matters, earning a reputation for creative problem-solving and relentless advocacy.
Our office is situated in the financial heart of Seattle, offering world-class resources and strategic counsel. We believe that the best way to resolve a dispute is to be fully prepared to try it. This ”trial-ready” philosophy puts our clients in the strongest possible position, often leading to favorable settlements without the need for a verdict. If you are looking to order a lawyer who commands respect from the bench and the bar, GTTC is your clear choice.
Specialized Litigation Practice
We handle complex cases across a variety of sectors:
- Business Litigation: Representing companies in contract disputes, partnership breakups, trade secret theft, and real estate conflicts.

- Employment Law: representing executives and professionals in contract negotiations, severance disputes, and discrimination claims.
- Trust and Estate Litigation: resolving high-value disputes over inheritances, fiduciary duties, and family trusts.
