White & Lee in The Oregonian

Steve Woodward, an Oregonian staff writer, interviewed White & Lee partner William H. Caffee as the White & Lee Portland office was moving from downtown Portland's World Trade Center to the "ultra-wired, techno-hip Fox Tower." In the article, Woodward writes, "Start-up companies are turning to White & Lee and other law firms, looking for a set of skills that go beyond traditional corporate law: corporate finance for raising money, securities law for going public, intellectual property for defending tademarks and patents, and executive compensation for setting up stock option plans. They're also looking for advisers with connections to venture capital, with business acumen and the ability to execute at Internet speed." One of six attorneys hired from Portland's Dunn Carney Allen Higgins & Tongue to staff White & Lee's new office, Caffee says the office has been "just swamped ever since we got here." While acknowledging the presence of a handful of full-service law firms in Portland, Caffee tells Woodward that he is "counting on his firm's laser focus on start-ups and its Silicon Valley sheen to bring clients through the door."

Lee notes that one of the benefits of small law firms is that they "can be more welcoming of infant companies - sometimes even those with just the germ of an idea. Big firms often require that the company is already funded and has management in place."
