Carney Badley Spellman, P.S.

Established in the heart of Seattle, Washington, we at Carney Badley Spellman, PS, have been serving clients locally since 1972. Widely representing startups, Fortune 500 companies and public agencies, we provide legal services in matters of business litigation, corporate law, employment and labor law, intellectual property law, and estate planning and probate. With our collective experience, we help clients to meet their desired objectives and relentlessly advocate for them. 

Appeal proceedings are different from trials in both strategies and audience. We provide appellate advocacy for clients, representing them before a panel of judges. While arguments for trials and appeals differ, we hold experience in both, appearing as appellate counsel in federal and state courts. Over the years, we have represented clients all over the country in appeals and have secured numerous victories. 

Having represented corporate companies in various employment litigation and business litigation, we have ample experience in serving as legal counsel in matters of labor law, unions, wage and hour laws, discrimination, retaliation and wrongful termination. Our attorneys are also skilled in counseling companies with mergers and acquisitions, business planning, contracts and partnerships. Furthermore, we also handle issues involving intellectual property law, patents and trademarks.
