At McDowell Rackner & Gibson, we have one simple goal. We work to provide our clients with streamlined, responsive, and proactive representation that enables them to stay at the forefront of their industries. We have unparalleled breadth of experience in the fields of energy and telecommunications, with an emphasis on regulatory work and business advising.

Experienced

We are leaders in our fields. Our attorneys are recognized locally and nationally as among the best lawyers in energy, communications, and administrative law: Katherine McDowell, Lisa Rackner, and Kirk Gibson have each been included in "Best Lawyers in America" in energy law for many years. Amie Jamieson was recently recognized by Oregon Super Lawyer as an energy law "Rising Star." We bring nearly 100 years of collective experience to clients' issues. We have strong relationships with regulators, regulatory staff, and industry stakeholders throughout the West and Alaska. We have the depth of knowledge and the skill set to represent businesses from small start-up companies to multi-national corporations.

Responsive

We are committed to a client-centered firm model based on an acute awareness and a deep understanding of our clients’ needs. There are no layers of management or staff to slow down the process: we work directly with our clients, and when clients call our attorneys, they reach them directly or receive a prompt call back.

Effective

We concentrate on the most important goal: advancing our clients’ interests. We work efficiently to accomplish our clients’ goals without burdening them with unnecessary fees. Our clients are our first priority. We take pride in using our experience, skills, and industry stature to provide our clients with the best possible legal representation.
