 maintains its offices in Seattle, Washington and Portland, Oregon, and specializes in
representing public safety labor organizations, including public safety Associations, Guilds and
Unions.
The firm got its start in 1981, when Will Aitchison, who had been representing private-sector labor
unions, founded a firm devoted to representing public safety organization. Over the years, the firm grew
to eventually represent more than 100 law enforcement and fire protection labor organizations in five Western
states. As the firm expanded, Chris Vick joined Will as a partner in the firm. In 1993, Will withdrew to "of-counsel"
status with the firm, but within a few years Will and Chris had re-formed their partnership under the name
of Aitchison & Vick.
Aitchison & Vick, Inc. has deliberately limited its practice to focus on providing
high quality legal services to a select clientele in Washington, Oregon, Alaska and Hawaii.
Will's and Chris' commitment to quality extends to every service the
firm provides to its clients. All of the partners hold strong beliefs in the necessity of prompt, informed,
and capable service to clients. The firm consciously maintains
a high attorney to client ratio to assure the best quality of client representation.
The result of this policy is that, while competing firms typically have fifteen unions assigned
to each attorney, Aitchison & Vick, Inc. maintains a ratio of five union clients to each attorney.
This translates into service and flexibility in serving our clients' needs.
Pioneers in the area of providing full-service representation packages to law enforcement and fire protection labor organizations, the lawyers in Aitchison & Vick have years of experience representing public safety labor organizations. Our attorneys act as the lead spokespersons at the bargaining table, process grievances and conduct arbitrations, handle complex litigation, provide around-the-clock immediate response to critical incidents, and furnish day-to-day counseling and advice to public safety labor organizations.
