Graham & Dunn offers a highly-experienced Emerging Companies & Entrepreneurs Industry Team (EC&E), comprised of attorneys whose focus and forte is to represent and serve emerging companies and individual entrepreneurs who are ready to take their ideas to the next level.
Our practice attorneys are uniquely qualified to provide focused, pragmatic legal counsel, blended with
strategic business advice, both on a full-service or transaction basis. Each of us offers real-world
business counsel; most of us have previously worked in operations, in-house or as general counsel to a
company. We appreciate the dynamics of emerging companies; we understand the sense of urgency in
starting a business, the limited resources available, and the thin margin for error. Each of us has
gravitated to this practice because we are entrepreneurial ourselves and thrive on the excitement and
energy involved in new ventures and ideas. We genuinely enjoy working with entrepreneurs and relish
the opportunity to roll up our sleeves and become an integral part of our clients’ teams.

Foundation Bank is a locally-owned and full-service; Washington State chartered commercial bank, offering a wide array of individually designed commercial credit and deposit products. In 2000, the doors were opened to our one location in Bellevue, Washington. With approximately $240 million in assets and growing, Foundation Bank focuses on delivering services to Puget Sound area businesses and professionals.
Foundation Bank partners most closely with locally owned and operated, medium-sized business clients. Most of our clients have sales (or prospective sales) of between $5 million and $100 million. Our hallmark to our success is our ability to grow with our clients. Our clients subscribe to the same core beliefs as us by focusing on service that is tied to the right products, with decisions made right here in our office. Thus, we have been able to be proactive and reactive to meet the changing environment of our customers while balancing the appropriate level of risk.
