Perkins Coie added Jamie Evans to its corporate practice as a partner in the firm’s Seattle office.
Evans focuses his practice on corporate and securities law, representing technology and life sciences companies across a broad range of corporate legal matters. With more than two decades of experience in the technology and growth-company ecosystem, Evans advises issuers, underwriters and other parties in public and private offerings of equity and debt securities, with particular experience counseling technology companies on their initial public offerings (IPOs).
“Our clients trust us to guide their companies through pivotal moments of growth and transition,” Jason Day and Brian J. Eiting, firmwide co-chairs of Perkins Coie’s corporate practice, said. “Jamie’s extensive experience advising prominent technology companies on high-profile transactions and IPOs will further strengthen our corporate and securities law pillars.”
In addition to his IPO and capital markets practice, Evans advises clients on SEC reporting and governance matters. Prior to joining Perkins Coie, Evans was most recently a partner in the technology capital markets group of a global law firm.
“I’m thrilled to join Perkins Coie,” Evans said. “The firm’s strong public company advisory platform, leading technology practice, and collaborative culture make it an ideal fit for my clients and practice. I look forward to working with my new colleagues to help clients through their IPOs and most complex transactions.”
Evans earned his bachelor of arts degree from Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut and his juris doctorate degree from UC Berkeley School of Law.
