Marjorie Walter

Marjorie seeks effective and efficient solutions that align with the current state of the law, without unduly interfering with business needs. She understands theoretical risks and benefits, but has the judgment and experience to provide timely, practical real-world advice. She is also skilled at forging positive working relationships with regulators, co-counsel, adverse counsel, and client personnel, leading to better results.

WalterKipling isn’t a conventional firm—and as the conventional big firm approach isn’t the only (or always best) way to serve clients, neither is law school the only (or necessarily best) way to become an attorney.

Marjorie started working as a paralegal at a large San Francisco firm to put herself through graduate school. Many years later, with significant client contact and substantive work on complex antitrust and consumer protection matters on her resume, Marjorie was an ideal candidate for the Washington State Bar Association’s Law Clerk Program. Mike served as her mentor, and after four years of uninterrupted study, exams, and on-the-job training, Marjorie was approved by the WSBA to sit for the bar.
