Landerholm, P.S.

What Landerholm, P.S. does

Landerholm, P.S. is a professional service law firm headquartered at 805 Broadway Street, Suite 1000 in Vancouver, Washington, providing legal counsel across four core practice areas: business law, estate planning, real estate, and litigation, with extended services in employment law, mergers and acquisitions, tax, land use and zoning, probate and trust administration, personal injury, and workers' compensation. Founded in 1948 by Walt Robinson and Irwin Landerholm, the firm serves individuals, families, and small-to-mid-market businesses throughout Southwest Washington and Northwest Oregon, with current leadership under President Roy D. Pyatt. The firm lists 22 named attorneys with differentiated professional backgrounds including former construction workers, CPAs, and judicial clerks, and employs between 51 and 100 total staff across attorney, professional, and administrative roles.

The firm's technology footprint is limited to industry-standard law firm practice management tooling, a Squarespace-hosted website, and Google Analytics for visitor tracking. There are no disclosed proprietary platforms, software products, APIs, or technology-enabled service delivery mechanisms. Marketing channels include an active legal blog dating to 2014, an employment law email newsletter subscription service, authorship in the Vancouver Business Journal, and sponsorships across 30+ local community organizations including Rotary Club, Boys & Girls Clubs, Clark College Foundation, and Community Foundation for Southwest Washington.

Landerholm generates revenue through traditional hourly rate billing for most practice areas, with contingency fee arrangements specifically for personal injury and workers' compensation matters where clients pay only upon receiving compensation. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and reputation-based, relying on attorney-client relationships, professional referrals, community sponsorships, and direct engagement rather than digital distribution. Customer segments include primary small-to-mid-market business clients served across construction, real estate development, healthcare, manufacturing, and employer/management verticals, alongside individual and family clients seeking estate planning, probate, and personal legal services.
