Lukins & Annis

What Lukins & Annis does

Lukins & Annis is a full-service law firm founded in 1972 in Spokane, Washington by tax attorney Scott Lukins and litigator Gene Annis through the merger of their respective practices. The firm has grown to over 60 attorneys and employees operating across three Inland Northwest offices — Spokane (headquarters), Coeur d'Alene, Idaho (established 1984), and Moses Lake, Washington — and serves clients throughout Washington, Idaho, Oregon, and nationally. Its core offering spans 17 practice areas including litigation, business and corporate, banking and financial, real estate and land use, tax, estate planning, construction, employment and labor, agriculture, cannabis, intellectual property, family law, municipal law, probate and trusts, creditor rights, and commercial law.

The firm's value proposition rests on multi-state licensed attorneys (Washington, Idaho, Oregon, plus multiple federal courts including the 9th Circuit and U.S. Supreme Court), five decades of continuous practice, and durable third-party credibility (Martindale-Hubbell AV Preeminent rating maintained 20+ years, Best Lawyers in America listings for Tax and Real Estate Law for 30+ years). It serves a diversified mix of client segments including financial institutions (Washington Trust Bank as a long-term anchor), business entities ranging from small businesses to multinational corporations, high net worth individuals and families, agricultural operations in Washington and Idaho, and governmental entities (counties, cities, water and sewer districts).

The business model is traditional professional services: hourly-based legal fees across all practice areas, with associate compensation in the $90,000-$120,000 range plus benefits, profit sharing, and 401(k) match. Go-to-market relies on direct client relationships, referrals from existing clients and professional networks (accountants, financial advisors, attorneys), and community involvement through board service, sponsorships, and continuing legal education seminars. Technology infrastructure consists of standard case management, document management, and law firm systems with no disclosed proprietary AI tooling. The firm is structured as a private professional services corporation (P.S.) domiciled in Washington with no disclosed institutional investor backing.
