BELLEVUE · PACIFIC NORTHWEST · SINCE 1965
Oseran Hahn is a boutique Pacific Northwest law firm. For six decades we’ve worked alongside business owners, families, and the boards of the communities they call home, helping them choose the next move with clarity.
We’re a small firm by choice. Big enough to handle the work, small enough to know you by name.
Our attorneys average more than twenty years in practice. We staff matters lean, return calls the same day, and write things in language a client can actually use. The work changes; that part doesn’t.
Most clients come to us at a turning point: a sale, a dispute, a loss, a season of growth. Pick the one that fits, and we’ll meet you there.
Maybe you’re forming a company. Maybe you’re fielding an offer you weren’t expecting. Maybe you’re finally ready to step back. We’ll help you choose the next move with clear eyes and steady counsel.
For business owners →We sit at the closing table for the corner lot and the multi-phase mixed-use, for the family that owns one building and the developer with a hundred. We know how a delayed signature becomes a month of carry cost.
For developers & investors →Owning commercial real estate is its own business: leases, loans, tenants, tax bills, and the occasional crisis. We’ve been outside counsel to Pacific Northwest property owners for six decades, from single-asset LLCs to portfolios that grew quietly over thirty years.
For property owners →Boards inherit decisions made years ago and answer to neighbors they see at the mailbox. We’ve guided HOAs and condo boards across Washington through governance, defect claims, and the harder conversations.
For HOAs & condo boards →Religious-liberty protections, polity that varies by tradition, boards called by something more than statute. We’ve served Pacific Northwest congregations, temples, and faith-based nonprofits for decades, quietly, in plain language, and with respect for the way each tradition governs itself.
For faith communities →Nonprofits ask their boards to carry a mission and a business at the same time. We've counseled Pacific Northwest charities, foundations, and social-service organizations for decades, keeping the legal side in order so the work can be the work.
For nonprofits →Estate planning isn’t about paperwork; it’s about clarity for the people who’ll come after you. We work patiently, in plain language, on plans that fit the way your family actually lives.
For families & individuals →Family offices from Asia, owner-operators from Canada, second-home buyers from Europe. The Pacific Rim families who think generationally about the assets they hold here. We work in the language of their counterparties, with attention to the treaty, tax, and reporting rules that keep a clean investment clean.
For international investors →Ten practice areas, one firm. Many clients come for one thing and stay for the bench, with litigators, dealmakers, and estate planners all sitting a few doors apart.
