Our clients are part of our team.
Lauesen Law Team is founded on the guiding principles of ethics, diligence, compassion, and straightforward representation. We work collaboratively to identify the problem and educate our clients on the available options and the associated risks and rewards attributable to each possible course of action. We only take cases where we can provide a tangible benefit to our clients. Legal representation is expensive and sometimes risky; we will advise you candidly on costs throughout your case. Our main goal is to ensure that our clients understand the often-confusing legal process and how strategy affects them.
Accurate. Aggressive. Civil. This is how we practice law.
We are a general, statewide firm with specialized experience in the following areas:
Alaska Native Law
(lands, environmental contamination, stock, and corporate governance)
Civil Litigation
Real Property
Corporate Counsel Services
Professional ethics are our highest priority.
