Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani, the nation's first and only full-service law firm with offices in all 50 states, welcomes Alexander Hill as a Partner in the firm's Portland office, strengthening the Employment Law practice group.
Hill is a commercial litigator who defends businesses, employers, nonprofits, insurers, and other organizations in disputes throughout Oregon and Washington. As a former police officer and claims professional for a large insurance company, he brings a unique perspective to each case. In addition to his extensive experience handling insurance claims litigation, he is sought after in employment defense cases, including representation of private universities for claims involving students and employees, as well as complex commercial disputes.
"Alex joining GRSM Portland strengthens our dedication to delivering top-notch services in employment law," shared Nancy Erfle, Portland Managing Partner and member of the GRSM Executive Committee. "With his diverse background covering criminal investigations and insurance claims, he brings a fresh perspective that enhances our capabilities. We're excited about the valuable contributions he'll bring to our team."
Hill's background in criminal and insurance investigations provides him with advanced training and experience in interviewing, investigations, and negotiations beyond the traditional attorney. He does not hesitate to ask tough questions or challenge contradictions, leveraging this nontraditional background to provide his clients with a distinct, think-outside-the-box approach to evaluations, analysis, and options for resolution.
He is a member of Leadership Portland, the Portland Metro Chamber's long-standing civic engagement program, which helps Portland professionals understand the institutions and critical issues impacting the region. He is also a member of the Professional Liability Underwriting Society (PLUS), the Professional Liability Attorney Network (PLAN), the Defense Research Insitute, the Oregon Association of Defense Counsel, and the Multnomah Bar Association. He has been recognized as a Rising Star by Super Lawyers and One to Watch by Best Lawyers in America.
He is admitted to practice in Oregon, Washington, the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Hill earned his law degree, with honors, from Albany Law School and his undergraduate degree from Portland State University.
