Strong shared, “Lane Powell impressed me with its strength in litigation, compliance and employment. Coming from an in-house position at an Alaska Native Corporation, I know how vital those practice areas are to our business community. As a third-generation Alaskan, I love practicing law here in Alaska because our Bar, clients and the larger community are so interconnected.”
