About
I moved to the northwest with my family in 2006 after practicing for 16 years in New York City. My training as a tax lawyer and my experience with entity formation, transactional work and contract review allows me to help clients with business and tax issues as they start their operations, enter into transactions or encounter difficult situations. When not practicing law, I spend time with my husband and daughter, sing in several choirs on Bainbridge Island, write poetry and enjoy yoga.

I hired Jennifer to help me setup a non-profit. It was not complicated, but she was helpful in answering questions and setting it all up.
Our two businesses have used Jenny Coates for general business law matters for the last few years. She is always responsive and helpful. A very good communicator.
As a small business owner, I really have appreciated how quickly Jennifer has been able to turn around requests. On more than one occasion she has caught some very unfavorable (to us) language during the review of potential contracts. Her guidance on our business strategy and assistance in navigating complex legal issues has been a tremendous asset and I am always confident that she is looking out for our best interests.
I hired Jenny Coates in Nov 2017 for an IRS compliance filing. Jenny was easy to work with. She was thorough from the first minute until the very end of the five-month process. She never sugar-coated what was required; she presented the big picture of what the process would entail and covered all the fine details. She also gently pushed me to obtain all the information required and never once allowed me to cut corners. She answered every question I threw at her with unfailing professionalism. The bonus: she was also kind, encouraging and patient. I truly felt like she was a friend, not only an attorney.
Jenny helped me file the legal documentation to register my consulting practice with the office of the WA Secretary of State. She has provided excellent and timely legal counsel on other tax and business related matters for my company.
Jenny consistently provides us timely, concise and relevant legal advice as needed to support our growing business over the years. Whether it is a brief (but important!) question -- what are the international legal considerations to opening an office in London? -- to an entire process of converting our business from an LLC to a Social Purpose Corporation, Jenny is there to answers all our legal questions. She is a pleasure to work with, and we would highly recommend her!
Jenny was great to work with. She helped me through the process of purchasing a business, and more recently has helped me with lease negotiations as I expand. Friendly, prompt and expert are all terms I would apply to Jenny. Would recommend her to anyone needing an attorney to navigate the complexities of owning or running a business.
Jenny help us create a new LLC for our consulting practice. She was thorough, efficient, timely and responsive.
