Welcome to the redesigned alto law group website!

Many of our clients and friends know that, in addition to alto, we are heavily involved in helping Haiti.  Josh and I are founders and Board members of Mangrove Fund (along with my wife and Peter Galen, a close friend of alto and us personally).  Mangrove is a Portland-based 501(c)(3) public charity.  We have been focused exclusively on Haiti since our inception in 2007.  I’m not going to go into too much detail on Mangrove here.  If you want to learn more about us, click here.

The hardest thing about writing this first substantive post was deciding what to discuss.  There are so many issues happening on macro, micro, collective and individual basis that it is almost impossible to pick a first topic to address.  We are fortunate to have an amazing cadre of clients who are doing some incredible things both because of and in spite of the economic downturn that has affected all of us in some way.
