Practice Experience
Lorianne Hanson is a member of the Bullivant Casualty Law practice, with a primary focus on complex litigation, including product liability and commercial litigation. She also represents employers in the defense of claims for discrimination and harassment in the workplace, wage and hour violations, and breach of contract. Lorianne thrives on building in-depth knowledge of her clients and their businesses and brings a practical and seasoned approach to evaluating and advising as to litigation risk and strategy. She excels at distilling complicated issues into actionable strategies and has brought home multiple summary judgment victories involving difficult issues. When necessary, Lorianne has enjoyed successfully defending clients at trial in both state and federal courts.
Lorianne's practice covers the West Coast, following her own migration from California, to Oregon, to Washington. She is well-versed in the local nuances of each jurisdiction and enjoys serving as regional counsel in high-exposure product liability cases while cultivating a robust local practice in defending local personal injury, employment, and general business litigation matters.
