Brad Marten, the founder and Managing Partner of Marten Law Group, is consistently ranked by his peers as one of the nation’s top environmental lawyers. In its current edition, Chambers lists Brad in its top tier and has this to say about him:
Brad Marten is “better than anyone else in town,” according to some sources. He enjoys the healthy respect of peers and works well with regulatory authorities. Clients commented: “He always seems genuinely concerned about our issues and is willing to communicate and explain things.”
Over a 25 year career, Brad has represented both corporate and public clients in environmental matters touching on most of the major environmental laws. He has gained particular notoriety as a creative problem solver of matters involving real estate development, environmental enforcement, corporate acquisitions, environmental insurance, and criminal proceedings.
Brad has been listed in The Best Lawyers in America for over fifteen years. He has been recognized this year as one of the top five environmental lawyers in Seattle by Seattle Magazine, as a Top Business Lawyer by Seattle Business Magazine, as one of “Washington’s Most Amazing Attorneys” by Washington CEO magazine, as a “Super Lawyer” by Washington State Law & Politics magazine, and as a “Top Lawyer” by Seattle Metropolitan magazine.

Brad has guided the expansion of Marten Law Group since its founding in 2002. During that time, the firm has more than doubled its staff and has added an office in Portland to better serve its clients. The firm is planning continued growth, particularly in the areas of climate change, water quality and quantity, property development and permitting. Traditional areas of environmental practice including waste cleanup and management, land use, enforcement are also expected to fuel the firm’s growth.
