We Make it Our Business to Understand Yours
For thirty years, Tonkon Torp has thrived by combining a strong entrepreneurial spirit with in-depth legal expertise. We pride ourselves on solving problems creatively without overlawyering them. That combination has helped our clients achieve numerous successes.
Our clients view Tonkon Torp as a trusted advisor because our relationships are rooted in a thorough understanding of their businesses and a shared vision of their goals. Over time, our client relationships not only have stayed healthy but also have grown as a result of our holistic approach. We strive for:
Personal service - Your case is never handed off to a lawyer you don't know or in whom you don't have complete confidence
Practicality - If a letter will work, we don't request a conference, and if a phone call will work, we don't write a letter
Goal-oriented advice - The bottom line, every time

Our History
The firm was formed by two of Oregon's leading business lawyers, Moe Tonkon and Fred Torp. In 1974, Fred Torp and five other attorneys left Oregon's largest firm to join an outstanding three-person firm headed by Moe Tonkon. Thirty years later, Tonkon Torp is one of the leading firms in the region with almost 70 lawyers. We're proud to say that we're still advising some of our original clients and their successor companies. Though the firm's size and practice has grown over the past thirty years, our core values of leadership, client service and community involvement remain unchanged.
