I focus on advising closely held business owners and individuals regarding their business planning, shareholder and partner agreements, as well as business and real estate transactions. I have extensive experience in mergers and acquisitions, shareholder buyouts/dispute resolution, commercial real estate, asset and stock purchases, commercial finance and related transactions, private placements, and executive compensation, as well as in reviewing and drafting complex business agreements.. How I Serve Clients:. I focus on listening to what clients want, and providing cost-effective advice so that clients can make good decisions. In most instances clients do not want lengthy, expensive memos about their matter; rather they seek information about risks involved so that they can make informed business decisions.. I regularly visit my clients at their workplace, and take the time to learn about their businesses, company objectives, strategies, and opportunities. By understanding the business objectives of clients, I am better able to provide pro-active advice in light of their business strategy.. I, and our firm, seek to be long-term, trusted legal advisors for our clients. Fostering long-term relationships is beneficial for clients, as legal spend can be reduced and services and advice can be provided more efficiently. When a new matter arises, understanding the business objectives of clients enables us to quickly identify possible solutions that will be consistent with these business objectives.

1000 Second Ave, Suite 1770 , Seattle , Washington 98104
Practice Areas: Real Estate
Please note: Imanta Holmquist” is this attorney’s legal name, he goes by “Imants Holmquist.” This is because Avvo requires the use of the name listed with the bar association for all attorneys, and the Washington State Bar Association has Imants listed by his legal name “Imanta Holmquist”. “Imanta” is a Latvian name that is no longer in use as a male name due to grammar changes in the 1880’s, but is still carried on by families as a tradition where the name has been passed down generationally prior to that change, as is the case with Imanta Holmquist.”. Power in legal disputes and negotiations means having strong knowledge of the law and understanding of the issues to take effective action at every opportunity. A key reason clients hire me is that I keep my eye on their business goals. In other words, I get deals done. I’m enthusiastic about cooperating with my clients to build and develop their projects and aspirations.. All transactions have risk. What’s important is moving forward in as protected a manner as possible — understanding which of those risks are worth losing sleep over and require protective measures, and which should be understood, but ultimately not kill a deal. Balancing this dichotomy is an art as much as a skill.. I strongly care about the outcomes I obtain for our clients. I understand that when a client has a favorable outcome, he or she will be a client for life. To develop this relationship, I start from the position that responsiveness is essential: where possible I try to respond to all communications within 24 hours.. I was born and raised in the Seattle area. I grew up speaking Latvian and gained proficiency in Swedish while studying in Sweden. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my wife and three children, playing golf, skiing, and attending Husky football games.

A big issue in law and technology right now is client confidentiality:. I take all precautionary measures to protect confidences, and at the same ensure that the client's hardship is clearly outlined to the opposing side. While being guarded, the client's story must be told to make it known that he/she deserves an award of monetary or other relief. This is how I achieve cost-efficient results and resolution of casework in any forum.

In 1965 my family founded a manufacturing company in Tukwila and continued to operate it throughout my school years. From that young age, I saw that owning and operating your own business is stressful and requires constant attention, but can also be extremely rewarding.. With family business part of my daily life, it was natural for me to seek a major in business administration. I graduated from the University of Washington with a B.A. in Business Administration focusing on Entrepreneurship and a minor in Political Science.. During the course of my legal education, I realized that businesspersons evolve their practices due to an ever-changing collection of laws and regulations, which can be challenging, and disputes are sometimes inevitable. Having an attorney who understands the inside of a courtroom, as well as the intricacies of owning and managing a business, is a significant advantage.. My daily goal is to be a value-added partner and trusted adviser to my clients. To accomplish this I get to know the inner workings of my clients’ business, their employees, and customers. When an issue arises, I am able to identify the optimal way to achieve a client’s objectives, in light of the stakes involved. Nothing gets me more excited than to see my clients succeed and to know I was able to have a positive impact on their business.. Education. Bar Admissions. Community Engagement.

Troy has been repeatedly described by others as a 'lawyers' lawyer.' This is likely because he loves being a lawyer. He loves helping individuals and businesses resolve challenges that they cannot or do not have the time to resolve on their own.. Troy started being exposed to the law while working on Capitol Hill for Senator James McClure in the mid-1980s. He worked in the areas of commerce and foreign affairs. He then went to law school at the University of Washington School of Law. During his time at UW, he clerked for the Washington State Attorney General's office and the Honorable William L. Dwyer (deceased federal court judge). During law school he also hired on with the law firm of Stanislaw Ashbaugh (first as a law clerk and then as an associate attorney). For the next seven years Troy worked with this firm (and a spin-off), handling a variety of cases in construction, real estate, intellectual property, securities and employment.. In 1995 Troy, along with his partner, started a new law firm in downtown Bellevue. This firm grew from 3 employees to over 20 employees, and became one of the top 20 largest firms based on the Eastside in the late 1990s. While the firm, name and shareholders have changed through the years Troy has remained the firm's managing shareholder, as well as its lead litigator.. Troy's practice primarily focuses on business counseling and dispute resolution in the following areas:. Troy has successfully handled over a thousand such disputes. Perhaps more importantly to clients, Troy has actually tried over 50 such disputes, including a number of them in the multi-million dollar range. The following is a sample of some of the cases Troy has successfully handled:. Besides the experience Troy has gained in handling many cases and disputes over the years, he has also gained experience in resolving disputes (especially with municipalities) through his relationship with the City of Sammamish, Washington. Troy was involved in the incorporation of the City back in the 1990s. He was one of seven individuals elected to the first City Council and helped set up the city from scratch. Troy served two terms as the mayor of the City.. When Troy is not practicing law, Troy spends the bulk of his time with his family. Troy and his wife Kim have been married for 26 years, have 5 children, one married, and one grandchild (ages 10-23). Troy serves as the Unit Commissioner for his son's Boy Scout Troop and volunteers as a basketball coach for various Boys & Girls Club basketball teams (that his girls play on). Troy loves to play basketball and tennis and is an avid political affecionado.. Troy stands ready, willing and able to help you with any of your business needs.
