Garrett Crawshaw

Principal

Garrett Crawshaw focuses his practice on all aspects of commercial and residential real estate, including transactions, leasing, real estate finance and general real property issues across Oregon and Washington.

Garrett is a seasoned real estate attorney with 20 years of experience in commercial and residential real estate. Garrett’s practice has focused on real estate transactions, commercial leasing (representing landlords, major national tenants, and business owners), and real estate finance and secured lending (representing national banks, private lenders and borrowers). In addition to his commercially focused practice, Garrett supported his prior firm’s private client services group in guiding client’s purchases and sales, ownership issues, investments and trust and estate related transfers of residential and commercial real property.

Garrett is dedicated to working closely with clients to evaluate both legal exposure and real world impact, offering clear, actionable advice that supports informed decision making. Known for his ability to advance deals rather than hinder them, he helps clients navigate complex issues, resolve obstacles, and achieve successful results without over lawyering or overcomplicating the transaction. Whether guiding individuals, business or investors, Garrett brings a practical, solutions oriented approach grounded in deep real estate knowledge.
