A partner in Keller Rohrback's nationally recognized Complex Litigation Group, Will focuses his practice on environmental, consumer, and other tort cases on behalf of individuals and cities, counties, and states, with a particular emphasis on trial work.


Since joining the firm in 2024, Will has served as lead or co-lead counsel in jury trials representing a state against an e-cigarette maker and individuals who lost their homes in the largest set of wildfires in Oregon's history, with the latter resulting in a $56 million damages verdict. Will has also helped lead the firm's artificial intelligence practice group, having been appointed Co-Lead Interim Class Counsel in the copyright infringement class action Hendrix et al. v. Apple, Inc., (N.D. Cal.).

Prior to joining the firm, Will spent over five years prosecuting criminal cases as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Western District of Washington. In that role, Will prosecuted local violent crime, property crime, and environmental crime, and served as the district's Criminal Civil Rights Coordinator, overseeing the investigation and prosecution of all hate crimes and unlawful uses of force by law enforcement officers. For three years, he was detailed to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia, prosecuting felony cases arising out of the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol building.

Before moving to Seattle, Will litigated clean energy, environmental, and commercial matters at Jenner & Block LLP. He clerked for Justice Elena Kagan at the U.S. Supreme Court.
