ELI KRUEGER

Attorney

I joined NWCL to dive head-first into the deep end of the entrepreneurial pool and to work with clients I am excited about

Coming originally from an in-house background where I had only a single client, I wanted to see the wider world of businesses and get to know more of the personalities that drive those varied businesses.

 

We are always looking to improve, to be more responsive, and to address client needs

I like to frequently check in with my clients to ensure I understand their evolving and overarching goals; that plays a major role in ensuring ultimate client satisfaction.

 

We love to solve problems flexibly

Clients sometimes think business attorneys exist only to tell them “NO.” I love helping my clients find creative solutions to reach their goals; that gets me out of bed in the morning.

 

Words of wisdom to entrepreneurs

Foreseeing and avoiding problems before they arise is cheaper and less complicated than trying to fix them after they do arise.

 

The Pacific Northwest is my adoptive home and I love working with businesses here

The outdoor scene in the Pacific Northwest drew me here and is hard to beat; Pacific Northwesterners’ willingness to take a chance on themselves and their entrepreneurial dreams inspired me and kept me here.

ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES

On drier Pacific NW days Eli can be found on his bicycle, training for a one-day finish at the Seattle to Portland Bike Ride. On rainier days he can be found indoors watching soccer (MLS and EPL), fencing (epée, of course), and playing board and card games.

 

And on virtually any type of day, he can be found wine-tasting with his wife, an oenophile who has sparked a love for wine in Eli as well.
