Will Gent

Will is an associate in the firm's Litigation Department. He represents businesses and individuals in a variety of complex civil matters, including contract disputes, consumer protection litigation, commercial leasing matters, and corporate governance and shareholders disputes. In addition to his litigation work, Will advises commercial lenders, start-ups, and other companies on complying with state and federal regulatory requirements. 

Will graduated Order of the Coif from the University of Oregon School of Law, where he was Executive Editor of the Oregon Law Review. During law school, Will was a fellow in the Wayne Morse Center for Law & Politics and received the Governor Paul Patterson Memorial Fellowship for his commitment to civic involvement. Additionally, he served as a judicial extern for the Honorable Michael J. McShane, United States District Judge for the District of Oregon, and also as a law clerk in the Civil Litigation Section of the Oregon Department of Justice's Trial Division.

Originally from Eugene, Oregon, Will enjoys running in Forest Park; exploring Portland’s craft breweries; and experiencing new places, cultures, and foods.
 

A passion for travel and a desire to experience new cultures led Will Gent to step off the well-trodden tourist paths of Southeast Asia. On a trip that included stops in Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia, Will climbed Mount Batur—an active volcano in the Balinese interior—revealing sunrise views of the mountain's crater, as well as the Lesser Sunda Islands. Closer to home, Will enjoys feeding his love of hiking in the Three Sisters Wilderness and Olympic National Park.
