We are pleased to welcome our former 2024 Summer Law Clerk, Joseph M. Arzt, as an associate attorney. His current practice focuses on assisting both individuals and businesses in disputes involving personal injury, premises liability, professional liability, and construction issues. Joseph is a graduate of Lewis & Clark Law School and member of the Oregon State Bar.

In the years prior to attending law school, he worked at a number of law firms here in Portland starting his career as a legal assistant at a social security disability firm before moving on to work as a case assistant at a civil defense firm where he primarily assisted on personal liability, products liability, and medical malpractice matters.

At Lewis & Clark Law School, Joseph served as an article editor for the Lewis & Clark Law Review and was also involved in the school’s Intellectual Property Student Organization and Jewish Legal Society. During his free time, Joseph enjoys climbing, attending concerts, and taking in all the restaurants, parks, and other activities Portland has to offer with his wife, Laurel.
