About Maxim
Maxim Lissak’s academic record mixes law, finance and marketing. He earned a J.D. from Seattle University School of Law (J.D. (2013)). Earlier degrees include a Master of Science in Finance from Seattle University (M.S. (2004)) and a Bachelor of Arts in Marketing and Finance from the University of Washington’s Bothell campus (B.A. (2002)). Those credentials reflect a consistent thread: business and numbers have run alongside an interest in legal work.
After completing law school, Lissak built a legal practice in Washington. He is admitted to practice in the state. Over the years he has handled matters that sit at the intersection of business and regulation. His training in finance has informed how he approaches transactions, contract disputes and regulatory questions. He approaches each file by weighing legal risks and commercial realities.
Colleagues describe him as methodical in analysis and clear in explaining options. He has taken roles that required translating technical financial concepts into legal terms for clients and opposing counsel. That mix of skills has shaped the kinds of matters he accepts and how he prepares for negotiations and hearings.
Lissak maintains memberships in professional associations. He draws on that network for continuing education and to stay current on rule changes and emerging business issues. His experience spans advising privately held companies, working with financial data in a legal context and addressing business-oriented litigation matters. He tends to take on engagements that require both legal reasoning and an understanding of financial structures.
His practice is grounded in Washington’s legal environment. He works from offices in the region and manages client matters across the state’s courts and administrative forums. He emphasizes practical solutions, candid risk assessments and careful drafting to reduce downstream disputes.
Outside of matters that reach a courtroom, much of his time involves counseling on transactions, preparing agreements and helping clients understand compliance obligations. He combines his law degree and prior finance education to serve business clients who need legal work that recognizes commercial drivers. His current practice focuses on legal issues where business and finance intersect.
