Strategic move signals the firm's continued growth in the Pacific Northwest
COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho, March 26, 2025 -- Fennemore, a leading full-service Am Law 200 business law firm, is advancing its strategic vision in Idaho with the addition of attorney Peter J. Smith IV as a Director based in Coeur d'Alene. Smith's arrival represents a defining step in the firm's continued expansion across Idaho and the Pacific Northwest—a region emerging as a hub for economic growth and innovation.
Licensed in both Idaho and Washington, Smith brings deep experience in business transactions, commercial real estate, mining, and corporate law. He is a trusted advisor to entrepreneurs, developers, and business leaders building the future of the West.
"This is a firm that doesn't just talk about innovation—it's executing on it," said Smith. "Fennemore has a real business-driven strategy, a forward-looking vision, and the courage to act. The opportunity to join a team that's investing in Idaho and delivering for clients in high-growth markets positions me to offer an even higher level of service."
Smith added: "Fennemore's retention and employee satisfaction statistics lead the industry for a reason. This is a firm that actually walks the talk—putting people first and building careers that are both high-performing and sustainable. You don't have to choose between doing great work and living a meaningful life outside the office. It's a rare combination that many discuss, but few deliver on in practice."
James Goodnow, CEO of Fennemore, emphasized the significance of the move. "Idaho is one of the fastest-growing states in the country—and we're planting a flag with purpose. Peter's arrival signals the next phase of our strategic expansion in the Northwest. At Fennemore, we bet on bold leaders. Peter brings the energy, experience, and forward-thinking spirit that align perfectly with where we're going as a firm—and where Idaho's business community is headed."
