About The Firm

Established infrastructure designed for modern risk protection and meticulous high-end evidentiary collection.

Our Practice Philosophy

Alder & Whitmore operates exclusively within the corporate, industrial, and institutional ecosystem. Founded by intelligence veterans and elite technical forensic specialists, we provide the ultimate buffer against internal threats, transactional vulnerability, and external competitive espionage.

We maintain an unyielding standard of absolute legality. Every piece of intelligence obtained by our personnel conforms perfectly to statutory rules of discovery, positioning clients advantageously during critical civil or regulatory enforcement actions.

The Seattle Advantage

Based in the Pacific Northwest, Alder & Whitmore serves as the leading intelligence partner to the region's prominent technological, aerospace, bio-pharmaceutical, and maritime industrial bases.

We understand the delicate intellectual infrastructure that anchors corporate market caps, offering specialized protocols tailored for technology leakage protection and highly targeted insider-threat assessments.
