FOSLER LAW

James E. Fosler, ESQ

Jim Fosler graduated with honors from Gonzaga University with degrees in History and Economics and went on to earn his Juris Doctor, also with honors, from Gonzaga University School of Law.
After clerking for a trial court judge in Anchorage, Alaska, Jim gained early experience in complex litigation under the mentorship of some of the state’s leading attorneys. He later joined a midsized Pacific Rim–based law firm, where he helped expand the firm’s Alaska presence while contributing to its core maritime and securities practices.

In 2002, Jim founded Fosler Law to create a practice that reflects his core values of flexibility, integrity, and client partnership. His goals remain to:

• Build teams on a case-by-case basis to successfully litigate against the world’s most powerful corporations and industries;
• Provide clients with direct, personal representation; and
• Structure fee agreements that align his success with his clients’, fostering integration, partnership, and trust.

This approach has been highly successful. As detailed elsewhere on this site, Jim has represented the State of Alaska, the Alaska State Legislature, former Governors, Judges, Corporations, and Alaska Native Corporations in some of Alaska’s most notable and complex cases, including many with national significance. He also represents individuals in significant personal injury claims, a part of his practice he finds especially meaningful for its direct impact on clients’ lives.

Jim has advised business and governments on a broad range of issues, including business formation, organization and reorganization, and risk management. He has conducted internal and casualty investigations and served as outside General Counsel.  

Outside of his legal practice, Jim has founded and owned several successful businesses, including a restaurant, medical practice, and his most recent venture, All In Academy, LLC (allinacademyla.com).

Jim enjoys boating, skiing, mountain biking, and traveling.

Fee Agreements

Jim structures fee arrangements to align his interests with those of his clients. Most litigation is handled on a contingency basis, with no fee unless there is a recovery. For business litigation, he offers customized alternative fee arrangements—such as flat monthly fees or hybrid hourly/contingency structures—to provide greater cost predictability.
