"We began working with Stoel Rives while A-dec was still a relatively small, family owned company and just beginning to make a name in the dental industry. As our company grew, established offices on two other continents, and expanded into the world market, our legal needs became more complex. Stoel Rives continued to provide the legal advice and knowledge to facilitate that growth and to ensure A-dec’s continuing success. The same is true today. A-dec, now a prominent name in the dental industry, is still a family owned company, and the experts at Stoel Rives continue to meet the needs that are unique to international business and three generations of family members. Stoel Rives provides continuity in our personal and business lives, and we have the utmost respect for the firm’s consistent level of professionalism, expertise, and commitment. Congratulations to Stoel Rives on the firm’s 100th anniversary."
