BCLP Appoints Trevor Varnes as Chief Financial Officer

BCLP today announced the appointment of Trevor Varnes as the firm’s new Chief Financial Officer. Trevor joins BCLP from Perkins Coie, where he served as CFO for the past seven years.

At BCLP, Trevor will work closely with the leadership team to pursue the firm’s goals around financial operations and business performance. As CFO, he will oversee the firm’s accounting and financial reporting, financial analysis, budgeting, billing and collections, treasury functions, taxes, and audits.

“Trevor is a highly respected financial leader with a strong operational background and proven track record of success,” said Steve Baumer, BCLP CEO. “His deep understanding of the legal industry and his extensive experience with data analytics will be invaluable to BCLP as we continue to enhance and strengthen our platform.”

With more than 25 years of experience in the legal industry, Trevor’s background spans two decades at Perkins Coie, where he began his career with roles in the conflicts, business development, practice management, and finance departments. He went on to join Seattle-based law firm Ogden Murphy Wallace, serving as Executive Director for three years, before rejoining Perkins Coie and going on to lead its financial operations as CFO.

“I am excited to join BCLP, which is such a dynamic international firm – with a unique and fully integrated platform financially,” said Trevor Varnes. “Combined with BCLP’s strong commitment to client service, I look forward to working with the leadership team to drive the performance of the firm in the years to come.”

Based in Seattle, Trevor is the latest to join BCLP’s fast-growing office in the Pacific Northwest. Earlier this month, BCLP tripled its presence in Seattle, combining with law firm Harrigan Leyh Farmer & Thomsen, while also welcoming high-profile litigator Erin Ehlert.
