About Sheikhly Law
Two Backgrounds.
One Attorney.
Kaith Sheikhly founded this firm on a straightforward idea: clients deserve a lawyer who understands both the financial and the legal dimensions of their problem.
Why This Firm Exists
Before law school, Kaith worked as an Investment Banking Analyst—reviewing deals, modeling financial structures, and sitting across the table from the same kind of transactions his clients now bring to him. That background changed how he reads a contract: not just for legal compliance, but for what it actually costs you over time.
After law school, Kaith clerked for the Multnomah County Circuit Court, working alongside more than thirty judges. He learned what arguments land, what judges notice, and what separates a well-prepared case from one that falls apart at the wrong moment.
Those two experiences—the deal room and the courtroom—are what Sheikhly Law is built on.
What That Means for Clients
For Business Clients
When Kaith reviews your contract, he's not just checking whether it's legally enforceable. He's reading for compounding interest terms, earn-out structures, indemnification caps, and the clauses that look standard but create real exposure. The investment banking background is the difference between legal sign-off and actual deal analysis.
Whether you're forming an entity, negotiating a commercial lease, or working through a merger, you get counsel that understands the business—not just the law around it.
For Personal Injury Clients
Kaith clerked with judges who handle the same kinds of cases he now litigates. He knows how these cases are evaluated before they reach a jury and what evidence changes outcomes. That courtroom perspective informs how he builds a case from day one—not just in preparation for settlement, but in preparation for trial.
Personal injury and civil rights cases are handled on contingency. You pay nothing unless we recover compensation.
