Stoel Rives traces its lineage back to the Portland-based firm of Davies, Biggs, Strayer, Stoel and Boley, which was founded in 1907. At the time the firm was located at sw Third and Stark streets in the Chamber of Commerce Building before moving to the Yeon Building in 1911. In 1930, the name became Carey, Hart, Spencer & McCulloch, with the later being Charles E. McCulloch for which McCulloch Stadium is named after. The firm moved in 1970 to the Georgia-Pacific Building (now Standard Insurance Center) on sw Fifth Avenue. In 1979, this firm merged with another large Portland firm, Rives, Bonyhadi and Smith, which had been founded in 1935.
Standard Insurance Center acquired the Seattle-based Jones, Grey and Bayley (founded 1912) in 1987. The firm expanded into Boise, Idaho in 1991, Salt Lake City, Utah in 1992, and in 2001 established a California presence in Sacramento, San Francisco and Lake Tahoe with the acquisition of Washburn, Briscoe & McCarthy. The firm's geographic footprint expanded further with the opening of offices in San Diego, California (2006), Minneapolis, Minnesota (2007), Anchorage, Alaska (2008) and Washington, D.C. (2013). In June 2013, the firm was hit with a $12.8 million judgment in Utah for negligence in handling a land use application, though the firm planned to appeal. Stoel Rives moved into the new Park Avenue West Tower in May 2016.
