Nicandro Iannacci was drawn to law by a deep-rooted commitment to advocating for underdogs and the underrepresented. 

His work at Keller Rohrback allows him to unify his passion and experience into proactive litigation—going on offense and “bringing the case.” 

After earning his BA in Government at Harvard, Nicandro worked at a pair of nonprofits that focused on educating the public in civics and the Constitution. This experience informed his subsequent JD with honors at Columbia Law School. He supplemented his legal studies with extern work in criminal defense and immigration, thus acquiring the skills to work for and with those who are disadvantaged.

Upon receiving his law degree, Nicandro set out as a public defender in Queens, New York, and that experience reinforced his deep belief in the law as a tool to be used for good. His skill in finding communion with clients and colleagues, in the trenches working out ideas and strategies, eventually led to a clerkship with the Hon. Tana Lin, U.S. District Court Judge in the Western District of Washington. Nicandro arrived at Keller Rohrback prepared for the shift to offense on behalf of clients in complex litigation, and feels that his considerable experience will inform his future casework immeasurably. 

A native of Ohio, Nicandro split his formative years between the Midwest and the East Coast, and brings the spirit of both regions to his character and his work. Away from the job, he is a devoted dog dad, and pursues his passion for singing as a member of the Seattle Men’s Chorus.
