About this role
We are looking for an Associate Attorney with 6+ years of civil litigation experience to own cases from initiation through settlement or trial. You'll join a collaborative, in-person firm where you're treated as a professional with full autonomy over your caseload, supported by paralegals and experienced colleagues — this is your opportunity to do real litigation work.
What will you be doing?
- Managing your own civil litigation cases end-to-end (employment law, school law, and general civil litigation)
- Drafting motions, conducting discovery, and deposing parties, experts, and third parties
- Attending hearings, arguing motions, and conducting bench and jury trials
- Meeting with clients to devise litigation strategies and execute settlement agreements
- Collaborating daily with colleagues on case strategy in an in-person environment
Key Requirements
- 6+ years of civil litigation experience with strong motion practice skills
- Ability to independently manage cases from intake through trial with minimal supervision
- Trial-ready mindset — second chair experience preferred, first chair even better, but must be eager and prepared to try cases
- Active Washington State Bar membership in good standing
- Stable employment history with no unexplained short tenures or frequent job hopping
