About the role
We are looking for an experienced Attorney/Lawyer to join a legal team in Seattle, Washington. What's especially unique is that they're open-minded on background and are interested in speaking with strong attorneys from a variety of practice areas - including criminal law, prosecution, public defense, government, and other litigation-focused practices, in addition to judicial clerks. This role focuses on complex litigation matters involving insurance coverage, construction defect, product liability, detail oriented liability, and general civil disputes.
Responsibilities:
Manage a diverse caseload of civil litigation matters. Draft pleadings, motions, discovery requests, and legal memoranda. Conduct legal research and develop litigation strategy. Handle depositions, mediations, arbitrations, and court appearances. Collaborate directly with partners on complex insurance and commercial disputes. Communicate regularly with clients, carriers, claims professionals, and opposing counsel. Participate in trial preparation and support litigation through verdict when necessary. Analyze coverage issues and provide practical risk-management guidance to clients.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
