A globally recognized litigation practice is seeking attorneys across multiple experience levels to join its growing Seattle office. Whether you are an associate looking to expand your experience, a senior attorney seeking more sophisticated work, or an experienced litigator interested in greater responsibility and client exposure, this opportunity offers a strong platform for long-term career growth.

The team handles a broad range of complex litigation matters, including transportation and trucking litigation, catastrophic injury claims, premises liability, product liability, professional liability, insurance coverage disputes, construction litigation, and complex commercial litigation. Attorneys work closely with sophisticated clients, including insurers, national corporations, and industry leaders facing significant litigation exposure.

What You'll Do

  • Draft and argue motions
  • Take and defend depositions
  • Conduct legal research and prepare case strategy
  • Attend hearings, mediations, and settlement conferences
  • Work directly with clients and claims professionals
  • Participate in trial preparation and trial proceedings
  • Collaborate with experienced trial attorneys on high-exposure matters

What We're Looking For

  • Active Washington Bar admission
  • Litigation experience in insurance defense, transportation, trucking, catastrophic injury, commercial litigation, construction, professional liability, product liability, or related practice areas
  • Strong legal writing, research, and analytical skills
  • Experience handling hearings, depositions, and motion practice
  • Trial experience is a plus, but not required
  • Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset

Why Consider This Opportunity?

This is an opportunity to work on sophisticated, high-stakes litigation matters while receiving meaningful responsibility and direct client exposure. Attorneys are encouraged to take ownership of their cases, develop their advocacy skills, and work alongside accomplished litigators with significant trial experience. The team offers a collaborative environment, a strong pipeline of complex work, and clear opportunities for professional growth and advancement.

Ideal for attorneys who want to elevate their litigation practice, gain hands-on experience with complex matters, and continue developing as strategic advocates and future trial lawyers.
