Overview
The Seattle, WA office of Lewis Brisbois, a full-service AmLaw 100 firm, is actively seeking a junior attorney to join its Labor & Employment Practice.
Lewis Brisbois prides itself on offering a collegial, team-oriented, supportive environment for its attorneys.

Qualified candidates will be excellent at legal research and writing and dedicated to the practice of civil litigation. They will also have experience assisting senior level attorneys with all aspects of litigation, including interviewing witnesses, speaking with clients and opposing counsel, and drafting pleadings, discovery, and motions. They will also have at least some experience preparing for and assisting with trial preparation (i.e., experience drafting witness and exhibit disclosures, motions in limine, preparing witnesses) and with second-chairing a trial. Preferably, they will also have experience handling charges of discrimination filed with the EEOC and WSHRC and drafting position statements and responding to inquiries from administrative agencies.
