Location Seattle, WA 98101 Date Posted November 06, 2026 Job ID 15890 Employment Type Direct Hire

Looking for sophisticated litigation work without sacrificing your work-life balance?

A highly respected, established Pacific Northwest litigation firm is seeking talented Litigation Associates to join its growing teams in Seattle or Tacoma, Washington.

This is an excellent opportunity for attorneys who enjoy substantive litigation, want greater ownership of their cases, and value working alongside experienced trial attorneys in a collaborative, supportive environment.

Whether your background is in insurance defense, medical malpractice, healthcare litigation, professional liability, or general civil litigation, this firm offers the opportunity to expand your practice while maintaining a sustainable workload.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Competitive Compensation: $130,000-$200,000, depending on experience.

• Hybrid Flexibility: Approximately 2-3 days in office, with flexibility depending on experience and team needs.

• Unlimited PTO: Flexible time-off policy that supports life outside the office.

• Hands-On Litigation: Meaningful opportunities to handle depositions, motions, hearings, discovery, and case strategy.

• Mentorship & Growth: Work directly with experienced litigators who invest in attorney development.

• Career Advancement: Long-term growth opportunities within an established and respected litigation practice.

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of civil litigation experience, preferably on the defense side.

• Experience in medical malpractice, healthcare liability, or insurance defense is a plus, but not required.

• Strong legal research, writing, and analytical skills.

• Experience drafting and arguing motions, managing discovery, and taking depositions.

• Confidence handling substantive litigation responsibilities and an interest in developing courtroom advocacy skills.

• Active Washington State Bar admission.

The Opportunity

You'll join a collegial team handling sophisticated civil defense matters for a diverse client base. The firm values attorneys who take initiative, enjoy solving complex legal problems, and want to continue developing their litigation and trial skills.

No unnecessary bureaucracy. No excessive billable-hour expectations. Just interesting litigation, supportive colleagues, and room to grow.
