Associate Attorney

Associate Attorney opening at Limitless Law PLLC Now Hiring Limitless Law PLLC — Bellingham, Washington Limitless Law is looking for an attorney who wants more than just their next associate role — someone who wants to build a practice, develop meaningful client relationships, and potentially grow into ownership over time. About the Firm Limitless Law PLLC is an award-winning Bellingham firm serving clients throughout Whatcom County and Washington State. Our firm leads with competence and compassion, handling cases ranging from adoption to estate planning, business law to prenuptial agreements and real estate transactions. Profit sharing has been part of our firm for years, and for the right attorney committed to building a future here, the owner is open to discussing an earned equity path. About the Role Approximately 75% of your work will focus on estate planning, probate, and trust administration. The remaining work includes real estate and business transactional matters through the firm's existing client relationships. You will have direct client contact from the start and begin managing your own matters as you acclimate. You'll also have direct access to the firm owner for mentorship and support. Business development is not expected during your first year — the priority is learning the practice, serving clients well, and building strong relationships. This is a flat-fee firm. Success is measured by the quality and volume of matters you complete, client outcomes, efficiency, and revenue generated — not billable-hour targets. Key Responsibilities Manage estate planning, probate, and trust administration matters from intake through completion. Draft and advise on wills, revocable and irrevocable trusts, powers of attorney, health care directives, community property agreements, and related documents. Handle probate administration: court filings, creditor claims, inventories, and distributions. Advise trustees and personal representatives on estate and trust administration. Handle related real estate and business transactional matters, including deeds, purchase and sale agreements, and entity formation. Meet directly with clients, conduct signings, and guide families through personal and complex decisions. Keep matters organized and moving forward within a fully paperless, cloud-based practice. Qualifications ~2–5 years of legal practice experience; estate planning & probate experience strongly preferred. Experience drafting estate planning documents and independently managing client matters. Small-firm experience is a plus. Active Washington State Bar license in good standing. Comfort working with diverse family structures, including LGBTQ+ and ethically non-monogamous clients. Strong written, verbal, and client-facing communication skills. Comfort working within a fully paperless, cloud-based practice. Why This Role Stands Out Path to Ownership Profit sharing is already in place. The owner is open to discussing earned equity for the right person. Nuanced EP Work Serve a diverse client base — LGBTQ+, ethically non-monogamous families — with thoughtful, customized planning. Efficiency Rewarded Flat-fee model means no incentive to pad hours. Quality work and efficiency drive your success. Direct Mentorship Work closely with the firm owner while developing your own client relationships and matter ownership early. Modern Practice Fully paperless, cloud-based tools, small team, minimal travel — you'll have real impact on how work gets done. Live in Bellingham Mountains, water, a smaller-city lifestyle, and proximity to Seattle & Vancouver — without the metro commute. Performance bonuses uncapped Profit sharing Medical, Dental & Vision 100% employee premium paid 401(k) with match 12 holidays + PTO & sick leave Employee Assistance Program Limitless Law PLLC is an equal opportunity employer and encourages candidates of all backgrounds and identities to apply.
