Tacoma, WA

Join an established boutique law firm that is excited to invest in an early-career Litigation Attorney.

This is a great opportunity for an attorney who is ready to learn, contribute, and take on more responsibility. You’ll receive hands-on mentorship from senior attorneys and partners. You’ll also gain broad exposure to civil litigation matters involving real estate, probate, construction, contracts, and business disputes.

You do not need experience in every area. The firm is looking for strong potential, curiosity, and a genuine interest in growing your practice.

You’ll have the chance to work on sophisticated matters, build direct client relationships, and develop a focus that reflects your strengths and interests. The firm offers a collaborative environment where your work will be seen and your growth will be supported.

What You’ll Do

  • Take lead on litigation matters from inception through resolution, including trial
  • Manage disputes involving real estate, probate, construction, contracts, and other business-related issues
  • Draft pleadings, motions, briefs, discovery, settlement documents, and other case materials
  • Represent clients in court, mediations, arbitrations, and other proceedings
  • Prepare cases for trial, including witness preparation, evidence strategy, and oral argument
  • Provide strategic legal counsel around risk, exposure, and case outcomes
  • Support clients on related transactional matters when needed, including agreements tied to real estate, development, construction, or business operations
  • Collaborate with internal attorneys and staff to deliver strong client service and practical legal solutions

Who You Are

  • Juris Doctor (JD) from an accredited law school.
  • Active license to practice law in Washington State and current, active membership in the Washington State Bar Association in good standing.
  • Minimum of 2 years of experience in litigation.
  • Strong trial and courtroom experience
  • Background handling matters related to real estate, probate, construction, and/or business disputes or related matters is a plus.
  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple cases and deadlines effectively.
  • Excellent oral and written communication skills, with the ability to articulate legal concepts clearly and persuasively.
  • Proficiency in legal research, case management software, and Microsoft Office Suite.

Benefits & Appreciation:

  • Lucrative compensation + bonus plans
  • Fully paid Medical/Dental/Vision for employees
  • 401k & Roth Plan
  • Holidays & PTO

Compensation: $110,000–$180,000 DOE + bonus
