Job Description

Job Description

A premier global law firm is rapidly expanding its Seattle litigation team. We are actively recruiting multiple civil litigation attorneys (3+ years experience through senior counsel) to join a group focused primarily on coverage litigation, alongside commercial and catastrophic injury disputes.

\n

\n

If you want immediate courtroom experience, active partner mentorship, and direct client exposure rather than spending years in a back room cite checking briefs, this practice offers a rare environment to accelerate your career.

\n

\n

Why This Opportunity Is Different

\n

The partners in this group genuinely love litigation and actively invest in their team. They run an open door, collaborative office where partners regularly walk down the hall to pull associates into client strategy sessions, court appearances, and key negotiations.

\n

\n

You will handle a balanced mix of nimble, fast-moving cases that give you early hands-on leadership, alongside high-profile, complex international disputes.

\n

\n

Candidate Qualifications

\n
    \n
  • 3+ years of civil litigation experience. Strong core litigation skills (motion practice, discovery, case management) are required.
  • \n
  • For junior candidates, coverage litigation experience is a plus, but not required . The partners are fully committed to training and mentoring strong litigators who have the drive to learn the coverage space.
  • \n
  • We are hiring across multiple levels, from mid-level associates (3 to 6 years) to senior associates and highly experienced trial attorneys / special counsel who prefer executing high-level work without the pressure of a partnership track.
  • \n
  • Proactive self-starter with high initiative, strong organizational habits, and a genuine passion for advocacy.
  • \n
  • An in-office presence is valued to support organic collaboration and mentorship, but the leadership team offers genuine working flexibility once you are up and running.
  • \n
\n

\n

Compensation

\n
    \n
  • Senior Counsel / 20+ Years Experience: Highly competitive with substantial salary flexibility depending on background and expertise.
  • \n
