Seattle, Washington | Plaintiff-Side Employment Litigation

SEATTLE EMPLOYMENT LAW ATTORNEYS — THIS IS ONE TO WATCH.

Elements Law Recruiting is partnering with one of our longest-standing law firm clients as they make a major investment in the continued growth of their Washington employment law practice.

This isn’t simply another associate opening.

It’s an opportunity to join a rapidly expanding plaintiff-side employment practice backed by an established firm, sophisticated infrastructure, exceptional leadership, and a genuine commitment to developing attorneys for the long term.

For attorneys who want serious litigation experience, high-level training, meaningful responsibility, and a clear path for career growth, this is the type of platform that can change the trajectory of a career.

THE OPPORTUNITY

The firm is seeking talented attorneys to join its growing Seattle employment litigation team, working on sophisticated plaintiff-side matters involving:

• Class Action Wage & Hour Litigation
• Individual Employment Litigation
• Wrongful Termination
• Wage and Hour Claims
• Other complex employment-related disputes

Attorneys will have the opportunity to develop meaningful litigation experience while working alongside experienced leadership and a strong legal support infrastructure.

WHY THIS TEAM?

Exceptional Leadership

Work alongside accomplished employment litigators who understand how to develop attorneys, build teams, and grow a sophisticated practice.

This is not a sink-or-swim environment. Attorneys receive hands-on guidance, mentorship, and the resources necessary to become stronger litigators.

The firm is investing heavily in Washington, creating opportunities for attorneys who want to grow with the practice rather than simply fill another associate seat.

Strong Support Infrastructure

Attorneys are backed by experienced paralegals, legal assistants, intake professionals, and operational support so they can focus on practicing law and developing their cases.

No Traditional Billable-Hour Grind

Move away from the constant pressure of traditional defense-side billable requirements while continuing to handle sophisticated litigation.

Competitive Compensation

The firm is committed to attracting exceptional legal talent and offers highly competitive compensation based on experience and the value an attorney can bring to the team.

WHO WE WANT TO SPEAK WITH

We are interested in attorneys from a variety of litigation backgrounds, including:

• Plaintiff-side employment attorneys
• Defense-side labor & employment attorneys interested in transitioning to plaintiff work
• Wage and hour litigators
• Employment litigation associates seeking greater responsibility and career upside
• Strong civil litigators interested in building a long-term career in employment law

Washington Bar admission is strongly preferred.

Most importantly, we’re looking for attorneys who are ambitious, polished, coachable, and ready to become an important part of a growing Seattle practice.

WHY MAKE THE MOVE?

Sometimes the strongest career opportunities aren’t about leaving a bad situation.

They’re about recognizing when a better platform becomes available.

If you’re performing well at your current firm but wondering what your career could look like with better mentorship, stronger support, sophisticated work, meaningful growth potential, and leadership that is genuinely investing in Washington, we should talk.

Seattle is growing. The opportunity is growing with it.
