General Liability Associate | Portland, Oregon

A well-established national law firm is seeking a General Liability Associate to join its Portland office. This is an excellent opportunity for a litigation attorney looking to gain hands-on experience handling complex liability matters while working alongside accomplished trial lawyers in a collaborative and growing practice.

The ideal candidate will have 2-7 years of litigation experience, strong research and writing skills, and experience managing cases through all phases of the litigation lifecycle. While insurance defense experience is preferred, the firm is also interested in talented litigators from other practice areas who are looking to broaden their experience in a sophisticated defense practice.

Qualifications:

• 2-7 years of litigation experience
• Strong legal research, writing, and analytical skills
• Ability to manage multiple matters in a fast-paced environment

Why Consider This Opportunity?

• Join a nationally recognized general liability practice with a substantial litigation platform
• Work on significant exposure cases involving personal injury, property damage, and other complex liability claims
• Gain experience handling catastrophic injury, wrongful death, and high-stakes litigation matters
• Collaborate with seasoned trial attorneys known for achieving exceptional defense results
• Receive meaningful responsibility and client interaction from an early stage
• Exposure to hearings, depositions, arbitrations, and trial work
• Strong mentorship and professional development opportunities
• Open to attorneys with diverse litigation backgrounds, not solely insurance defense experience
• Be part of a growing office and supportive team environment

This opportunity is ideal for a litigation associate seeking sophisticated case work, increased courtroom exposure, and a clear path for professional growth within a respected national platform.
