Job description

Seattle, WA | Hybrid

Matterpointe is partnering with a well-established regional litigation firm to support the addition of a Litigation Associate as the practice continues to grow its West Coast footprint.

This role is designed for an attorney who wants meaningful responsibility early. The firm’s litigators are hands‑on, trial‑oriented, and collaborative—associates are not siloed into narrow tasks. You’ll be trusted with substantive work across the lifecycle of cases, from strategy through resolution.

What this role offers

• Direct exposure to partners and clients
• Responsibility for motion practice, discovery strategy, and depositions
• A culture that values preparation, judgment, and autonomy
• A sustainable approach to workload and expectations

What the firm is looking for

• 3–7 years of civil or commercial litigation experience
• Strong legal writing and analytical skills
• Comfort managing matters with minimal supervision
• Washington bar admission (or ability to waive in)

This is an opportunity for an associate who wants to grow into a long-term contributor, not remain in a support role indefinitely.
