• Work directly with experienced trial attorneys who are committed to mentorship and attorney development.

What We're Looking For

• Approximately 3+ years of litigation experience.
• Medical malpractice defense experience is a plus, but not required.
• Strong legal writing, analytical, and advocacy skills.
• Trial or deposition experience is highly valued.
• Washington Bar admission or ability to become licensed.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Hybrid/remote

• Convenient downtown Tacoma location with parking/commuter benefits.

This firm values practical litigation experience, strong writing ability, and a collaborative mindset over pedigree alone. Attorneys are encouraged to take ownership of their cases, develop trial skills, and build lasting careers within a supportive, high-performing team.
