Job description

Corvia Consulting is assisting a growing Seattle plaintiff’s firm with the confidential search for a Senior Associate Attorney.

The best attorneys are not always actively looking—but you may be ready for more ownership, greater influence, stronger client relationships, and the opportunity to help shape a firm’s growing litigation practice.

You will work directly with the Founding Attorney, take ownership of meaningful personal injury cases, and help strengthen the firm’s litigation processes and client experience.

Why This Role Is Different

• This is not a large firm where you will be one of dozens of attorneys, nor is it a solo practice where every responsibility falls on you.
• You will join a collaborative, close-knit team that values your experience, welcomes your ideas, and gives you autonomy without requiring you to carry the weight of running an entire practice.
• The firm has served individuals and small business owners for more than 15 years. Many clients are immigrants, professional drivers, and entrepreneurs navigating difficult injuries and an unfamiliar legal system. The firm prioritizes trust, clear communication, genuine relationships, and exceptional legal representation.

What You’ll Do

• Manage personal injury matters from litigation through resolution
• Develop case strategies and maintain meaningful client relationships
• Negotiate directly with insurance companies and defense counsel
• Draft, file, and argue motions in Washington Superior and Federal Courts
• Draft and respond to written discovery
• Conduct and defend depositions
• Handle arbitrations, mediations, hearings, and settlement conferences
• Prepare cases for trial when necessary
• Collaborate with the team to improve systems, processes, and client service
• Use technology, including Clio and AI-supported tools, to improve efficiency

You May Be a Great Fit If You

• Have meaningful plaintiff-side or insurance-defense litigation experience
• Enjoy negotiation, litigation, and direct client advocacy
• Want greater ownership of your cases and client relationships
• Communicate effectively with clients from diverse backgrounds
• Work independently while contributing to a collaborative team
• Are comfortable adopting technology and improving legal workflows
• Want to help build a growing practice rather than simply fill a position

Qualifications

• J.D. from an accredited law school
• Active Washington State Bar license or eligibility to waive into Washington
• Personal injury litigation experience preferred
• Strong insurance-defense litigators with deposition experience are encouraged to apply
• Experience negotiating with insurance companies
• Experience conducting and defending depositions
• Civil litigation and motion-practice experience
• Arbitration experience strongly preferred
• Willingness to work in person in downtown Seattle
• Performance-based bonuses
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Paid time off
• 401(k) with employer match
• Paid parking
• Long-term professional growth opportunities
