Mid - Level Associate Attorney - Insurance Coverage

I'm partnering with a highly respected Seattle litigation boutique that is looking to add a Mid-Level Litigation Associate to its team. This is a compelling opportunity for an attorney who enjoys complex civil litigation, wants meaningful responsibility from day one, and is looking to build a long-term career within a collaborative and highly regarded practice.

The firm handles a sophisticated mix of matters, including insurance coverage disputes, business and commercial litigation, high-exposure personal injury cases, and trusts and estates litigation. Attorneys receive significant client contact, substantive case ownership, and direct mentorship from experienced litigators.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Sophisticated and diverse litigation practice
• Immediate, hands-on responsibility and client interaction
• Strong mentorship and professional development
• Collegial and team-oriented culture
• Hybrid work flexibility
• Competitive compensation with substantial bonus opportunities
• Clear path for long-term growth

Responsibilities

• Manage civil litigation matters through all stages of the case lifecycle
• Draft motions, briefs, memoranda, pleadings, and other litigation documents
• Conduct legal research and develop case strategy
• Handle discovery, depositions, mediations, and trial preparation
• Communicate directly with clients, opposing counsel, and experts
• Collaborate closely with partners on complex and high-profile matters

Requirements

• 4+ years of civil litigation experience in Washington
• Insurance coverage experience strongly preferred
• Strong academic credentials
• Exceptional legal writing and analytical skills
• Excellent organizational and interpersonal abilities
• Desire to take on increasing responsibility and sophisticated litigation work

Pay

Base salary: $142,000 - $225,000, depending on experience

• Performance bonuses:
  • $10,000 at 1,600 billable hours
  • $20,000 at 1,700 billable hours
  • $35,000 at 1,800 billable hours
• Discretionary year-end bonus

Benefits

• Disability and life insurance
• 401(k) with employer match
• Transportation allowance
• Hybrid work arrangement
• Ongoing training and career development support

This role is ideal for a litigation associate seeking higher-level work, greater responsibility, and the opportunity to join one of Seattle's most respected litigation practices. You must be currently authorized to work in the United States without the need for sponsorship for a non-immigrant visa.
