Complex Litigation Associate
EXCLUSIVE: Legal Ease, L.L.C. – Washington’s Attorney Placement Specialists since 1996 – has been exclusively retained to fill two complex litigation associate positions with a highly regarded boutique law firm in Seattle.
Both of these opportunities offer top of the market compensation, extremely sophisticated, complex work and verifiable work life balance. The law firm itself is long-established and well managed with excellent associate retention. The firm also offers a unique opportunity for only the highest quality attorneys to join a team where each lawyer is highly valued and works together in a collegial, though admittedly “intellectual” style.
One of the positions is a mid-senior associate level post requiring 4 + years experience. The other is a more junior position requiring 2+ years experience. Both positions require impeccable academic credentials and current or recent background in some type of sophisticated, highly complex, civil litigation.
Please inquire by submitting your resume in strict confidence to Lynda Jonas at ljonas@legalease.com.
