Associate Attorney, Litigation.

Lifetime Legal, PLLC is a well-established, reputable law firm in the South Puget Sound with offices in Olympia and Shelton, Washington. The firm consists of three principal attorneys and ten support staff: paralegals, administrative assistants, and office managers. The firm’s practice is primarily comprised of estate planning, probate and trust administration, adult guardianship, conservatorship (adults and minors), Medicaid planning, and special needs trusts planning.

Our office culture is collaborative and professional. We are committed to giving back to our community and we participate in community-service activities throughout the year; we are also committed to maintaining a strong, team-oriented culture and we foster this by hosting lunches, happy hours, team-building activities, and seizing opportunities to celebrate each other’s important life moments.

We care deeply about our clients. We strive to provide sound, comprehensive advice to clients who are planning for end-of-life and winding up the affairs of loved ones. When conflicts arise, we do our best to help our clients (largely fiduciaries) engage with beneficiaries of estates/trusts to achieve reasonable resolutions outside of the courtroom.

When resolutions cannot be reached outside the courtroom, we often refer our clients to outside counsel with litigation experience. We are now looking for a litigation attorney to join our firm.

Candidates should have two years of high conflict litigation experience in any area, but experience in probate/trust administration, vulnerable adult protection orders, and real property (including unlawful detainer) is preferable. Candidates who come with an established book of business are desirable. Strong writing skills and strong oral advocacy are required. Confidence, self-awareness, and strong attention to detail are additional qualities we believe will make a candidate successful at this firm and in this area of practice.

Salary is competitive and dependent upon experience with a bonus incentive fee structure. We offer medical and dental insurance coverage, paid holidays, vacation time, malpractice insurance, membership dues, and CLE costs. We offer flexibility in the work schedule, including some remote work, for this full-time job.

Please submit the following materials:

1.    Cover Letter

2.    Resume with professional references

Starting salary: $100,000.
