Our Pacific Northwest branch is based out of Seattle, WA, and we're looking for a litigation paralegal to work in Seattle, WA. You'd be joining a tight group of attorneys, legal assistants, paralegals, and staff who genuinely care about our clients and their recovery.

What You'll Do

This is a hands on litigation role where your day to day will shift between drafting documents and managing case logistics. Here's what the job actually involves:

The Skills That Matter Here

This job asks for some specific abilities. You need to read large quantities of text quickly ; medical records, briefs, case law ; with high comprehension. Priorities shift fast in this work; you've got to manage that independently. Think deductively. Extrapolate information. Move between the big picture and the fine print without losing your place.

A few other things: you can offer real compassion to people who are injured or in crisis. You're driven to win cases but not at the expense of doing right by clients. You enjoy finding creative solutions when problems pop up. And you know how to communicate deadlines or requirements clearly even when those conversations go upward to directors or attorneys.

A clear history of attention to detail ; maintaining standards matters here
