Associate Real Estate Attorney

Local long established attorney firm with a practice emphasis on matters of Real Estate law, tax matters, business law and estate planning is seeking to hire one (1) experienced career associate attorney. While this is an entry level hire by the firm, the firm is unable at this time to entertain applications from candidates newly licensed or without any specific experience in the practice areas specified in this posting.
This position, from the standpoint of type of law work involved, will include a variety of both transactional Real Estate and business client work as well as light litigation relating to those same Real Estate and business matters. The firm has a separate litigation group emphasizing more complex litigation matters. Some specific and quantifiable experience in Real Estate transactions and litigation is a must. Any experience in tax, business and estate planning is certainly a plus as well. The firm presently does not state a specific time duration experience requirement as the quality of on-point Real Estate experience is more important than duration of such experience.
Notwithstanding, we are looking for at least 2 years of experience in matters related to Real Estate, business, tax and estate planning matters. We understand that many applicants will not have such broad experience. We appreciate interest from parties from out of state, but if you are NOT now licensed in Washington and NOT now actually practicing in Washington, please do not apply. Please do not respond if you do not have any experience in any of the practice areas indicated in this posting.
The firm requires strong organizational skills. The attorney must possess superior attention to detail. The firm operates as a team so this skill to work with others is very important.
The firm offers a very competitive salary. Excellent benefits are offered as well including a very generous bonus program. 401(k), medical insurance, dental insurance, vision insurance, disability insurance and vacation benefits are generously included in any employment package.
If you have energy. If you have maturity. If you can work well with others. If you have drive to assist our clients in a myriad of matters related to Real Estate law, business law, estate planning and tax matters; then you should apply for this full-time associate attorney position. This position works out of our office in Tacoma.
Please reply to this responsive email address. Please also include a cover letter. Please also take a bit of time in that cover letter to address your experience in our areas of practice AND your requested compensation. Please focus on actions that you can take from "Day One of Hiring" to help and assist the firm and our clients. You will be required to ultimately provide a writing sample if we contact you as a result of your initial inquiry.
We hold all inquiries in strictest confidence. All of our employees are aware of our advertising for this new position. We WILL hire this position and we will hold this job open just as long as necessary until we find the right and proper new attorney for the firm.
