A lateral partner hire on this brief turns on the portability of the practice, far more than on any headline figure.

Seeking a partner to lead and grow an established employment and labor practice in the Seattle office. The role will involve advising employers on a broad range of employment, labor and benefits matters, handling litigation and counseling clients on compliance and workplace policies.

The successful candidate will join a team that handles complex, high‑profile matters for regional and national employers and will have opportunities to originate work, mentor junior lawyers, and expand practice capabilities in the Pacific Northwest.

Portable book of business of $2M+ (USD)
Proven partner-level experience in employment and labor law, including counseling and litigation
Admission to practice in Washington state (or ability and willingness to transfer)
Track record of business development and client relationship management

If the fit is not obvious on paper, it is usually still worth talking — partner briefs move with the candidate.
