Seattle legal recruitersLocated on a natural isthmus between Puget Sound and Lake Washington, Seattle, or the “Emerald City”, is the largest US city in the Pacific Northwest. With a metropolitan area that includes over 4 million inhabitants this “City of Goodwill” is a culturally diverse, rapidly growing seaport community with a thriving global economy. For talented lawyers who are seeking new career challenges Seattle is certainly an attractive destination.

Seattle has over 16,000 lawyers, most of whom practice at the city’s nearly 1900 law firms, 100s of corporations or numerous government agencies. The average base salary for a Seattle attorney is $111,345, and career-enrichment opportunities are available through these professional organizations:

  • Washington State Bar Association
  • King County Bar Association
  • East King County Bar Association
  • 2 ABA-accredited law schools
  • Other state and local bar associations with specific membership requirements

Requirements to Practice Law

To take the Washington Bar Exam, one must graduate from an ABA-accredited law school or complete the APR 6 Law Clerk Program and pay a $585 fee. Applications are also accepted from lawyers who have been licensed in another US jurisdiction for at least 3 of the past 5 years, or graduates of a foreign law school who meet certain requirements. Once you’ve passed the Bar Exam, there are 3 options for being sworn in and taking the oath of office.

To maintain a law license in Washington you must complete 45 hours of CLE every 3 years, including at least 6 hours in professional ethics and 15 credits on law and legal procedure. New admittees to the Bar are exempt from CLE during their first year and the following year. For more information about practicing law in Washington visit: www.lawyeredu.org.

Why Seattle?

Downtown Seattle provides a vibrant, multi-cultural setting for street festivals, art galleries, the performing arts, coffee houses and restaurants. The city’s thriving global economy is driven in part by 7 Fortune 500 companies, including Amazon, Starbucks, Expedia and Nordstrom. Many Seattle residents are employed in sectors like forestry, technology, travel, industrial services and retail. Primarily due to housing, the area’s cost of living is considerably higher than the national average, although utility and healthcare costs are quite reasonable.

The legal district in Seattle is located downtown near I-5, and some of the city’s best neighborhoods include Laurelhurst, Portage Bay, Bryant, Broadmoor and Phinney Ridge. Daily commuters take advantage of the many services offered through the Seattle Department of Transport (SDOT), including buses, light rail, ferries and water taxis. Air travelers have two hubs at their disposal- King County International Airport or Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.

In addition to its 5 major league sports teams, proximity to the ocean and numerous city parks, popular attractions in Seattle are Pike’s Place Market, Chihuly Garden and Glass, Woodland Park Zoo, the Space Needle, Sky View Observatory and Kerry Park. Seattle has a mild climate that produces an annual average of 152 sunny days, 38 inches of rain and 5 inches of snow. July is the warmest month, with daily highs near 76 degrees F, and January is typically the coldest month, with lows of around 37 degrees F.

Explore New Career Opportunities by Partnering with a Seattle Legal Placement Firm

A legal placement firm in Seattle can easily put you in touch with area law firms in need of new partners, associates or staff members, and often has a solid understanding of the moving and shaking up of positions at the local firms. Together, you can then review available prospects to determine when to explore an opportunity further or negotiate for terms in your best interest.

Communication between you, the legal recruitment firm, and any potential Seattle-based law firm or corporate legal counsel employer is kept minimal and discreet.
