Description
Make an Impact. Build Your Career.
At The Blankenship Law Firm, we’ve spent more than 30 years fighting for fairness, equality,
and accountability in the workplace and beyond. Since our founding in 1994, we’ve earned a
reputation for taking on complex employment and civil rights cases that change lives.
We’re not a high-volume practice. We’re a cohesive results-driven team that selects cases with
purpose, giving every attorney the opportunity to think strategically, advocate passionately, and
grow meaningfully.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Impactful Work: Represent individuals who’ve been wronged and help create safer,
fairer workplaces. - Hands-On Experience: You won’t be a background player — you’ll draft, argue, and
lead early in your career. - Collaborative Culture: Work closely with accomplished litigators in a dynamic,
supportive, team-oriented environment. - Real Mentorship: Learn directly from seasoned trial attorneys who are invested in your
growth and success.
What You’ll Do
- Research, draft, and argue substantive motions, complaints, and trial briefs in state and
federal courts. - Take and defend depositions, develop discovery and trial strategies, and prepare
witnesses and experts. - Shape case strategy from day one — including mediation prep and trial presentation.
Communicate with clients with empathy, professionalism, and candor. - Manage multiple projects effectively while maintaining the highest standards of
advocacy.
Compensation & Benefits
- Competitive base salary: $110,000 – $180,000, plus performance-based bonuses.
- Medical insurance, retirement plan, and paid time off.
- CLE, bar dues, and professional development covered.
- Dedicated mentorship and early courtroom experience.
Requirements
What We’re Looking For
- Experience: Minimum of 2 years of civil litigation experience preferred, but we will also
consider new law school graduates with exceptional backgrounds such as work
experience, judicial clerkships, law review, or strong academic records. - Skills: Exceptional writing, analytical reasoning, and strategic judgment; deposition or
motion practice experience a plus. - Mindset: Passionate about justice, intellectually curious, and energized by
collaboration and growth. - Licensure: Active Washington Bar license required.
How to Apply
Send your resume, two writing samples (including one substantive brief), and 2–3 references to careers@blankenshiplawfirm.com. Optional: Include up to 200 words describing a litigation moment you’re proud of.
