Business/Corporate Transactional Attorney
Do any of these sound familiar to you?
It’s 8:30pm and you just put the kids to bed. You’d love to sit on the couch, watch Netflix, and just do nothing, but…
Or, you left work at 7:45pm for the last two nights in a row. You’re really excited to just leave at 5:00pm and not think about work, but…
Or, it’s Wednesday evening and you’re excited to see the band you bought tickets for two months ago, but…
BUT - instead, you’re opening your laptop, and doing work at home.
You tell yourself this is going to stop. You don’t want to sacrifice your life for your work. Do you?
We get it. We understand.
That’s why we created North x Northwest Law Group.
Here’s a little bit about us. We’re a small and thriving practice, and we just celebrated our fifth anniversary. At our recent open house party, client after client told us how much they value and appreciate everything we do for them. They raved about the quality of our work and our positive relationships. We know that this is why we do what we do.
So…what, exactly, do we do?
We’ve carved our niche as a 100% transactional law firm. We help our clients in three main areas: (1) business (M&A, formations, employment issues, contracts, etc.), (2) nonprofits (formation, tax exemption issues, employment issues, etc.); and (3) intellectual property (trademarks, copyright, licensing, and related issues).
Our goal is to be the top transactional law firm in Tacoma, WA. Yes, beautiful Tacoma. A hidden gem. From the NxNW office, we look at the blue waters of the Puget Sound - every single day. Located in the Old Town neighborhood means we’re minutes from amazing bars and restaurants. If boating and water sports are your thing, we’re five minutes from two marinas. Additionally, we’re about 45 minutes from Seattle or Olympia, and two hours from a national park. With Tacoma as our base, we can see a lot of what’s around the PNW. Oh, and did we mention that we don’t have the negatives of a big city, like parking seven blocks away from the office? We have free parking right out back.
All of our success, however, has created a problem. A good problem. We need another lawyer or two.
Here’s what we’re looking for:
One or two WSBA-licensed attorneys with transactional business experience
Experience with nonprofit and IP is a plus
The ability to brainstorm creative solutions and be a problem solver
Here’s what we offer in return:
Competitive base salary (up to $150K, depending on experience)
Generous monthly bonuses
A reasonable annual billable hour requirement (1400 hours/year)
Mentorship from an experienced and respected attorney
Intellectually stimulating legal work
A start to a long career at a great firm
Yes, we work hard but we also know how to have fun. Not the ‘mandatory’ corporate fun, but actual fun (like playing Scrabble or doing office DJ sessions on 70’s Japanese hi-fi gear).
There’s a lot more to being a lawyer at NxNW, and we know there is a lot more to you. This might be far-fetched, but we believe you can love the law, love the firm you work for, and actually feel excited to come to the office.
