Job Description
The Employment Services Practice Group of Davis Wright Tremaine LLP seeks to hire a Staff Attorney with a minimum of three years' legal experience to join one of our West Coast offices.

The ideal candidate will have experience with dealing with government agencies, including legal compliance and inspection counseling, resolving citations, responding for requests for documents, and representing employers in legal disputes arising out of enforcement actions. Prior law firm or in-house experience, and prior experience in safety or compliance, is strongly preferred.
