What are the responsibilities and job description for the Associate Attorney position at Northwest Registered Agent?
We’re looking for a skilled lawyer to join our brand new WA operations who can seamlessly balance sharp legal expertise with a positive, can-do attitude!
Law on Call is the nation’s first non-lawyer owned law firm authorized to operate in Arizona, Utah, and soon to be in Washington State. Law on Call’s vision is to provide access to legal advice and services to our clients over the phone for a small monthly fee. Subscribing clients can call and have access to an attorney immediately. They can also hire Law on Call for a wide range of legal services. Our practice currently focuses on business formations, transactions, contracts, employment issues, trademarks, and a wide range of legal issues faced by small businesses and business owners. We currently do not do any litigation. We are expanding our operations to Washington and are seeking an attorney with at least three (3) years of experience.
We’re not your typical legal team! Our organization combines professional excellence with a relaxed, collaborative, and fun work environment. While we take our work seriously, we believe in creating a workplace where everyone feels comfortable being themselves and contributing their unique talents.
