Marler Clark, Inc. - Associate Attorney (Bainbridge Island, WA)

Marler Clark, Inc. is seeking an associate attorney with at least five years of litigation experience — personal injury, product liability, med-mal, or complex tort — who is ready to run cases, not just paper. Marler Clark has been suing the companies that poison people since 1993 and is the only law firm in the country that does nothing but foodborne illness. Marler Clark has had tens of thousands of clients and over $850 million recovered, but there is more work than there are lawyers to do it.

An associate attorney at Bill Marler, Inc. will file in federal and state courts across the country, write the settlement demand letters that resolve most cases before anyone sees a courtroom — the medical chronology, the liability analysis, the damages model, all of it yours — take and defend depositions of plant managers and epidemiologists, work up hemolytic uremic syndrome, Listeria meningitis and Salmonella reactive arthritis cases with the best experts in the field, sit with families in hospital rooms, and try cases. The docket is national; you will be on airplanes. It has been international as well — outbreaks in Europe, Asia and Africa. You will be trusted early and often.

Candidates should be licensed and in good standing somewhere, admissible pro hac vice everywhere else (Washington admission is not required), have real deposition experience, the writing chops to draft a complaint that reporters quote, and the stomach for what an outbreak does to a child. A science background is a bonus, not a requirement. The microbiology can be taught.
