Davis Wright Tremaine LLP is seeking a litigation attorney to support its cybercrime and intellectual property enforcement work for engagement through the firm's contract attorney and alternative staffing program, DWTSurge.

• An interest in working in a hybrid practice involving investigations, law enforcement referrals, and civil litigation.
• An ability to work on both high volume programmatic legal matters, and high-impact strategic complex litigation.
• Ability to work remotely for full-time hours, or at least 25 hours per week.
• Client-centric service mindset. High-level of responsiveness and client service abilities. Confidence managing deadlines and effective communication with clients about deadlines.
• Excellent writing and research skills, strong attention to detail, and ability to produce high quality work product with minimal supervision and direction.
