A Rare Seat for a Litigator Who Wants More Variety

Ifyou’rea Washington attorney with3–5 years of experienceandyou’veworked withUIM matters, first-party claims, or coverage issues, this is an opportunity to build a broader litigation practice without giving up the sophistication of insurance work.

The team has the feel of a boutique practice:accessible leadership, real collaboration, and meaningful responsibility;while giving you the resources, technology, training, and infrastructure of a national litigation firm.

This role is especially unique because youwon’tbe placed into a narrow practice lane.

You’llwork alongsidePartner David Heemann, whose practice spans insurance coverage, bad faith, claims management, general liability, auto liability, construction defect, and other complex insurance matters. David brings more than 20 years of experience, including significant in-house coverage counsel experience, and hasadvised onmatters with exposures exceeding $100 million.

For an attorney who wants to become a stronger, more versatile insurance litigator, this is a compelling place to do it.

Approximately 10% of the practice will involve first-party and coverage-related work, with theremainderconsisting of a diverse mix of tort litigation, including:

• Auto and UIM matters
• Premises liability
• Products liability
• Construction-related litigation
• Complex bodily injury claims
• Insurance coverage and first-party bad faith exposure
• High-value and unusual matters involving sophisticated liability issues

The variety is a major differentiator.

Youwon’tspend your career handling the same type of caseover and over. The team regularly workson matters involving complex legal issues, significant injuries, and unique clients;including litigation in which David has been appointed as aSpecial Assistant Attorney General to defend the State of Washington.

That breadth of work is difficult to find at many traditional insurance defense firms.
