Midlevel Transactional Indian Law Associate—Seattle, Washington
Miller Nash’s lawyers are proud to provide legal counsel and guidance to tribal governments, organizations, and enterprises in many areas, including cannabis, gaming, tax, liquor, real estate, construction, intellectual property, labor and employment, data privacy, and other economic development matters. We are looking to expand our experienced Tribal team by adding an associate attorney with 2-4 years of experience with, and a passion for, addressing the complex transactional needs of tribes and tribal enterprises, as well as non-tribal clients in transactions with tribes and tribal enterprises.
The ideal candidate for this position will possess an understanding of the nuanced legal issues that arise in transactions involving tribes and tribal enterprises, and specific experience working with tribes and tribal enterprises on sophisticated legal issues, including:
- financing projects;
- drafting tribal code provisions and resolutions;
- advising tribes on Tribal constitutions, bylaws, codes, and policies; and
- reviewing contracts and advising on day-to-day operations of enterprises, including on issues related to advertising, procurement, property damage, employment, patron exclusion, and compliance with codes and policies.
This position will not focus on environmental or natural resources law.
We are looking for a team member who is hard working and responsive, exercises good judgment under pressure, has excellent research and writing skills, is self-directed while maintaining the ability to work in a team environment, and will be ready to hit the ground running on immediate client needs. This position will be based out of our Seattle, Washington office, but hybrid work options will be available and fully remote work arrangements may be considered.
Membership in the Washington State Bar Association or qualification for reciprocity is required.
