Legal Aid Services of Oregon (LASO) seeks two Staff Attorneys for its Native American Program, located in Portland. These positions are eligible for a partial remote work option. Background LASO is a non-profit organization that represents low-income clients in civil cases.

The Native American Program of LASO provides free legal assistance to income-eligible Native Americans who are members of federally recognized tribes, including the nine federally recognized tribes in Oregon, as well as Native communities and organizations serving Native populations across the state—whether in urban centers, rural areas, or reservation-based communities. With deep ties to Oregon’s tribes, the LASO Native American Program plays a pivotal role in strengthening Native communities and advancing tribal sovereignty. The program specializes in legal matters related to self-governance, estate planning for trust resources, access to public benefits, expungement of criminal records, and representation in tribal court. In addition to direct legal services, the program offers community education on a broad range of legal issues impacting Native communities. Responsibilities The staff attorney will be responsible for maintaining a varied caseload, with an emphasis on representing eligible Tribe members in tribal, state and federal courts, as well as other legal services to Indian tribes and Native organizations.

Knowledge of federal Indian law, tribal law, and state law as it relates to Native people. Experience working in a Native American legal aid program or a similar setting is preferred. Excellent communication, leadership, and organizational skills. Culturally responsive and trauma-informed approach to client service and team leadership. Position requires current Oregon State Bar membership or eligibility for admission by reciprocity. Regular travel throughout Oregon, including some overnight travel, is required. Salary/Benefits Compensation is based on a 35-hour work week. Salary range is $66,200 – 73,700 for 0-5 years’ experience; $75,200 – 81,200 for 6-10 years’ experience and $82,700 - $105,200 for 11-30 years’ experience annually; salaries are determined by relevant work experience and our Collective Bargaining Agreement.
