As of the end of 2016, he retired from active representation of clients. In later years of his practice Jay was invited by a broad array of lawyers and insurance carriers to mediate cases in Longshore and Harbor Worker, Defense Base Act, and complex workers’ compensation claims. He has continued to perform that service through Causey Mediation since 2017. His mediation work has enjoyed a high rate of success in bringing cases to resolution, in Washington and a number of Western states.
Two current Causey Wright employees, Kit Case and Monica Bell, have both worked under Jay’s tutelage for three decades. Brian Wright has taken over ownership and management of the firm after years of working with Jay. Our way of thinking, our systems, and our reputation were founded by the work of Jay Causey.
Jay has served as a member of the WILG Board of Directors since 1995, served as its first vice-president (1995-1999), its second president from 1999-2001, and in 2001 was the creator of WILG’s periodical magazine, Workers’ First Watch. He has been an editor of the magazine since its inception.
