Job description

Associate Attorney

Associate Attorney | Nevada | Flexible/Remote

An active Nevada Bar license is required.

There is a difference between assisting on litigation and learning how to truly own a case.

Our Nevada team is looking for litigators who want meaningful responsibility, direct client relationships, and the opportunity to become stronger, more confident advocates.

Led by Partner Griffith Hayes, the team handles a broad range of civil defense matters throughout Nevada, including premises liability, bodily injury, auto liability, hospitality and casino matters, dealership-related litigation, and other general liability matters.

Griff believes attorneys grow by being trusted with real responsibility while still having an experienced leader available when they need guidance. He is accessible, invested in professional development, and gives attorneys room to manage their work without micromanagement.

Our attorneys aren't simply supporting someone else's files. Our Nevada practice operates in a highly flexible environment, and living in Las Vegas is not a requirement. Many appearances can be handled virtually, although attorneys travel when matters require in-person court appearances, trials, site inspections, trial preparation, or client needs.

New attorneys are intentionally integrated into the team, with regular communication and access to leadership as they become comfortable with the practice and their caseload.

Build the Lawyer You Want to Become

Whether you want greater case ownership, stronger client relationships, more courtroom experience, or opportunities to write, speak, and develop an area you're known for, Tyson & Mendes invests in the individual attorney as well as the firm.

You care about your clients and the quality of your work.

We're open to attorneys with strong litigation fundamentals who are interested in building a sophisticated civil defense practice.

Develop compelling case strategies that cut through emotional arguments and drive results

Collaborate seamlessly with attorneys and staff at all experience levels

Mentor and provide guidance to junior attorneys, contributing to team growth and success
