Job Description

About the Opportunity

We are expanding our civil litigation team and are hiring Arizona-licensed attorneys. This is an opportunity for attorneys who want to litigate, not spectate — you will handle real hearings, draft substantive motions, work directly with clients, and build a portfolio of meaningful litigation experience starting the day you join the team!

Whether you have a few years of practice or are newly barred, this role offers an accelerated path to becoming a seasoned litigator.

What Makes This Role Stand Out

• Immediate courtroom and motion practice — real hearings, real cases, real responsibility
• Fast-paced litigation development — learn dispositive motions, depositions, mediations, arbitrations, trial skills
• Mentorship that actually accelerates your growth — hands‑on training and continuous feedback
• Structured workflow & autonomy — we don’t micromanage; we train you, trust you, and let you take ownership
• A collaborative team culture — motivated litigators who help each other win
• Career growth built in — strong performers advance quickly and take on leadership roles
• Substantive writing practice — MSJs, MTDs, discovery motions, evidentiary workups, and more
• Litigation experience that builds a real career — not back‑office work, not doc review

If you want to be a confident, capable litigator, this is the job.

Compensation

• Base Annual Salary: $110,000-$135,000
• Monthly Bonus: $1,000 monthly incentive‑based bonus (most attorneys achieve the monthly standard while maintaining a regular work schedule)
• Annual Bonus: Unlimited potential depending on the Firm's performance and your contribution to success. In many cases, an Associate can earn a bonus over $20,000 at the end of their first year!
• Regular Raises: Each associate is periodically evaluated and transparently informed of the Firm's criteria and the Associate's eligibility for a raise.
• Monthly Retirement Plan Contribution: With no contribution requirement from the Associate, the Firm contributes $750 to the Associate's pension each month.
• The opportunities at a growing firm are endless!

Who Should Apply

We welcome:

• Attorneys who WANT TO LITIGATE
• Recent bar passers
• Judicial law clerks seeking direct courtroom experience
• Associates in other practice areas (family, corporate, criminal, immigration, debtor's rights, HOA, real estate, etc.) looking to pivot into full‑time litigation

Most importantly:

You should want to grow, take ownership, and get into litigating early and often.

Practice Areas You’ll Touch

We handle a wide variety of civil litigation, including:

• Tort and personal‑injury
• Property and contract disputes
• Business and commercial litigation
• Premises cases
• Construction‑related matters
• Medical Malpractice
• General civil disputes
• Pre‑lawsuit investigations
• Discovery practice, hearings, and trial

Requirements

• Licensed and in good standing in Arizona
• Independent, curious, and most importantly, WANT TO LITIGATE

Benefits

• Dental insurance
• Health insurance
• Vision insurance
• Paid time off
• Professional development
• Licensing and fees
