Job Type: Full Time

Practice Focus: Commercial and business litigation, construction disputes, insurance recovery

About the Firm

Our client is a Central Phoenix commercial litigation firm founded in 2017 to give businesses large-firm trained lawyers without the overhead and cost that usually comes with them. With more than 62 years of combined experience, the partners have grown the firm to include five additional attorneys.

Practice areas include:

• Business and commercial litigation
• Construction and construction litigation
• Insurance recovery and bad-faith claims
• Dispute resolution, including mediator and arbitrator services
• Outside general counsel services and estate planning

The Opportunity

The right person knows the Federal and Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure, is comfortable with court filing and procedural requirements, writes clearly, catches the details others miss, and can balance competing priorities for multiple attorneys without losing track of a deadline.
