Descripción del empleo

Bring your book. Build your practice. Lead at one of Utah’s leading insurance defense firms.

JSH is looking for an established litigation partner to join our growing practices. This is a role for a proven trial lawyer who wants the backing of one of the largest and most experienced trial and appellate firms in the Southwest - trusted by major carriers across the region - without giving up the autonomy of running your own practice.

You’ll step into a leadership role from day one: trying cases, arguing motions, and standing before juries and arbitrators, while mentoring the next generation of JSH trial lawyers.

What sets JSH apart

• A firm-wide culture built around real courtroom and arbitration experience, not document review
• Established relationships with major carriers across the Southwest to support your practice
• Transparent, equity-driven partnership structure with a competitive bonus on top of base
• Infrastructure and support staff so you can focus on trying cases and growing your book
• A culture where partners are treated as small business owners, with the freedom to build and keep their own book of business

What we’re looking for

• Utah Bar member in good standing
• 6+ years in civil litigation and/or insurance defense, with substantial first-chair trial and arbitration experience
• A proven track record with depositions, discovery, motions practice, and court appearances
• Insurance defense background (auto, bad faith, construction, GL, med mal, PI, premises, product, professional, transportation, etc.) strongly preferred
• An existing book of business or strong business development track record a plus
• Someone who wants to win for clients and lead a team that does the same

The bottom line

Strong compensation, full benefits, and a firm that gives established trial lawyers the platform to grow their practice.

Jones, Skelton & Hochuli is an equal opportunity employer.
