Be Part of a Team Doing Exceptional Work

Our Scottsdale office represents clients throughout Arizona in a diverse range of complex insurance defense matters, including catastrophic injury and wrongful death, personal injury, premises liability, construction litigation, commercial liability, insurance coverage, and bad faith litigation.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys being hands-on, takes pride in creating efficient processes, and understands the importance of strong communication and reliable support.

At Tyson & Mendes, office managers are valued partners in the success of our teams, not simply administrators.
