Plaintiff’s Litigation Attorney – Up to $250K + Bonus

Phoenix, AZ | 5+ Years | In-Office

Experienced litigator ready to make a move to the Plaintiff’s side? This one is worth a conversation.

Sonja Cotton & Associates is conducting a confidential search for an experienced Arizona-licensed Litigation Attorney to join a highly successful and respected Plaintiff’s law firm with an excellent reputation, strong case flow, with no shortage of new matters.

An established attorney is retiring, creating an unusual opportunity to step into an active practice rather than build one from scratch. The retiring attorney will provide approximately 30 days of transition and shadow training to help ensure a smooth handoff.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Base salary up to $250,000, depending on experience
• Realistic bonus potential of $50K–$60K+
• Established caseload and consistent flow of new cases
• Dedicated paralegal AND legal assistant for each attorney
• Approximately 30 days of transition training with retiring attorney
• Excellent opportunity for an entrepreneurial attorney who wants autonomy
• Terrific team and established Plaintiff’s practice
• Open to an attorney who would like to bring their own paralegal

Who We Want

We are looking for a confident, self-directed litigator with 5+ years of substantive litigation experience who can take ownership of cases and move them toward resolution.

Plaintiff’s experience is preferred, but strong defense attorneys who are genuinely motivated to move to the Plaintiff’s side are encouraged to apply.

Candidates should have:

• Active Arizona Bar license in good standing
• Strong mediation and arbitration experience
• At least one recent trial
• Excellent negotiation and case-management skills
• Strong client communication skills
• An entrepreneurial, results-oriented mindset
• The ability to work independently without extensive supervision
• A straightforward, honest and team-oriented personality

Many surgery-related matters are resolved within approximately one year, giving successful attorneys the opportunity to generate significant bonuses without waiting years for cases to conclude. This is an in-office position. The firm is looking for someone who wants to be part of the team and collaborate directly with attorneys and staff.

This is a terrific opportunity for an experienced litigator who wants top-tier compensation, substantial bonus potential, excellent support and plenty of quality cases to work on.
