• Communicate proactively with clients about case status, deadlines, and tasks.

• Conduct discovery, including written requests, depositions, and subpoenas.
• Perform legal research and apply findings to complex factual scenarios.
• Represent clients in probate court (and other courts in related proceedings), including hearings, trials, and appeals.
• Prepare cases thoroughly for mediation, trial, or settlement discussions.
• Track and meet deadlines, court requirements, and internal workflows.
• Actively collaborate with other attorneys and team members.
• Take ownership of cases with increasing independence.
• Mentor junior attorneys and contribute to firm‑wide collaboration.
• Work directly with clients facing challenging, high‑stakes disputes.

Qualifications

• 3‑6 years of experience in complex civil litigation (probate/trust/estate litigation preferred; commercial, real estate, or contract litigation experience acceptable).
• Active license to practice law in Arizona.
• Excellent written and oral advocacy skills.
• Strong research, organizational, and time‑management abilities.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office and legal research platforms.
• Professionalism, integrity, and compassion for clients in difficult circumstances.
• A desire to grow in a specialized, impactful area of law.
• Leadership skills and desire to mentor junior attorneys.
