About the role
We are looking for an experienced commercial litigation attorney to join a collaborative legal team in Scottsdale, Arizona. This position is suited for a lawyer with at least five years of practice handling disputes from initial case assessment through resolution, with the judgment and professionalism to manage a varied caseload. The role offers exposure to matters involving business conflicts, property-related disputes, tort claims, and contract issues, with an emphasis on strong advocacy, clear communication, and outstanding client service.
Responsibilities:
Lead commercial litigation matters through each stage of the case lifecycle, from early strategy and pleadings to settlement discussions, trial preparation, and final resolution.
Prepare persuasive motions, briefs, and other court filings that reflect strong legal analysis, attention to detail, and effective written advocacy.
Oversee discovery by drafting requests and responses, reviewing produced materials, and coordinating fact development to support case strategy.
Represent clients in hearings, depositions, conferences, and other litigation proceedings while maintaining a high standard of professionalism.
Advise clients on risk, case posture, and recommended legal strategies in a clear and practical manner throughout active matters.
Manage a diverse docket that may include contract disputes, real estate conflicts, tort claims, and broader business litigation issues.
Collaborate with attorneys and support staff to move matters forward efficiently while contributing to a team-oriented practice environment.
Support matters involving bankruptcy-related issues when applicable and integrate those considerations into overall litigation strategy.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
