Associate In Law Jobs in Arizona (NOW HIRING)

We've spent 16 years building a family law firm that doesn't feel like one. Twenty attorneys, four Arizona offices, and a client base that runs from legal clinic clients to families with $10M+ estates, with some matters north of $100M. The work is real, the cases are interesting, and the firm is built to let attorneys practice at a high level without the administrative drag most family law jobs come with.

We're hiring an experienced family law attorney who wants a real path, not a holding pattern.

Who You Are

• A practicing Arizona family law attorney with cases you've owned start to finish.
• Hungry to grow, not just to bill hours.
• Curious about technology and willing to use it. We mean that.
• Comfortable across the range, from high-conflict custody to complex high-asset matters.
• A good human. Clients are in the hardest moments of their lives, and we hire for the temperament that meets that.

Where This Can Go

Modern Law has a written six-level attorney career ladder: Associate, Advanced Associate, Senior, Managing, Non-Equity Partner, Equity Partner. Partnership is not a vague promise. The criteria for each level are documented, attorneys are actively progressing through them right now, and if becoming an owner of this firm is your goal, that is a conversation we can have on day one.

The Tools

We invest heavily in technology. AI tools, integrated practice management, and automation are built around how the work actually flows. You will not be the first person here trying to figure out how to use a new system, and you will not be doing work a machine should be doing for you.

The Work

Because the client base spans low-income to ultra-high-net-worth, you can delve into sophisticated, complex matters without losing the meaningful community work that keeps a family law practice grounded. You will not be pigeonholed.
