What is civil litigation?

Civil litigation is the legal process used to resolve non-criminal disputes between individuals, businesses, or organizations in a court of law. Common examples include disputes over contracts, property, personal injury, or employment issues. The process typically involves filing a lawsuit, exchanging information through discovery, negotiating settlements, and possibly going to trial. Civil litigation aims to resolve issues and award damages or other remedies to the aggrieved party. Unlike criminal cases, civil litigation does not involve charges or penalties for breaking the law, but rather seeks compensation or specific actions.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in civil litigation?

To thrive in Civil Litigation, you need a strong background in legal research, case analysis, and advocacy, typically supported by a law degree and bar admission. Familiarity with legal research databases (such as Westlaw or LexisNexis), case management software, and e-discovery tools is often required. Exceptional negotiation, written and verbal communication, and time management skills help civil litigators stand out. These abilities are crucial for effectively representing clients, managing complex cases, and achieving favorable outcomes in and out of court.

What are some common challenges faced by civil litigation professionals, and how can they be managed effectively?

Civil litigation professionals often encounter challenges such as managing large caseloads, meeting tight court deadlines, and handling complex documentation. Effective organization and strong time management skills are essential to keep up with filings and court schedules. Additionally, clear communication with clients and collaboration with colleagues, such as paralegals and other attorneys, help ensure thorough case preparation and minimize errors. Developing proficiency with legal research tools and case management software can also streamline workflow and ease common pressures in this role.

What is the difference between Civil Litigation vs Family Law?

AspectCivil LitigationFamily Law
Required CredentialsJurisdiction-specific law degree, bar admissionJurisdiction-specific law degree, bar admission
Work EnvironmentCourts, law firms, corporate legal departmentsCourts, law firms, family courts
Industry UsageBusiness disputes, contracts, propertyDivorce, child custody, adoption

Both Civil Litigation and Family Law require law degrees and bar admission. Civil Litigation focuses on resolving disputes between parties over contracts, property, or business issues, often in a courtroom or legal setting. Family Law specializes in legal matters related to family relationships, such as divorce and child custody. While they share similar credentials and work environments, their case types and client focus differ significantly.

How to become a civil litigator?

To become a civil litigator, you typically need to earn a bachelor's degree followed by a Juris Doctor (JD) degree from an accredited law school. After passing the bar exam in your jurisdiction, gaining experience through internships or clerkships and developing strong research, writing, and advocacy skills are essential for practicing in civil litigation.

Job description

About the Opportunity

We are expanding our civil litigation team and are hiring Arizona-licensed attorneys. This is an opportunity for attorneys who want to litigate, not spectate — you will handle real hearings, draft substantive motions, work directly with clients, and build a portfolio of meaningful litigation experience starting the day you join the team!

Whether you have a few years of practice or are newly barred, this role offers an accelerated path to becoming a seasoned litigator.

What Makes This Role Stand Out

*** Immediate courtroom and motion practice — real hearings, real cases, real responsibility

*** Fast-paced litigation development — learn dispositive motions, depositions, mediations, arbitrations, trial skills

*** Mentorship that actually accelerates your growth — hands-on training and continuous feedback

*** Structured workflow & autonomy — we don’t micromanage; we train you, trust you, and let you take ownership

*** A collaborative team culture — motivated litigators who help each other win

*** Career growth built in — strong performers advance quickly and take on leadership roles

*** Substantive writing practice — MSJs, MTDs, discovery motions, evidentiary workups, and more

*** Litigation experience that builds a real career — not back-office work, not doc review

If you want to be a confident, capable litigator, this is the job.

Compensation

  • Base Annual Salary: $110,000-$135,000
  • Monthly Bonus: $1,000 monthly incentive-based bonus (most attorneys achieve the monthly standard while maintaining a regular work schedule)
  • Annual Bonus: Unlimited potential depending on the Firm's performance and your contribution to success. In many cases, an Associate can earn a bonus over $20,000 at the end of their first year!
  • Regular Raises: Each associate is periodically evaluated and transparently informed of the Firm's criteria and the Associate's eligibility for a raise. 
  • Monthly Retirement Plan Contribution: With no contribution requirement from the Associate, the Firm contributes $750 to the Associate's pension each month.
  • The opportunities at a growing firm are endless!

Who Should Apply

We welcome:

  • Attorneys who WANT TO LITIGATE
  • Recent bar passers
  • Judicial law clerks seeking direct courtroom experience
  • Associates in other practice areas (family, corporate, criminal, immigration, debtor's rights, HOA, real estate, etc.) looking to pivot into full-time litigation

Most importantly:

You should want to grow, take ownership, and get into litigating early and often.

Practice Areas You’ll Touch

We handle a wide variety of civil litigation, including:

  • Tort and personal-injury
  • Property and contract disputes
  • Business and commercial litigation
  • Premises cases
  • Construction-related matters
  • Medical Malpractice
  • General civil disputes
  • Pre-lawsuit investigations
  • Discovery practice, hearings, and trial

Requirements

  • Licensed and in good standing in Arizona
  • Independent, curious, and most importantly, WANT TO LITIGATE

Benefits:

  • Dental insurance
  • Health insurance
  • Vision insurance
  • Paid time off
  • Professional development 
  • Licensing and fees
  • Retirement plan

Work Location: Preferred in-office/flexible depending on performance
