Employment Associate Attorney Jobs in Arizona (NOW HIRING)

Stinson LLP seeks a mid-level Associate Attorney with three to five years of litigation experience to join our Phoenix office.                                             

We prefer candidates with commercial litigation experience from a regional, national, or outstanding local law firm.  The ideal candidate will have experience litigating insurance coverage disputes, as well as matters involving antitrust, consumer fraud, consumer protection statutes, and related regulatory issues.  Exposure to complex class actions is helpful but not required.  Excellent writing, oral advocacy skills, and academics are required.  Clerkship and court experience are a plus.  The successful candidate should have the following experience and skills:

• Significant responsibility for pleadings, motions, and briefing on complex matters;
• Superior legal writing skills and attention to detail;
• Proficiency handling e-discovery and fact development;
• Ability to lead other team members in completing and implementing motion practice and discovery;
• The confidence to tackle complex fact, legal, and logistical issues with foresight;
• Experience taking and defending depositions;
• Experience appearing in state and federal court on motions and other pre-trial matters; and
• The ability to be strategic and analytical in addressing client challenges, both legally and economically.

The role requires a candidate with strong interpersonal skills, a high degree of maturity, a willingness to learn, and a desire to manage a challenging workload on work spanning high-stakes litigation, arbitration, and trial work.  We are relentlessly committed to client service and look for candidates who share that commitment.

Stinson has approximately 150 litigation attorneys (and over 500 total attorneys across the country) representing clients in state, federal, tribal and other courts and tribunals throughout the U.S.  We also often resolve matters without litigation by conducting investigations, engaging in pre-suit negotiations and employing alternative dispute resolution procedures such as arbitration and mediation. 

Qualified candidates will have three to five years of litigation experience and the ability to handle sophisticated litigation work at a national level.  Active license to practice in Arizona is required.

Please apply online.  Applicants should provide a resume, cover letter, unofficial law school transcript and a writing sample.  For questions, contact recruiting@stinson.com.
