Why This Is a Great Opportunity

  • Work directly with an experienced Arizona litigator on high-exposure commercial vehicle defense cases

  • Solid compensation DOE with room to grow based on performance and experience

    • Location

  • Primarily remote role based in Arizona

  • Phoenix office available for in-person work, meetings, and collaboration as desired

    • Note

  • Looking for 3+ years of insurance defense experience, with a strong preference for 5+ years

    • About Our Client

  • Our client is a boutique Arizona law firm that handles civil defense matters with a focus on insurance defense

  • The firm is led by seasoned trial counsel with decades of experience in Arizona courts

  • Matters typically involve defending insureds and businesses in commercial vehicle and trucking-related claims, not simple “blue car, red car” personal auto cases

  • Clients value the firm’s conscientious, experienced, and dedicated approach to litigation and risk management

    • Job Description

  • Defend insureds, motor carriers, and businesses in commercial vehicle and trucking accident litigation

  • Manage a litigation caseload from assignment through resolution, including discovery, motion practice, mediation, and trial preparation

  • Take and defend depositions of parties, fact witnesses, and experts

  • Draft pleadings, discovery responses, dispositive motions, trial briefs, and evaluation reports for insurers and corporate clients

  • Appear in Arizona state and, where applicable, federal courts for hearings, conferences, and trials

  • Evaluate case exposure and provide clear, timely reporting and recommendations to clients and carriers

  • Work collaboratively with firm leadership on case strategy, trial themes, and settlement posture

  • Maintain regular, professional communication with clients, co-counsel, opposing counsel, and the court

    • Qualifications

  • Juris Doctor (JD) from an accredited law school

  • Active Arizona Bar license in good standing

  • 3+ years of insurance defense experience required; 5+ years preferred

  • Strong background in automobile/commercial vehicle defense or general bodily injury defense litigation

  • Solid legal writing skills and comfort with motion practice and complex discovery

  • Ability to work independently in a primarily remote environment while staying responsive and organized

  • Professional, solutions-focused communication style with insurers and corporate clients

    • Why You’ll Love Working Here

  • Primarily remote structure with flexibility and trust in your ability to manage your caseload

  • Challenging, higher-exposure commercial vehicle defense work instead of routine low-value cases

  • Close collaboration with experienced trial counsel and the opportunity to sharpen your courtroom skills

  • Streamlined, small-firm environment without big-firm bureaucracy

  • Compensation commensurate with experience, with clear upside for strong litigators

    • JPC-500
