Stinson LLP seeks an Associate Attorney with at least four years of litigation experience to join our Phoenix office.

We prefer candidates with experience from a regional, national, or outstanding local law firm. 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;
• Proficiency handling e-discovery and fact development;
• The confidence to tackle complex fact, legal, and logistical issues with foresight; 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.

Qualified candidates will have at least four years of litigation experience and the ability to handle sophisticated litigation work at a national level. Active Arizona license or eligibility to become admitted to the Arizona bar is required.
