Associate Attorney

The posting, as Tyson & Mendes LLP wrote it

Big Cases. A Close Team. Room to Become a Great Litigator.

Associate Attorney | Scottsdale, Arizona

An active Arizona Bar license is required.

You have the fundamentals. Now you want the experience that will take you further.

At Tyson & Mendes, our Scottsdale team is looking for an Associate Attorney with 3+ years of solid litigation experience , preferably in insurance defense, who is ready to take on sophisticated work, develop greater independence, and learn from highly experienced litigators.

Our Scottsdale office offers something increasingly difficult to find: the connection and visibility of a smaller team combined with the technology, training, clients, and resources of a national litigation firm.

Remote work opportunities are available.

If you are ready for more responsibility and want experienced leaders who will help you grow into it, we would love to meet you.

Work That Will Make You a Better Litigator

This is not a practice where associates simply move files from one deadline to the next.

Our Scottsdale attorneys handle sophisticated matters involving general liability, catastrophic injury, wrongful death, premises liability, professional liability, bad faith, employment, and other complex civil litigation.

As an associate, you will have opportunities to develop practical experience with discovery, depositions, motion practice, case strategy, client communication, mediation, expert work, and trial preparation.

As your skills and judgment develop, so will your responsibility.

Learn From Lawyers Who Know How to Win Cases

One of the greatest advantages of this opportunity is the leadership around you.

Our Scottsdale office is led by Sitar Bhatt, Scottsdale and Seattle Branch Office Managing Partner , an experienced Arizona litigator whose practice includes general liability, personal injury, premises liability, professional liability, employment, and bad faith litigation. Sitar also chairs Tyson & Mendes' Young Professionals Group, reflecting his investment in the development of attorneys earlier in their careers.

You will also have the opportunity to learn from Lynn Allen, Equity Partner and Southwest Regional Managing Partner , who brings more than 30 years of insurance defense and trial experience. Lynn has served as lead counsel in jury trials, arbitrations, appeals, and complex litigation involving wrongful death, products liability, premises liability, insurance coverage, bad faith, employment, and other significant matters.

Together, they offer associates something valuable: access to leaders with different perspectives, deep litigation experience, and a genuine understanding of how lawyers develop.

Small Team Means Greater Visibility

Our Scottsdale office has the feel of a boutique practice.

You can know the partners you work with. They can know your strengths, your goals, and where you need more experience. Your work is visible, your contribution matters, and there are opportunities to become an importa
