We require top academic performance from a nationally-ranked law school, strong writing and analytical skills, effective communication and interpersonal skills and the ability to work in a collegial team environment. We value any previous business or academic experience. All candidates must be admitted to the Arizona Bar or willing to sit for the Arizona Bar.
Our most successful hires are often lawyers with ties to the Southwest, coming to us after stints with BigLaw firms. These lawyers have thrived in an environment where they continue to have a sophisticated corporate practice, but also experience the quality of life offered by Arizona’s outdoor lifestyle, family-friendly pace of life, and low cost of living. We pride ourselves on providing our young lawyers with significant opportunities for community leadership and client development success — opportunities often unavailable with other firms and in other legal markets.
