Associate Attorney Law

Associate Attorney Associate Attorney | Nevada | Flexible/Remote An active Nevada Bar license is required. There is a difference between assisting on litigation and learning how to truly own a case. Our Nevada team is looking for litigators who want meaningful responsibility, direct client relationships, and the opportunity to become stronger, more confident advocates. Led by Partner Griffith Hayes, the team handles a broad range of civil defense matters throughout Nevada, including premises liability, bodily injury, auto liability, hospitality and casino matters, dealership-related litigation, and other general liability matters. Griff believes attorneys grow by being trusted with real responsibility while still having an experienced leader available when they need guidance. He is accessible, invested in professional development, and gives attorneys room to manage their work without micromanagement. Our attorneys aren't simply supporting someone else's files. Our Nevada practice operates in a highly flexible environment, and living in Las Vegas is not a requirement. Many appearances can be handled virtually, although attorneys travel when matters require in-person court appearances, trials, site inspections, trial preparation, or client needs. New attorneys are intentionally integrated into the team, with regular communication and access to leadership as they become comfortable with the practice and their caseload.
