Job Description

Try cases. Arbitrate disputes. Build a career. Join one of Utah’s leading insurance defense firms.

At JSH, associates don’t just support partners - they try cases and arbitrate disputes with them. If you want a litigation career where you’ll be asking questions in depositions (not taking notes and passing exhibits), arguing motions, and standing before a jury or arbitrator in your first few years, this is that opportunity.

We’re one of the largest and most experienced trial and appellate firms in the Southwest and trusted by major carriers across the region. Our practices are growing, and we’re looking for a driven attorney with civil litigation or insurance defense experience to join a team known for developing exceptional trial lawyers.

What sets JSH apart:

  • Real courtroom and arbitration experience, not just document review     
  • Mentorship program + structured new lawyer training + in-house CLE
  • Clear, transparent six-year path to partnership
  • Transparent bonus structure on top of a competitive base salary
  • A culture where you can spend your entire career and become a small business owner, with the freedom that comes with having your own book of business

What we’re looking for:

  • Utah Bar member in good standing
  • 0-6+ years in civil litigation and/or insurance defense
  • Experience with depositions, discovery, motions practice, and court appearances a plus
  • Insurance defense background (auto, bad faith, construction, GL, med mal, PI, premises, product, professional, transportation, etc.) strongly preferred
  • Someone who wants to win for clients and has the drive to prove it

The bottom line: Good pay, full benefits, and a firm that will invest in making you a trial attorney.

Apply today, either online through UKG (LINK) or by sending your resume, writing sample, and salary requirement to attyrecruiting@jshfirm.com. JSH often responds within one business day.

Jones, Skelton & Hochuli is an equal opportunity employer.
