Litigation Attorney

Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced Litigation Attorney to join our firm and represent clients in a broad range of civil disputes.

Our litigation practice includes business, real estate, estate and trust disputes, construction matters, contract claims, employment disputes, and insurance coverage issues. This role is ideal for a litigation attorney who is comfortable managing cases independently while working collaboratively within a team environment. While this role involves exposure to a broad range of civil litigation matters, attorneys have the opportunity to develop deeper focus in specific types of litigation—such as construction, estate disputes, business partnership disputes, or insurance coverage—where client demand and case volume support that specialization.

You will represent business owners, fiduciaries, property owners, and individuals in complex and high-stakes disputes, delivering practical, strategic advocacy aligned with our clients’ long-term goals.

Depending on experience and interest, this role may also include opportunities to engage in related advisory or transactional matters within the firm.

  • Manage civil litigation matters from initial assessment through resolution
  • Draft pleadings, motions, and legal memoranda
  • Conduct written discovery and depositions
  • Appear in court for hearings, motions, and trial proceedings
  • Participate in mediation and settlement negotiations

Client & Case Management

  • Serve as primary attorney on assigned matters

  • Experience with business or commercial litigation
  • Experience with real estate disputes
  • Construction litigation experience
  • Experience handling TEDRA or estate-related litigation
  • Insurance coverage litigation experience
  • Trial experience
  • Licensed in Idaho

How Success Is Measured

  • Living our core values
  • Delivering strategic, well-reasoned advocacy
  • Managing cases efficiently and meeting deadlines
  • Communicating clearly and consistently with clients
  • Exercising sound professional judgment
  • Being a strong, collaborative member of the firm
  • Converting excellent client service into measurable economic value for the firm

Some attorneys focus primarily on motion practice and strategy, while others build toward trial leadership. We are committed to aligning responsibilities with demonstrated strengths and long-term growth.
