Litigation Partner - UT

Bring your book. Build your practice. Lead at one of Utah’s leading insurance defense firms.

JSH is looking for an established litigation partner to join our growing practices. This is a role for a proven trial lawyer who wants the backing of one of the largest and most experienced trial and appellate firms in the Southwest - trusted by major carriers across the region - without giving up the autonomy of running your own practice.

You'll step into a leadership role from day one: trying cases, arguing motions, and standing before juries and arbitrators, while mentoring the next generation of JSH trial lawyers.

What sets JSH apart:

• A firm-wide culture built around real courtroom and arbitration experience, not document review
• Established relationships with major carriers across the Southwest to support your practice
• Transparent, equity-driven partnership structure with a competitive bonus on top of base
• Infrastructure and support staff so you can focus on trying cases and growing your book
• A culture where partners are treated as small business owners, with the freedom to build and keep their own book of business

What we’re looking for:

• Utah Bar member in good standing
• 6+ years in civil litigation and/or insurance defense, with substantial first-chair trial and arbitration experience
• A proven track record with depositions, discovery, motions practice, and court appearances
• Insurance defense background (auto, bad faith, construction, GL, med mal, PI, premises, product, professional, transportation, etc.) strongly preferred
• An existing book of business or strong business development track record a plus
• Someone who wants to win for clients and lead a team that does the same

The bottom line: Strong compensation, full benefits, and a firm that gives established trial lawyers the platform to grow their practice.
