Full Job Description
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 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.

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