Associate Attorney

Breit Biniazan is a trial firm, and every great trial team is built outside the courtroom.

We are seeking an associate attorney to join our Phoenix office in a role that sits at the intellectual core of our practice. This attorney will serve as a key strategic partner to our trial lawyers, focusing on high-level legal research, persuasive writing, motions practice, discovery strategy, and meaningful client engagement. This is a position for someone who thrives on complex legal problems, unsettled law, and cases where the stakes are high and the likelihood of appeal is real.

At Breit Biniazan, legal research and writing are force multipliers. We take on difficult cases, challenge entrenched systems, and push courts to confront hard issues. Doing that well requires meticulous planning, creative legal thinking, and disciplined execution long before a case ever reaches a courtroom.

The associate attorney in this position will:

• Conduct sophisticated legal research on complex, often unsettled issues
• Draft and argue (in writing) dispositive motions, discovery motions, and appellate‑minded briefing
• Help shape case strategy through early issue‑spotting, legal analysis, and course correction
• Take an active role in discovery, including drafting and responding to written discovery and coordinating strategy with the trial team
• Maintain direct client contact and help clients understand both the legal landscape and strategic decisions
• Work closely with trial attorneys to frame issues for courts at every stage of litigation

There is no expectation of courtroom appearances, depositions, or trial presentation unless the attorney wants to pursue that path. That said, curiosity and engagement with the full life of a case are necessary elements of the position.

We are looking for a lawyer with 2–5 years of experience who:

• Enjoys deep legal analysis and clear, persuasive writing
• Takes pride in precision, rigor, and intellectual honesty
• Is comfortable working on cases where the law is developing and the outcome is uncertain
• Understands that shaping the law requires patience, discipline, and strategy
• Values collaboration and sees themselves as an essential part of a larger mission

Prior plaintiff‑side experience is not required
. What matters most is how you think, write, and engage with hard problems.

Breit Biniazan has built its reputation by challenging the status quo and taking on cases others avoid. We believe trial lawyers should also be exceptional legal thinkers—and that requires lawyers whose primary craft is research, writing, and strategy. This role is essential to how we win, how we appeal, and how we push courts and opposing counsel to meet a higher standard.

• If you see legal writing as advocacy, research as power, and preparation as a form of leadership, this role was built for you.
