Job Description

Direct Counsel is seeking a talented and motivated Business Litigation Attorney in Salt Lake City for an AmLaw 100 firm . This is an excellent opportunity for a mid-level attorney to join a high-performing litigation team handling complex commercial disputes, pre-trial strategy, and trial preparation for sophisticated clients.

If you’re a sharp litigator who thrives in challenging, fast-paced environments and wants hands-on experience with significant cases, this role offers both growth and impact.

About the Role

The Business Litigation Attorney will support senior attorneys in all phases of complex business litigation — from case strategy and discovery through trial. You’ll handle key assignments independently, participate in client meetings, and gain meaningful courtroom and deposition experience.

This is a position for someone who enjoys strategic thinking, persuasive writing, and working collaboratively with a strong litigation team.

Key Responsibilities
  • Review case facts and provide strategic legal analysis and recommendations.

  • Prepare and argue pre-trial motions in state and federal courts .

  • Assist lead trial attorneys in case strategy, discovery management, and witness preparation .

  • Draft complex legal memoranda, motions, and pleadings.

  • Prepare and take depositions, including complex deponent testimony.

  • Independently manage smaller matters from intake through resolution with minimal supervision.

  • Prepare motions for summary judgment and assist in trial preparation.

Qualifications
  • Juris Doctor (JD) from an accredited law school with strong academic credentials.

  • Active UT license and in good standing.

  • 3–6 years of associate-level experience in complex business or commercial litigation.

  • Strong familiarity with federal and state court procedures and rules.

  • Excellent writing, drafting, and analytical skills.

  • Exceptional organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple cases effectively.

  • Strong communication, negotiation, and client service skills.

  • Ability to work collaboratively as part of a team while also managing tasks independently.

Why This Role Stands Out
  • Work on challenging, high-value business litigation matters with direct client exposure.

  • Gain hands-on courtroom experience early in your career.

  • Join a firm that values professional development, collaboration, and excellence.

  • Competitive compensation and a comprehensive benefits package.

  • Opportunity for long-term growth within a respected and expanding firm.
