Associate Attorney, Employment or FCRA Litigation | Gilbert, AZ (Hybrid)

Hippensteel Law Firm is a Gilbert, Arizona practice that represents employees, consumers, and business owners. We’re adding attorneys in two practice areas, and we’ll place you where your experience and interests fit best. Clients work directly with their attorney.

We’re a modern firm, and we work like one. Intake, drafting, deadlines, and case tracking run on systems we built ourselves. Demand letters, complaints, and discovery start from firm-tested workflows, so your time goes to judgment, strategy, and clients instead of formatting and file-chasing. We run with clear quarterly priorities and a weekly scorecard. Your value here isn’t a timesheet. It’s the matters you move, the outcomes you get, and the clients you take care of. Our top values are Own It, Kind Not Nice, and Get It Right.

Employment track

You’ll represent Arizona employees in wrongful termination, discrimination, retaliation, and wage cases. You’ll own a docket from first consult through settlement, hearing, or trial. That means demand letters, EEOC and Arizona Civil Rights Division matters, complaints in state and federal court, and negotiating with employers and their counsel.

FCRA track

You’ll litigate credit reporting error cases nationwide against the major credit bureaus, furnishers, and banks. The work is federal court litigation under 15 U.S.C. § 1681 and related consumer protection claims, built on a repeatable case process and a steady flow of matters.

Either way, you’ll

\n
• Draft pleadings, motions, and discovery
\n
• Advise clients in plain language
\n
• Negotiate settlements and handle mediations
\n
• Take a matter from intake to resolution with confidence
\n

What we’re looking for

\n
• JD and active Arizona bar admission
\n
• Litigation experience. A strong litigation background matters most.
\n
• Plaintiff-side experience is a plus. If you come from the defense side, we want to hear why you’re drawn to representing employees and consumers.
\n
• Strong writing and advocacy, with real courtroom or hearing experience
\n
• Comfort with modern tools, and a willingness to change how you work when something better exists
\n
• Ownership: you see a problem and fix it
\n
• Employment track: experience with Arizona and federal employment statutes
\n
• FCRA track: federal court experience. Consumer protection experience is a plus, but we’ll teach the statute.
\n

What we offer

\n
• Base salary plus a performance bonus tied to fees from your matters
\n
• Full-time hybrid in Gilbert; all remote right now, but shifting to 1-2 days in the office sometime next year
\n
• A docket and direct client contact from the start
\n
• A small team and systems that cut the busywork
\n
