The Civil Services Division of the Maricopa County Attorney's Office serves as a law firm that provides legal representation and advice to Maricopa County, its various elected officials and agencies, as well as the dedicated employees of Maricopa County. Our division has four practice groups : Litigation, Governmental Advice, Human Resources / Behavioral Health, and Appeals / Elections. The Litigation Practice Group consists of attorneys, paralegals, and administrative assistants who work in a collaborative environment to defend legal actions, lawsuits, and claims brought against the County and its various agencies, elected officials, and employees. The group also represents Maricopa County in environmental and zoning enforcement claims and condemnation matters.

The current recruitment is for a senior-level attorney position within the Litigation Practice Group. The main focus of this senior-level position involves representing Maricopa County, its agencies and elected officials, and employees in all levels of litigation in State and Federal Courts. The senior litigator will be responsible for handling a variety of cases, including state law tort claims (e.g., trip and fall, car accidents, or road design cases); 42 U.S.C. 1983 claims of deliberate indifference, excessive force, and wrongful death; and, when needed, environmental and zoning enforcement matters. The senior litigator will be entrusted to lead a litigation team while handling those cases, directing the course of the defense of the litigation, as well as working closely with the clients and adjustors in Maricopa County Risk Management to bring about a successful resolution, including taking the case to trial if necessary.
