(520) 462-5110If you’re excellent at what you do, you already know how rare a good environment is.
Mulembo Law is a serious Arizona advocacy firm expanding across Tucson and Phoenix. We run on clear systems, high standards, and people who own their work. If you want a platform to perform — not a place to figure things out — you belong here.
Why Build Your Career Here?
Work That Actually Matters
Our clients come to us at the most turbulent moments of their lives — criminal charges, custody battles, serious injuries. The work you do here has real consequences for real people.
Radical Candor, In Both Directions
We say what we mean. You’ll always know where you stand, what’s expected, and how you’re performing. We expect the same from you.
Excellence Is Our Baseline
We provide the systems, caseload, and infrastructure — you bring the execution. Show up ready to work.
Growth That’s Built In
As we expand into the Phoenix Metro, new leadership roles open in legal, intake, operations, and administration. We hire from within first.
Open Roles
Supervising Attorney
You’re an experienced litigator who knows how to run cases and lead from the front. You want the platform, systems, and infrastructure of a growing firm — without carrying the administrative weight of building one yourself. You’ll handle complex matters across our practice areas and play a direct role in shaping case strategy as we scale.
Compensation: Base salary scales with bar date. Supervisors receive an additional differential on top of base. Merit-based raises reward sustained performance. Bonuses are tied to team KPI execution — if your team wins, you win. The full benefits package — including malpractice coverage, bar dues, and CLE — meaningfully increases your total compensation from day one, covering costs most small-firm attorneys currently absorb themselves.
Location: Onsite or hybrid depends on the role. Where hybrid is available, it’s earned through performance — not assumed.
Senior Paralegal
You’re organized, detail-oriented, and take real ownership over your caseload. You want to work somewhere that runs like a professional operation — not a firm where things fall through the cracks because no one owns the process. You’ll support active litigation and case management with clear expectations and direct feedback from leadership.
Compensation: Competitive hourly rate commensurate with experience, plus bi-annual bonus opportunities.
Location: Onsite or hybrid depends on the role. Where hybrid is available, it’s earned through performance — not assumed.
Office Manager — Tucson (Hiring December/January)
You keep operations running without being asked twice. You’re the person who sees what needs to happen before anyone else does and owns it end to end. This role manages the day-to-day administrative operations of our Tucson office — systems, vendors, scheduling, and the infrastructure the legal team depends on. This role reports to the COO.
Location: Onsite, Tucson.
Bilingual Differential
We serve a significant Spanish-speaking client base. Bilingual attorneys and staff receive a pay differential reflecting that value.
Always Accepting — Build Our Pipeline
We don’t wait for an opening to meet exceptional people. If you’re the kind of professional who performs at a high level, owns your work, and is looking for a firm that runs like one, we want to hear from you now — before a role is posted.
Submit your introduction and we’ll keep your file active. When the right role opens, you’ll be the first call.
Counsel
You handle complex matters autonomously and serve as a senior substantive resource. You’re not looking for direction — you’re looking for a platform worthy of your experience.
Senior Associate
You’re fully independent on contested matters. You manage your caseload, your clients, and your deadlines without hand-holding. You want a firm with real systems and real cases.
Associate
You operate independently on your assigned matters and don’t require active supervision to execute. You’re building toward full independence and want an environment where performance is noticed.
Paralegal
You’re detail-oriented, reliable, and take ownership of your work. You understand that the legal team moves as fast as its support — and you take that seriously.
Not sure which category fits? Introduce yourself anyway. We’ll figure it out.
Compensation & Benefits
Base Pay + Performance Bonuses
Attorney base pay scales with bar date. Merit-based raises and productivity bonuses reward individual performance. Supervisors receive an additional differential with bonuses tied to team KPI execution. Structured reviews at 90, 180, and 365 days.

Our Hiring Process
No surprises. Here’s exactly what to expect:
Step 1 — Screen with Our COO/Operations Manager
A focused conversation about your background, the role, and whether there’s a mutual fit worth exploring.
