Lewis and Roca LLP

Client Success. Client Relationships. The true measure of our firm.

All law firms are not alike. They are each guided by distinct principles and attitudes that affect every aspect of a client's experience with the firm. As one of the Southwest's leading law firms, Lewis and Roca is no exception. Founded in 1950 and with over 200 attorneys in offices in Phoenix, Tucson, Las Vegas, Reno and Albuquerque, the firm serves a diverse base of local, regional, national and international clients, including some of the world's largest corporations.

We have extensive experience across a wide range of disciplines from corporate and securities, to intellectual property, through real estate. We attract and retain the highest caliber legal talent who share our values of integrity, respect, teamwork, accountability and leadership. The foundation of our success is, and will continue to be, the dedication of exceptional attorneys and professional staff.

For over 50 years, the standard we set for our firm is to maintain professional excellence in an open environment that is hospitable and welcoming to all people. How do we do this? By recognizing that our core purpose is all about relationships. Being outstanding attorneys helps us attract clients. Being good people helps us build long-standing client relationships.

And while grounded in a rich tradition, we challenge the dated view of what a law firm is and how it operates. By going far beyond just an understanding of legal principles, we redefine the role of attorneys in business. We see the world from our clients' point of view and empower them with the legal foundation and business foresight to succeed and flourish in an ever-changing corporate climate. This is the essence of quality representation.

Lewis and Roca. A legacy of integrity and trust.
