Phoenix Summer
Program
For nearly 30 years, clients from
both the public and the private
sector have relied on the Phoenix office
.
of Squire, Sanders & Dempsey L.L.P for a
broad array of services ranging from US and
international business, real estate, venture capital,
bankruptcy/reorganization, and private and public finance to
intellectual property, litigation, environmental matters and taxation. Established to serve the local community and the
greater Southwest, our Phoenix office has rapidly expanded since its opening in 1979 to develop solid working
relationships with local, state, regional, national and international business and government leaders.
We invite you to experience firsthand a firm that is ranked consistently among the top five in the Phoenix market for both
quality of legal services and number of lawyers. For example, we were recently ranked No. 1 in Arizona in
Corporate/M&A by Chambers USA as well as one of the top five law firms in Phoenix in Corporate Board Member’s
America’s Best Corporate Lawyers poll.
As a valued contributor to our Phoenix office, you will have the opportunity to collaborate with our distinguished team
of lawyers, who are well equipped both locally and through our extensive national and international resources to
provide legal counsel to clients in virtually every management and business challenge they face. In particular, our
business lawyers serve a broad array of clients including small startup businesses, US and non-US developers, large
national manufacturers and multinational corporations.
