There’s a World of Opportunity Out There

As a business leader, you want to be represented by a nationally recognized law firm with a local presence. Lewis Roca Rothgerber is one of the largest law firms based in the Western U.S. and our attorneys are well positioned to help our clients realize their dreams — in our hometown or around the globe. Whether providing advice on major development projects or high-stakes litigation, our goal is to help our clients be successful.

Our legacy as one of the top business leaders in Phoenix began in 1950, with the law firm of Lewis & Roca playing a lead role helping what was then an agricultural community of just over 100,000 people to grow into the nation’s fifth-largest metropolitan area.

Last year, the firm successfully completed a combination of legacy firms Rothgerber Johnson & Lyons and Lewis & Roca to create Lewis Roca Rothgerber, a stronger firm with deeper experience and a more expansive geographical reach.

Lewis Roca Rothgerber maintains thriving practices in litigation, real estate, banking, corporate and securities, bankruptcy, intellectual property, gaming, international trade, energy and utilities, religious institutions, and labor and employment.

With additional regional offices in Denver, Las Vegas and Silicon Valley, as well as offices in Albuquerque, Casper, Colorado Springs, Reno and Tucson, our more than 250 attorneys know and understand the particular challenges facing businesses of all sizes with major operations in the West.

While we are proud to call the Western U.S. our home, our attorneys provide counsel here and around the world to a broad range of clientele encompassing businesses that range from start-ups to Fortune 100 companies in industries including commercial, technology, industrial, banking, real estate, energy and manufacturing, among others.

Lewis Roca Rothgerber and our attorneys have consistently been recognized among the finest in the profession by leading industry trade and ranking organizations. Most recently, the firm and 24 of its attorneys received high honors from Chambers & Partners in the 2015 Chambers USA: America’s Leading Lawyers for Business guide, in which eight of the firm’s practice areas, by market, were recognized, including Environment (including water rights), Litigation: General Commercial, and Real Estate in Arizona.
