Phoenix

The expansion of Phoenix has been nothing short of spectacular. Since 1950, Phoenix – now the sixth largest city in the United States and the corporate and industrial giant of the southwest – has grown from a population of 375,000 to 3.6 million in the surrounding metropolitan area. Phoenix has become a major center for technology, customer service operations, distribution, and professional services, with an increasing number of companies establishing headquarters in Maricopa County. Looking forward, Phoenix faces an era of widespread development, as more than $1 billion in public and private projects are planned or currently under construction.

Developing along with the city, StayLaw’s Phoenix office has more than doubled in size since opening in 1999. One of the top law firms in the state according to Ranking Arizona, StayLaw is the largest national and international law firm with a location in Arizona. Attorneys in StayLaw’s Phoenix office have received numerous recognitions including being listed in The Best Lawyers in America® 2006 by Woodward/White, Inc.; The Phoenix Business Journal’s “Best of the Bar” and “Leading Lawyers”; and Franchise Times' “Legal Eagles 2006.”
