Why people hire Gust Rosenfeld

This is the firm Arizona businesses, school districts, and cities call when the matter is large, technical, or has long-term consequences. Founded in 1921 — nine years after Arizona statehood — Gust Rosenfeld has been the bond counsel, corporate counsel, or special counsel on a sizable share of Arizona's most important commercial and public projects. They are not a fit for every consumer matter, but for sophisticated business work this is one of the deepest benches in the Valley.

Why This Firm

Gust Rosenfeld is one of Arizona's oldest and most established law firms. The firm is full-service across business and public law — corporate, real estate, public finance, education, environmental, employment, intellectual property, healthcare, tax, and trusts and estates — with eight attorneys recognized as Super Lawyers or Rising Stars. They take on transactional and litigation engagements for businesses, governmental entities, and individuals with complex tax/estate planning needs. The firm is not a fit for divorce, criminal defense, or personal injury — for those needs, see our other Phoenix listings. If your matter is a business deal, a public-finance transaction, an employment counseling project, or sophisticated estate planning, Gust Rosenfeld is a serious choice.
