As a law firm with 139 years of storied history in Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, and now, California, you can safely assume – and probably be correct – that Fennemore has nearly seen it all, and survived and thrived while proudly serving our business clients.
As the #1 Fastest Growing Law Firm, we’re not only growing by head count but by office locations too. Today we have 19 offices in 6 states and continue to serve clients in other markets throughout the United States and Canada.
We are led by a Management Committee and are governed by a Board of Directors. We operate our business just like our clients do, with an innovative C-Suite of dedicated professionals across our enterprise.
At Fennemore, our greatest asset is our people; the hearts and minds of our esteemed attorneys and allied legal professionals. Our inclusive culture is one where talented people come – and often stay for more than a decade – building their careers while serving our clients and communities.
COMMUNITY
Our attorneys and allied legal professionals are known as leaders throughout the communities where they live and work. We are active in more than 400 professional, civic and philanthropic organizations donating more than 3,500 hours per year because our expertise is meaningful to the communities we serve. In addition, the firm has an active Pro Bono Committee, which coordinates pro bono services in the communities where the firm has offices, from Arizona and Colorado to Nevada and California.
The Fennemore Foundation is funded by team members who also volunteer their time to the charities receiving contributions.
