Spencer A. Shockness

Spencer Shockness is an associate in our Business Litigation practice group who works out of our Phoenix office. Spencer also serves as the Chair of Fennemore’s Diversity & Inclusion Council. His practice focuses on a broad range of litigation matters – guiding clients through mediation and advantageous settlements, as well as taking matters to trial when necessary. Spencer also takes a great interest in various product liability topics.

Prior to joining the firm, Spencer was a summer associate at Fennemore, and he’s passionate about resolving complex issues by creating positive solutions. Spencer’s love for products liability and the law generally arose during his time as an undergraduate student at Arizona State University. His subsequent time spent as a member of ASU’s debate team laid the foundation for his love for advocacy and solidified that becoming a litigator would be the path for him. In law school, his service on the Arizona State Law Journal culminated with a publication of his work regarding Amazon’s liability under Arizona law for defective products sold on its website.

Outside of the office on fall weekends, you’ll find Spencer officiating college football for the NAIA and NCAA, as well as high school football for the Arizona Interscholastic Association. Prior to law school, he also obtained his real estate license and worked in property management. In addition to that, Spencer is quite the trading card game enthusiast.
