Phocus Law

Phocus Law is a true one-stop shop for the legal needs of Arizona businesses and their owners & founders. Our Business Law practice handles the needs of companies and individuals across the entire lifecycle of a business: from formation to exit. We have a particular focus on real estate transactions where we work with all parties in real estate financing, investment, development, leasing, and selling. While real estate deals often have unique characteristics specific to real estate, the parties face all of the same day-to-day legal questions as any other company and deserve the same comprehensive and diligent level of legal service. We’re ideally placed to handle both the real estate-specifics, and the daily business legal issues.
In conjunction with our Business Law Practice, our Estate Planning & Commercial Litigation practices are there to help our clients plan for the future, protect their assets, and to handle any disputes that come up in the course of doing business. At Phocus, our goals are to: 1) Provide top-quality legal counsel; 2) Do so cost-effectively; and 3) Be approachable and create an enjoyable, stress-free experience for our clients. We love what we do, and it shows in the way we treat our clients.
