For over 40 years, the law firm of Gallagher & Kennedy has built an exemplary reputation, not only for the results we deliver to clients, but also for our role as engaged corporate citizens. Our firm is recognized as an exceptional place to work, which has enabled us to attract and retain top legal talent. While our roots run deep in Arizona and the Southwest, our client relationships extend across the United States and, in several cases, around the globe.

We build lasting relationships with our clients by getting to know your business and applying our legal expertise and time-tested experience in a responsive manner to produce material solutions. Our clients range from Fortune 500 companies to small business and individuals, including Freeport-McMoRan Inc., the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Arizona Cardinals and other national, regional and local businesses. Gallagher & Kennedy’s reputation for excellence enables us to attract challenging, sophisticated and often high profile legal work. Our success comes from an unwavering focus on the needs of our clients and the talent and contributions of our attorneys and professional staff. Or reputation is regional and national as we were recognized as a 2019 "Most Admired Company" by AZ Business magazine, in the National Law Journal Top 500 in the US in 2018, and in the 2019 BTI Consulting Legal Innovation+ Technology Outlook Report. We are also extremely proud of our employment longevity, with over half of the firm’s employees having served on our team for ten or more years.

At Gallagher & Kennedy, we foster an environment of teamwork and collaboration, which provides our clients with depth and breadth of knowledge on every legal matter. We value client relationships over single legal transactions and choose to maintain a progressive, relaxed environment in place of the traditional, hierarchical law practice. From the firm’s very inception, our founding partners have led by example in serving the community through individual and corporate volunteerism. Gallagher & Kennedy attorneys are encouraged to serve in capacities of either professional or personal interest, with many active on boards, councils, committees and a myriad of philanthropic endeavors across the communities we serve.
