Brownstein Hyatt Opens New Phoenix Office
Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck is hiring in Phoenix, where it has already established a new office.
Two shareholders presently listed on the law firm website attorney roster for the Phoenix office formerly practiced in the local office of Snell & Wilmer. And the firm plans to announce another half dozen or so new hires in January, chief marketing officer Lisa Simon tells the ABA Journal in an e-mail.
The Phoenix office, which is presently in temporary space, “could easily have 15-20 people by the end of 2011,” she writes.
Among those joining the firm in January will be Martin Shultz, who is retiring from Pinnacle West Capital Corp., according to Simon and the Arizona Capital Times (sub. req.). He presently serves as the company’s vice president of government affairs.
Brownstein Hyatt, which is based in Denver, now has about 250 lawyers and policy consultants in 12 offices in Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico and Washington, D.C., according to the firm’s website.
The head of the new Phoenix office will be named in January, Simon says, once the full team is on board.
