Sanders & Parks

What Sanders & Parks does

Sanders & Parks is a private, A-V-rated American law firm founded in 1973 and headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona. The firm provides comprehensive civil litigation and legal advisory services through approximately 20+ attorneys organized across eleven practice areas, including civil litigation, insurance law and litigation, professional liability, personal injury and wrongful death, public entity and municipal defense, business/construction/commercial law, employment and labor law, aviation law, intellectual property litigation, appeals, and mediation/arbitration/ADR. Service delivery follows a traditional professional-services model — hourly, contingency, flat-fee, or hybrid billing on quote-based, multi-year engagements — with no disclosed technology platform, APIs, or AI capabilities.

The firm's customer base is anchored on enterprise insurance carriers (AIG Aerospace, Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty, CopperPoint, QBE, Starr Companies, Premier Claims) requiring coverage opinions, bad faith defense, and Damron/Morris agreement work, alongside Arizona public entities (State of Arizona, Maricopa County, City of Phoenix, school districts) for civil rights, tort, employment, and education-law defense. Additional clients include publicly-owned corporations, closely-held businesses, healthcare providers, and other law firms that retain the firm as lead, special, or local counsel. The go-to-market model is enterprise field sales through reputation, professional networks, attorney credentials, and peer recognition rather than outbound marketing.

The firm is privately held by its attorney-shareholders, with Mark G. Worischeck currently serving as Senior Owner after 15 years as Managing Shareholder (2009-2023). It maintains no subsidiaries, no parent company, no outside investors, and no mergers or acquisitions activity. The firm has been independently operating for over 50 years and is recognized in U.S. News Best Law Firms (2025, 2026), Best Lawyers in America, Super Lawyers, and AZBusiness rankings, but discloses no revenue figures.
