What Marquis Aurbach Coffing does

Marquis Aurbach Coffing is a full-service Nevada law firm founded in 1972 by Albert G. Marquis, operating as a private professional corporation (Marquis Aurbach Chtd.) headquartered in Las Vegas with a secondary office in Reno. The firm employs more than 30 attorneys plus paralegals and support staff organized into Shareholders/Partners, Of Counsel, Associates, and Paralegal tiers, and serves individuals, small businesses, publicly traded companies, government entities, and nonprofit organizations across 14 practice areas including appellate law, real estate, construction law, corporate and business transactions, estate planning, governmental and municipal law, insurance defense, intellectual property, labor and employment, landlord representation, commercial litigation, probate and guardianship, and common-interest community (HOA) law.

The firm operates a traditional professional services model, billing primarily on hourly rates with flat fees for consultations and document preparation and contingency or fixed-fee arrangements in select matters. It has no proprietary technology platform, relying on standard legal practice management software, document management systems, and legal research tools, with integrations limited to LawPay for client payments, Brightcove for podcast/video hosting, and FindLaw for marketing. The firm's go-to-market is sales-led and reputation-driven: it generates business through direct client consultations, referrals, professional network relationships, attorney-authored publications in industry journals (CCIM Institute, Nevada Lawyer, Nevada Law Journal), speaking engagements for the Nevada Bar Association and other bodies, podcasts, blog content, and an active social media presence.

Marquis Aurbach has accumulated nearly 90 published appellate decisions in state and federal courts since 1972 and holds Tier 1 Best Lawyers/U.S. News rankings in seven Las Vegas practice areas. Named clients span healthcare (Boulder City Hospital, FirstMed Health and Wellness Center), real estate (Greater Las Vegas Association of REALTORS, RL Homes, Building Hope Nevada), hospitality (Wynn Las Vegas), government (Southern Nevada Regional Housing Authority), construction (Jakes Crane, Lift Equipment Certification Company), and manufacturing (Sunshine Minting Inc.). Leadership transitioned from Avece M. Higbee (president from January 2019) to Craig R. Anderson (president from 2024), with Phillip S. Aurbach remaining a founding partner and key shareholder.
