Coppersmith Brockelman

What Coppersmith Brockelman does

Coppersmith Brockelman PLC is a Phoenix-based business law firm founded in 1995, operating as a privately held professional limited liability company with approximately 29 attorneys as of 2026 and a total employee count in the 11-50 range. The firm delivers legal services through partner-led engagements across healthcare, data privacy and security/interoperability, employment and labor, commercial litigation, election and public law, corporate, real estate, cannabis, creditor rights, employee benefits, legal malpractice, and nonprofit practice areas. Primary clients are healthcare organizations — hospitals, health systems, physician groups, ambulatory surgery centers, health plans, and health information exchanges — alongside employers, commercial litigants, and government and political entities.

Revenue is generated through traditional professional-services arrangements including billable hours, retainer agreements, contingency fees, and flat-fee engagements; pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by matter, complexity, and attorney involvement. The go-to-market model is partner-led direct client engagement supported by thought-leadership content (Coppersmith Briefs), national conference speaking, and earned media through professional recognition (Chambers USA, Chambers Global, Best Lawyers, Super Lawyers, PHOENIX Magazine). The firm does not operate a proprietary technology platform; its "product" is the practice of law, supplemented by a content publication (Coppersmith Briefs) that summarizes regulatory developments for clients.

A defining differentiator is the firm's nationally ranked Privacy & Data Security: Healthcare practice, which anchors the firm's reputation for HIPAA, 42 CFR Part 2, TEFCA, Carequality, information blocking, and AI governance work. The firm maintains a single Phoenix headquarters at 2800 N. Central Ave., Ste. 1900, serves clients nationally in healthcare and election law, and has seen consecutive-year growth in attorney recognition and headcount, signaling measured but deliberate scaling without external capital.
