Moyes Sellers & Hendricks

What Moyes Sellers & Hendricks does

Moyes Sellers & Hendricks Ltd. is a Phoenix, Arizona-based full-service business law firm operating under a traditional partnership structure with 11 disclosed attorneys (8 shareholders plus one of-counsel and one associate). The firm practices across 15 distinct areas, splitting between transactional work (Business and Corporate, Commercial Real Estate, Energy Development, Government Procurement, Natural Resources, Power, Water) and litigation/advocacy (Administrative Law, Commercial Litigation, Corporate Bankruptcy, Creditors' Rights, Criminal Defense, Environmental, Insurance, Tort Litigation). It serves business, financial, institutional, governmental, and individual clients including public and privately held companies, partnerships, utilities, irrigation/electrical districts, and emerging/start-up entrepreneurs, with notable concentration of expertise in Arizona-specific regulated domains such as water rights and power policy.

The firm is differentiated by the depth of its attorney bench — every shareholder began their career at one of the largest firms in Arizona, with tenures of 25-35+ years — and by its relationship-based, accessibility-focused service model that competes on personal attention and value relative to larger competitors. Client acquisition is driven by reputation, peer recognition (Super Lawyers, Best Lawyers in America, U.S. News Best Law Firms), referrals, and direct engagement through the Phoenix office. Public testimonials cite client relationships spanning 15-40+ years across diverse industries (utilities, healthcare, logistics, fresh produce, business consulting, SMB services), indicating a horizontally diversified client base anchored by a few long-tenured enterprise relationships.

The firm operates on standard professional-services economics — billable hours, contingency arrangements, and fixed-fee engagements — with no public revenue disclosure. There is no evidence of external institutional investment, technology platform, AI tooling, geographic expansion beyond a single Phoenix headquarters, or material hiring growth. Recent strategic signals (2026 Best Lawyers and Super Lawyers selections for both senior shareholders and early-career associate Nicholas Walter) point to steady stewardship and succession planning rather than expansion.
