Arizona’s Alternative Business Structure (ABS)

Innovative Legal Services Backed by Arizona’s Forward-Thinking ABS Program

In 2021, the Arizona Supreme Court established the nation’s first permanent Alternative Business Structure (ABS) program—setting a new standard for how legal services can be delivered. Under this groundbreaking model, Arizona law firms are allowed to include non-lawyers as owners or decision-makers, enabling greater flexibility, innovation, and access to justice.

What Is an ABS?

An Alternative Business Structure (ABS) is a licensed legal entity that allows for non-lawyer participation in ownership, management, or financial interests. This means professionals from other industries—such as finance, technology, or operations—can contribute directly to the business and strategic direction of a law firm.

Why Arizona?

Arizona is the first and only U.S. state with a regulatory framework that fully embraces the ABS model. By modernizing long-standing restrictions, the Arizona Supreme Court opened the door for a new kind of law firm—one that can adapt more quickly to client needs and integrate outside expertise to deliver better outcomes.

Key Benefits of the ABS Model

  • Expanded Innovation: Law firms can collaborate with experts in finance, technology, healthcare, and other sectors to develop smarter, more efficient legal solutions.

  • Increased Access to Justice: By streamlining service delivery and leveraging non-lawyer expertise, ABS firms can reduce costs and reach underserved communities.

  • Ethical Flexibility: Arizona’s revised rules permit fee sharing and referral arrangements between attorneys and non-attorneys, enabling more collaborative and transparent business models.

  • Operational Excellence: Non-lawyer executives and investors bring proven strategies in management, marketing, and customer service—enhancing the client experience and long-term viability of legal operations.

Driving the Future of Legal Services

Arizona’s ABS program isn’t just a legal innovation—it’s a shift toward a more inclusive, accessible, and modern legal marketplace. By embracing this model, our firm is better positioned to deliver value, scale responsibly, and meet the evolving needs of clients in today’s complex legal environment.
