Rigorous defense
for high-exposure
civil litigation.

An established defense firm representing individuals and businesses in construction, personal injury and complex commercial matters across Arizona, California and Nevada.

The Firm

An established civil defense practice.

Rai Fink Ebner defends individuals, closely held businesses and Fortune 500 companies in the matters that carry the greatest exposure — and brings a disciplined, coordinated team to every one.

Breadth & Depth

Our attorneys try cases to verdict in state and federal courts, arbitrations and mediations. We serve as panel counsel for more than two dozen insurers, pairing the capability of a large firm with the responsiveness and cost discipline clients expect.

The right attorneys are assigned to each file — not the most expensive ones — and they stay on it from first notice through resolution.

Construction Authority

The firm’s construction-defect practice is among the most experienced in the Southwest, representing developers, general contractors and subcontractors in single-family disputes through large multi-party developments.

A founding partner co-authored Arizona’s construction-law practice manual and chaired the State Bar’s construction section — experience that anchors the firm’s broader civil defense work.
