My practice focuses on helping businesses protect their intangible assets from disloyal employees and unfair competition.. I am a student of the law, with a focus on how lawyers can better meet the needs of our clients. To that end, I am working on an advanced legal degree -- an LL.M. in Litigation Management from Baylor University -- to gain additional knowledge and skills to help me represent my clients more predictably, efficiently, and effectively.. This is my second LL.M degree. After 20 years in practice, I returned to school to receive an LLM in Biotechnology and Genomics from the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University. The program is the first of its type in the world. Since 2008, I have been an adjunct professor at the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University, teaching a course in Trade Secrets and Restrictive Covenants. I also wrote the textbook for the course.. I am a frequent speaker and author on employment and intellectual property issues. I have an AV rating from Martindale Hubbell. I serve on the Board of the East Valley Partnership, a coalition of community, business, government, and educational leaders that advocates to improve quality of life in the region.

My practice emphasizes real estate, construction, and business law.  For nearly 20 years, I have successfully represented developers, contractors, subcontractors, homeowers, landlords, lenders, title insurance companies, commercial general liability insurance companies, and other businesses in disputes  involving, among other things, real estate titles, real estate transactions, commercial lease agreements, mechanic's liens, construction defect claims, insurance coverage, surety claims, ownership of closely-held corporations, and various types of business agreements.  As a mixed litigation and transactional attorney, I also have substantial experience drafting, revising and negotiating a variety of contracts, including construction contracts, subcontracts, real estate purchase agreements, commercial and residential lease agreements, employment contracts, non-compete agreements, non-disclosure agreements, settlement agreements, and vendor contracts. In addition to handling cases in state and federal courts, I have represented several clients in adminstrative proceedings with the Federal Mining Safety and Health Administration, Arizona Registrar of Contractors, Nevada State Contractors Board, and Arizona Corporation Commission.

My name is Glenn Roethler.  I am originally from the Puyallup area of Washington State.  I grew up on a small farm where I learned to appreciate diligence and hard work.. I paid my way through school by working in construction.  I have assisted in building several houses from start to finish while working for my Grandfather's construction company.. I have many outdoor interests.  Of these, motorcycle riding has become my chief hobby.  I also struggle with playing guitar and would like to start struggling to play drums (I am sure the neighbors will appreciate it).

My legal practice centers on civil and commercial litigation, tort litigation, and business law. I work with businesses on contract disputes, negotiation, and collection. I have represented both plaintiffs and defendants in claims of negligence and have also represented government entities on numerous matters. Regardless of the issue, I focus on bringing value to my clients and finding creative solutions to problems.. In my personal injury and tort practice, I navigate complex insurance disputes, including bad faith delay and denials of coverage. I have handled a range of cases involving serious injury and wrongful death, negotiating millions in settlements for my clients and ensuring they receive the maximum value for their claims.. In addition to cases in the Superior Court and Federal District Court, I have worked on cases at the U.S. Supreme Court, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and the Arizona Supreme Court. I am also the founder of Legal Aid of Arizona, which provides free legal referrals and educational seminars to the public.
