Ron Roach utilizes his expertise in commercial litigation together with his in-house corporate counsel experience to advise and represent individuals and businesses facing contract, employment, and real estate related disputes and issues.  In doing so, Mr. Roach blends the sophistication of his large firm experience with the advantages of a cost-sensitive and attention-driven law practice.  He feels strongly that you should not have to pay the hourly rate of a large law firm to receive the highest quality legal counsel and representation.. After graduating from Pepperdine University School of Law, Mr. Roach began his career in Phoenix at the well-respected boutique commercial litigation law firm Meyer Hendricks & Bivens, P.A.. Mr. Roach then found his feet as a litigator at renowned local firm Jennings Strouss & Salmon LLP where he litigated and arbitrated a wide array of real estate, insurance defense, and commercial litigation matters.  Mr. Roach then spent five years receiving elite training, polishing his legal skills, and managing high stakes, complex cases in an international commercial litigation and arbitration practice at the prestigious global law firm, DLA Piper (US) LLP.. Most recently, after successfully representing a Silicon Valley-based technology start-up in connection with a bet-the-company whistleblower lawsuit, Mr. Roach was hired by the company to serve as Corporate Counsel.  As one of only two lawyers in the company, which had over 300 employees and offices in California, Colorado, New York, and Arizona, Mr. Roach handled diverse legal issues, including drafting and reviewing commercial contracts, compliance matters, human resource and employment-related claims, marketing review, and management of outside counsel.

I have practiced commercial/business litigation since graduating from BYU law school in 1976. Tried more than 100 jury trials. I love the courtroom. I prepare and trial cases electronically because it increases efficiency and lowers costs. All client documents are scanned and bates-labeled, so that complete chronologies can be prepared. A chronology is vital to understasnding the case and preparation. It, also, allows for designation of trial exhibits and preparation of exhibit lists using the computer rather than hand-sorting and hand-description of exhibits. Exhibits can be annotated electronical for effective trial work, and I use the computer equipment in the courtroom myself: there is no disconnect between the examination and getting the document on the screen for the witness, jury, and judge.. Computer images are used in depositions rather than paper exhibits because of the increased efficiency and the resulting lack of disconnect when depositions, which I always videotape, are played at trial. The talking head and the document can be displayed for the jury, and the bates number assures the jury that the same document marked and used at trial is the one about which the witness is testifying. The images allow a free-ranging deposition rather than one limited the stack of documents on the table.. We have the necessary computer programs to process native-file electronic documents (ESI or electronically stored information). Metadata is essential in many cases. We, also, have the right computer forensic help for imaging and use of client and adverse-party computers.. My longest jury trial lasted ten months, a securities fraud trial with more than 10,000 exhibits marked. It was eash to manage becuase of technology. My largest jury verdict resulted in a judgment of more than $60 million. I have traveled internationally for cases and, of course, all over the United States. Tried cases in many states.. I was an adjunct professor of law at ASU lawschool for two years teaching electronics in the courtroom.. I have done cases on a budget and cases where the amount at issue was such that there was no budget. My fees tend to be less than other lawyers because of the efficience of the  electdronics used for prepartion, management, and trial. I, also, expect the client to help me know where to look for evidence in the field of discovery so I do not have to turn over rocks where there are no worms.. I have an economics degree, which helps in the sorts of cases I try. Cases that generally involve economic and accounting experts. It is easier to prepare an expert or cross the other side's expert if you have background in the subject area.. I have a commercial pilot's license with more than 4,000 hours of flight time, less than 80 hours of which is in single-engine aircraft. I know airplanes, the FARs, and all things aviation, so there is no or very little learning curve when the case is aviation related. I have represented pilots, FBOs, Part 135 operators, and Part 145 repair stations.. I am a trial lawyer. That means I want to try the case. My job is to get the case ready to try and try it, not ready to settle. I am at home in large-document cases involvintg complex legal issues. I prefer the courtroom to the office. Interviews, discovery, and everything pre-trial (office work) is to get me to the courtroom.

I am primarily a business litigator. However, I have litigated a wide variety of cases including construction defect, mold and toxic tort, bad faith, medical malpractice, long-term care liability, securities fraud, personal injury, insurance defense, trade secret and intellectual property litigation. Currently my practice focuses on litigation against banks and other lenders. I have served as first or second chair in seven jury and one bench trial and have handled numerous evidentiary hearings, including an 11-day Frye hearing on the admission of scientific evidence.As a judge pro tem, I have handled civil, criminal and juvenile matters for the Maricopa County Superior Court and the Gilbert Municipal Court. I have presided over approximately 15 jury trials and two bench trials as well as numerous civil traffic hearings. I have conducted approximately 60 court-ordered settlement conferences and 5 arbitrations. I also handle arbitrations and mediations as a paid, third-party neutral.I also serve as the Chair of the firm's VISION Outreach Program in the Firm's Phoenix office. The Polsinelli Shughart VISION Program (Volunteers Investing Service In Our Neighborhoods) is a way of giving back to the community while taking advantage of an opportunity to broaden and deepen personal relationships with colleagues. The VISION Leadership Team coordinates a variety of volunteer opportunities for teams of Polsinelli Shughart employees to serve the needs of a number of local charities. In 2012, the Phoenix office partnered with UMOM to help meet the needs of newly homeless families. In 2013, Polsinelli's Phoenix office will continue to work with UMOM while also expanding its services to other local charities.Specialties: The Arizona State Bar prohibits attorneys from claiming specialties under most circumstances.
