What are the key facts for business and commercial law ads in Arizona?

• Results and “specialist” claims. A lawyer may not make a false or misleading communication (ER 7.1).
• Referral services and lead generators. ER 7.2 is reserved, so Arizona has no rule banning payment for a recommendation.
• Ad filing. No filing or pre-approval of ads is required.
• Privacy and health data. No comprehensive consumer-privacy act was found in Arizona law. The data-breach notification statute applies: a person doing business in Arizona that holds unencrypted computerized personal information must investigate a security incident and notify affected individuals within forty-five days of determining a breach (A.R.S. 18-552).

Business clients compare firms on expertise, so “specialist” and “expert” wording and results claims draw the closest reading.

How would a business and commercial law firm plan its first quarter in Arizona?

Business owners call when something is stuck: a contract, a partner, an unpaid invoice. In month one, write an intake script that asks what kind of business, how many owners, what is in writing and what the owner wants done. Build pages for forming a company, partner disputes, contracts and collecting a debt. Add a page on the long window Arizona gives to sue on a written contract, and another on the yearly report corporations deliver to the state. Add Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Chandler and Tucson pages. Write Spanish pages too. Finish your Google profile with a booking link. Ads carry the firm name and contact details. Arizona is a one-party consent state, but tell callers if you record.

In months two and three, count signed clients, once per matter, from your own records. Business work often comes as a series of jobs, so count each new matter once and note whether the client came back. Sort by page: formation, contracts, collecting, annual report or Spanish. Cut pages that only draw people wanting a free template. Cut ad terms that draw job seekers and students. Keep the annual report page if owners called after reading it. Send each new client a short note on what happens next. If you text, follow the state rules and keep consent notes. No broad state privacy law covers your files, so decide how your firm keeps business records private. We review the list with you monthly.

• A retained matter is counted when the engagement letter is signed after the conflict check, once per matter.
