Origin
Littler Mendelson Phoenix: The Arizona Arm of a National Giant
Littler Mendelson was founded in 1942 and has grown into the world’s largest employment and labor law firm, with more than 1,800 attorneys across more than 75 offices globally. Its Phoenix office is managed by Kristy L. Peters, whom Chambers USA describes as having impressive knowledge of labor and employment matters with significant expertise in restrictive covenant issues and discrimination claims, and as practical and client-focused.
Practice
Employer-Side Representation Across an Exhaustive Range of Issues
Littler Mendelson represents employers exclusively — disclosed explicitly here for readers comparing this practice against employee-side firms elsewhere in this category. Chambers USA describes the Arizona office’s recognized experience in the litigation and arbitration of an exhaustive range of labor and employment issues, including class actions and discrimination suits, leveraging the firm’s national footprint to serve small businesses, large companies, healthcare-sector clients, and public-sector employers. Named Phoenix attorney Andrea Lovell is separately recognized by Chambers as knowledgeable, practical, and insightful. Martindale lists other Phoenix attorneys with named practice areas spanning discrimination and harassment, wage and hour, workplace safety (OSHA), and Native American/Indian law — a specialty area relevant given Arizona’s substantial tribal employer base.
Track Record
Awesome Attorneys did not identify an independent, itemized case-results table for the Phoenix office specifically, which is typical for employment defense work given the confidential nature of most settlements and internal investigations.
Past-Results Disclaimer: Every case is different, and no past result guarantees a similar outcome in any future matter.
Client Voice
Awesome Attorneys did not identify a substantial volume of independently sourced, individually attributable client reviews for the Phoenix office, consistent with a practice serving institutional employer clients rather than individual consumers.
Community
Awesome Attorneys did not identify independently verifiable, Phoenix-office-specific community or pro bono initiatives in the sources reviewed for this profile.
Recognition

Kristy Peters and Andrea Lovell are both individually named and quoted in Chambers’ independent research.
The Arizona Legal Backdrop
What follows is general legal information, not legal advice.
Arizona is an at-will employment state under the Arizona Employment Protection Act, A.R.S. § 23-1501, subject to federal and state anti-discrimination and wage-and-hour exceptions. Native American/Indian law employment matters, part of this office’s named practice, often intersect with tribal sovereign immunity doctrine and the applicability (or non-applicability) of certain federal and state employment statutes on tribal land — a genuinely specialized area distinct from standard Arizona employment law.
The Awesome Attorneys Assessment
Littler Mendelson Phoenix’s clearest differentiator is the scale and specialization of the world’s largest employment and labor firm, combined with a Chambers-ranked local office and named attorneys with individually verified peer recognition, including a genuine niche in tribal/Native American employer representation.
The honest trade-off: the firm represents employers exclusively, so individual employees seeking representation against an employer should look to the employee-side firms elsewhere in this category, and as a large national firm, fee structures likely reflect institutional-client scale rather than a small-business or individual budget.
