Hi, I'm Steve Barclay, the owner of BARCLAY LEGAL, PLC.
I've been practicing law and lobbying in Arizona for over thirty eight years. Ten years ago, in the fall of 2008, I started my current law firm as a lawyer-lobbyist.
For many years I have concentrated my practice in the areas of state and local lobbying and government relations, as well as transactional business law in the fields of health care, insurance, administrative and regulatory law. I appear regularly for clients before the Arizona Legislature and numerous state and local governmental agencies, boards and commissions.
