Davis Miles McGuire Gardner has a sophisticated business and transactions department which, during 2020 helped Arizona businesses in their response to a global pandemic. In large part, PPP loans, forgiveness strategies, and policy updates were a critical component of business survival. Davis Miles McGuire Gardner stayed abreast of updates and made sure its clients could adapt. This service, Davis Miles McGuire Gardner believes, is why it was ranked No. 1 in “banking law” this year.

COMPANY STRENGTHS: “We believe in improving lives. When COVID-19 hit, our clients’ livelihoods were threatened. We were able to work hard to stay abreast of all applicable laws and help businesses borrow to stay open and keep people on payroll.” IMPACT OF 2021 TRENDS: “The pandemic will continue to drive response to the economy. Businesses that are agile mobile and opportunistic will grow and find ways to adapt. Others that are burdened by shutdowns may have to try to access more government help or the bankruptcy courts.” OUTLOOK FOR 2021: “We are cautiously optimistic. Much depends on COVID and restrictions that are making it hard for small business.” last year 4
