Arizona Supervising Counsel

Gravitas's Southwest practice is anchored by an Arizona-licensed supervising counsel with an active practice before the Arizona State Bar and the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona. The attorney fills a specific and deliberate role in the Gravitas structure: supervising all matters that require Arizona licensure, including those originating from or touching the firm's Arizona Alternative Business Structure designation.

Their practice focus covers federal courts, regulatory proceedings, trade matters, and Arizona-specific civil and commercial work. In terms of the Gravitas client base, this typically means supervising matters where an Arizona entity, transaction, or jurisdiction is implicated — alongside lead counsel Ibrahim Farag, who handles the overarching strategy.

The decision not to list this attorney publicly by name is deliberate and reflects the firm's broader approach to the of-counsel and supervising-counsel bench: Gravitas credentials its lawyers to clients, not to the internet. Before any matter proceeds that involves this counsel's participation, the client receives the attorney's full name, bar number, admissions record, and relevant background. That introduction happens before fees are collected on any Arizona-supervised matter.

This structure is not unusual for firms operating under ABS frameworks, and it should not raise concerns about qualification or standing. The attorney is in active good standing, maintains the required admissions, and is known to the Arizona Supreme Court's ABS oversight system as supervising counsel for the firm. The arrangement is fully disclosed to the Arizona State Bar.

Clients who request to vet this attorney before engagement are encouraged to do so. The firm provides bar verification information, state and federal admission records, and a direct introduction on request. Any matter that touches Arizona jurisdiction should not proceed without that step, and Gravitas does not allow it to.
