The late U.S. Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist and many other distinguished lawyers have been a part of Carson Messinger's rich history.
Carson Messinger is one of Arizona's oldest law firms, founded in 1924 by Gene S. Cunningham and Charles A. Carson, Jr. Both lawyers were distinguished and active leaders in the early history of Arizona's legal community.
Mr. Cunningham, a University of Illinois law school alumnus, was admitted to practice in Arizona in 1913, one year after statehood, and served as Maricopa County Attorney prior to founding the firm.
Mr. Carson was admitted to practice in Arizona in 1922, after studying and "reading the law." He was the first president of the State Bar of Arizona (1933-35) and is the only two-term president in the bar's history. His son, C.A. Carson III, a former senior member of this firm, also served as State Bar president (its 25th, 1958-59) and for many years was one of two Arizona delegates to the American Bar Association. The firm's current members continue this tradition of active involvement in bar activities.
A number of distinguished Arizona lawyers have been members of the firm, including the late William H. Rehnquist (1924-2005), appointed as Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court by President Nixon in 1972 and elevated to Chief Justice of the United States by President Reagan in 1986.
Rehnquist moved to Phoenix in 1953 after attending Stanford University and Harvard University and working as a law clerk to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson. In 1957, he joined the law firm then known as Cunningham, Carson & Messinger.

Linklaters can trace its roots back to 1838 - and we have been a leading firm in the City of London pretty much ever since. In the 1970s we started to develop a network of overseas offices on the back of the markets' use of English law and the English language on international financings. It was a gentle start: we had approximately two or three partners in each major financial centre.
In the early 1990s globalisation really took off. Deregulation opened up the markets and allowed easier movement of money and trade, while technology broke down the barriers of time and geography, ensuring things happened faster than ever before. There was a huge decision for the firm to make about our own direction and strategy. Clients were becoming increasingly international and we had to decide if we were going to remain a UK-focused firm operating in English law in the UK market, or become a global player aligned around the world's major companies and financial institutions. In 1996 we made the decision to go global and, as a first step, we created an alliance with other leading firms in Europe called Linklaters & Alliance.
By the late 1990s we knew that a federation of firms was just the start. Our clients were transforming rapidly and we needed more focus and co-ordinated management to achieve our strategic purpose. It was obvious to us that we needed to become a single, globally-integrated firm.
Our first merger happened in 2001 and we tripled in size within just 18 months. It was a phenomenal challenge but it allowed us to evolve as a true global player. And we have done. We’re now leaders in Europe and Asia and have a very strong presence across Eastern Europe and the Middle East. We are also one of the few international firms able to advise on Japanese law. Closer to London, we have been building up offices, such as Amsterdam and Milan, where we have historically been smaller than we needed to be.

The Magistrates Court has found a former lay associate of a law firm guilty for failing to disclose a previous dishonesty offence.
From January 2009 to September 2012 Mr John Lelleton of Fitzroy was employed as a paralegal by an East Brighton law firm. Because Mr Lelleton had been found guilty of receiving property by deception in 1996, he was required to inform the law practice that he had a previous finding of guilt for a dishonesty offence. Mr Lelleton had also been found guilty in 1994 of unqualified legal practice. However his employer was not informed of either prior conviction, as required by law.
As covered in RPA Alert 1, 2012, it is unlawful for a person who has been found guilty of a relevant offence to seek or commence employment in a local law practice, unless they have first informed their prospective employer of the offence. The employer must then seek permission from the Legal Services Board if they wish to employ that person.
The Board learned of Mr Lelleton’s convictions in mid-2012 and subsequently charged him with unlawfully working for a law practice. In March 2013, Mr Lelleton pleaded guilty before His Honour Magistrate Hassard of the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court to having worked as a lay associate with a law firm without disclosing his previous criminal conviction. Mr Lelleton was fined $1,000 and ordered to pay the Board’s costs of $3,000.
The Board also sought an order in the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal that Mr Lelleton be listed as a disqualified person indefinitely, and in late May 2013 the Tribunal made that order.

In 1989, The Newcomen Society of the United States honored McNair Law Firm as a leader in its field, and celebrated, as its mission states, “the ultimate achievements of those pioneers whose efforts laid the foundations of the particular enterprise.” In his opening remarks W. W. “Hootie” Johnson, then the Chairman of the Board of NCNB South Carolina, noted that Robert E. McNair had been eminently successful in two fields of service; first as a public servant then as a lawyer. Dr. Harry M. Lightsey, Jr., in his book McNair Law Firm, A Brief History, 1971-2005, stated that: “In earlier years, the State’s economy was largely rural and those businesses that had legal matters of any complexity most often turned to New York, Washington, D.C. or Atlanta for corporate legal services…There was almost no local representation of business or industry flowing directly to South Carolina law firms.” Throughout his service as Governor of South Carolina, our Firm’s founder worked tirelessly to attract desirable business and industry into our State. He was struck by how often the leaders of those companies engaged lawyers and law firms from major cities across the United States to handle their sophisticated legal matters. Governor McNair was determined that this void in legal representation should not continue. His vision for the law firm was to bring together the necessary legal talent and capability to serve South Carolina’s changing economic direction. Thus, when he left government service in 1971, the Governor founded a law firm based on one big idea: he could create a firm which would be best in the world at providing specialized business legal services in the Carolinas, especially legal services which were viewed by business leaders as essential at the intersection of business and government. Because he understood the workings of government from the inside out and because he continuously connected business and governmental leaders to seize upon opportunities for a greater good, he was successful and he provided the firm platform from which we operate today. From unrest to reconciliation Also in 1971, the state of South Carolina, not unlike the entire nation, was coming out of a most difficult time of change and civil unrest. The legal profession was not isolated from those ordeals. During this time, the South Carolina Bar had been divided into two separate groups – a “public or official” Bar and a separate “social and educational” Bar – for fear that the “official” organization which granted licensure to attorneys in the state would face integration. In 1973, Governor McNair and others in this very young law firm, stepped up and helped bring about the much needed reform of the profession and worked to establish a single South Carolina State Bar Association. Governor McNair and his young partners believed that tomorrow can be better than today and that each of us has a personal, moral responsibility to help make it so. That belief infuses everything we do at McNair. This was not an unusual or unexpected stand for Governor McNair and his law partners to take, and was then and is now one of the core values of our Firm. Excellence in legal representation, community service, and diversity of culture are all encompassed in the vision he held and the leadership he gave which created, as The Newcomen Society noted, “one of the South’s most respected law firms.” We work to build enduring client relationships. We identify with our clients’ businesses and the communities that are important to them--because of our physical presence across a broad footprint, by the broad nature of our expertise and through the time we spend understanding and developing opportunities from shifts in the regional economy. And we continue to understand government from the inside, as well as business-government relationships and their unique intricacies. Today, we benefit from the deep relationships we have so carefully built—across government, regional and national business and as active members of our cities, counties and state. It is not just something we talk about – it is how we get things done - See more at:
