Ali Farhang

Managing Partner

Areas of Practice:

First and foremost, Ali Farhang is a community activist who believes that making positive contributions in
ones’ community is an enormous aspect of living a successful and fulfilled life. This passion for community
involvement and making a lasting impact was the core principle when he co-founded Farhang & Medcoff.

 

Ali is also an AV-rated attorney who practices in the areas of labor and employment law, business
consultation, commercial litigation and tort law. Ali has litigated a wide variety of employment, traditional
labor, corporate and general liability matters. Additionally, he has advised and assisted management clients
seeking to enforce restrictive covenants and with respect to a multitude of federal and state compliance
issues. Ali also acts as de facto general counsel to a number of significant corporate clients who conduct
business across multiple jurisdictions.

 

When he’s not practicing law, Ali is a proud member of several Southern Arizona associations and non-
profits, and is also co-owner of the Tucson Sugar Skulls, a Founder of the “The Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl”
presented by Gin & Juice by Dre and Snoop, and co-host of the popular “Spears & Ali Show” on ESPN Radio.
