Excellence across disciplines continues to define Coppersmith Brockelman’s legal bench, with Kristen Rosati, Jill Chasson, Keith Beauchamp, and Mel Soliz recognized in the 2026 edition of AzBusiness Leaders, AZ Big Media’s annual publication highlighting Arizona’s most influential business leaders.

Recognized among the “Emerging Leaders” list, this marks Mel’s first time in AzBusiness Leaders, noted for her growing impact in health data privacy and interoperability.

Kristen and Jill were both named “Leaders to Watch,” a designation selected by the AzBusiness Leaders editorial board to highlight the leaders expected to shape Arizona’s economy in the year ahead. This is the eighth year Kristen has been recognized for her work at the forefront of health care law, including data privacy and data sharing for research and clinical integration. In her second year of recognition, Jill was honored for her trusted counsel to employers navigating federal and state workplace laws.

Also, appearing for the second time in the publication, Keith was selected as one of just four business litigation professionals for his experience handling complex commercial disputes.

The recognition further reflects a year of continued momentum for Coppersmith Brockelman, including the firm’s inclusion in the 2026 Best Law Firms rankings by Best Lawyers® and U.S. News & World Report, reinforcing its standing for excellence and leadership across its practice.

AzBusiness Leaders is a widely respected business-to-business publication that highlights the movers and shakers of Arizona’s business community, providing a definitive guide to the state’s top influential leaders.
