A group of nationally known and experienced lawyers in litigation, employment, Occupational Safety and Health Act, corporate and business have launched a new law firm, Pace Selden Gilman Marks PLLC, doing business as PSGM Law.

The firm launched with five lawyers, including Paradise Valley Council Member Julie Pace, at a new office in Phoenix. The founding members of PSGM Law have worked collaboratively together for many years at other national and state law firms, handling matters across the state, country and globally, according to a press release.

The founding partners of PSGM Law are Pace, David Selden, Heidi Nunn-Gilman and Danny Marks. The team draws on their 100 years of combined legal experience with depth and breadth in a variety of practice areas with a national reputation serving clients in litigation, OSHA, construction, I-9 audits, DOL audits corporate, government relations and employment law, the release stated.

“Responsive. Creative. Results. That is our approach at PSGM Law,” Pace said in the release. “We love what we do in helping clients and we have a commitment to solving client challenges and being accessible 24/7/365 days to handle client emergencies. We are also thrilled to create a pension and profit sharing plan to benefit the entire team.”

Pace has more than 30 years of experience concentrating her practices in the fields of employment law, I-9 and immigration compliance, OSHA, health care and construction. She represents companies to defend claims of sexual harassment, employment discrimination, retaliation, whistleblower, wrongful discharge, and against charges by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and Civil Rights Division of the Arizona Attorney General’s Office.

She has extensive experience providing counseling and training, assisting on investigations and corporate governance matters, dealing with Davis-Bacon, Federal Acquisition Regulation, government contracts and a full array of employee grievances, executive agreements, negotiations, hearings and litigation matters, according to the release.

With over 40 years of legal experience, partner Selden’s practice areas include representing businesses in employment and commercial litigation. He has drafted approximately 12 Arizona employment laws that were enacted to help foster a strong business climate. He excels in litigation and employment, including but not limited to contract disputes, wrongful termination, non-competes, independent contractors, employment discrimination, breach of fiduciary duties and alleged misclassification issues with Department of Economic Security and other government agencies. He handles matters involving OSHA, ICE, Davis-Bacon and government contracts.

“We are delighted to have the opportunity to serve our clients with a flexible and responsive platform with state-of-the-art technology and software which improves efficiencies for our clients” Selden said in the release.

Nunn-Gilman’s practice focuses on employment litigation and human resource matters. She has 20 years of expertise, advising clients on matters relating to labor and employment law, including I-9 and immigration compliance strategies, E-Verify, ICE and worksite enforcement, wage and hour and Department of Labor, OSHA, non-competition and confidentiality agreements, paid sick leave or family leave, employee handbooks, and executive agreements, among other areas. Nunn-Gilman frequently writes and speaks on a number of employment, immigration compliance and labor matters.

“I have worked for decades with this team and enjoy problem-solving for clients,” Nunn-Gilman said in the release. “I am delighted to work as part of a synergistic team that enjoys working together and is focused on client service. I enjoy mentoring the next generations at companies and internally at our firm.”

Marks’ practice is devoted primarily to litigation matters involving commercial disputes, intra-corporate disputes, business disputes, trade secret theft, fraud claims, real estate disputes and corporate transactions. Marks enjoys collaborating with clients to develop strategies, minimize risks and advance their interests.

“I am excited that I have talented colleagues and together we have the right blend of skills and experience to help clients overcome challenges with creative and effective representation,” Marks said in the release.
