Lawyers Financial Tools in Arizona — FAQ
Do law firms in Arizona need a separate business bank account?
Yes — Arizona attorneys are required to maintain an IOLTA (Interest on Lawyers' Trust Account) for client funds, separate from their operating account. This is a core ethical requirement enforced by the State Bar of Arizona.
What type of business entity should a law firm use in Arizona?
Most Arizona law firms operate as a PLLC (Professional Limited Liability Company), PC (Professional Corporation), or LLP (Limited Liability Partnership). Filing fee is $50 for an LLC/PLLC. Check with the State Bar of Arizona for entity restrictions.
What banking features matter most for Arizona law firms?
Law firms in Arizona need IOLTA-compliant trust accounting, easy separation of client and operating funds, robust transaction tracking for billing, and ideally integration with practice management software. AI bookkeeping can automate trust reconciliation.
Can Arizona lawyers use online-only banks?
Yes, but your IOLTA account must be held at an institution approved by the State Bar of Arizona. Many online banks qualify, but verify IOLTA eligibility before opening. Your operating account can be at any bank.
