With a legal career that spans over five decades, Mr. Slavin has established himself as a leading figure in the fields of contracts and agreements, land use law, and eminent domain. He earned both his undergraduate degree and Juris Doctor from the University of Cincinnati, laying the foundation for a remarkable legal journey that began with his admission to the Ohio Bar in 1968, followed by his entry into the Arizona Bar in 1972. In 1971, Mr. Slavin moved to Arizona to take on the role of vice-president and general counsel for a prominent homebuilding and land development company. His passion for real estate law led him to join the esteemed Fennemore Craig law firm in 1973, where he became a shareholder and director.

An AV-rated attorney for over 25 years, Mr. Slavin is actively involved in both state and national legal communities. He has contributed his expertise to the American Bar Association, serving on various committees, including the Forum Committee on the Construction Industry and the Real Property, Probate and Trust Law Section.

A proud member of the Order of the Coif and Phi Delta Phi, Mr. Slavin is also an accomplished author, having penned "Construction Law and Mechanics’ Liens in Arizona," a comprehensive resource published annually from 1980 to 2006. In addition, he served as a Judge Pro Tempore for the Superior Court of Arizona in Maricopa County from 1980 to 1990 and was an influential member of the City of Phoenix Zoning Ordinance Revision Committee from 1981 to 1989.
