Denver

Office Overview

Our Denver office is located in the beautiful Block 162 Tower, located in the heart of Denver’s vibrant and active Central Business District located at 675 15th St. between California and Welton Streets.

The office provides sophisticated legal counsel to business clients throughout the fast-growing Rocky Mountain region. We work with businesses of all sizes, both in Denver and across the country, including Fortune 500 corporations, private equity firms, financial institutions and high-growth start-ups. In coordination with the firm’s international practices, our lawyers have represented clients across many of the industries that drive national and global economic growth.

Practice Areas Represented

M&A and Private Equity. We advise Fortune 500 public companies, strategic and financial sponsors, and high-growth start-ups on mergers, acquisitions and other strategic transactions across a variety of industries. This includes asset and stock sales, business combinations and joint ventures. We also partner with private equity funds to help them successfully execute acquisitions, financings and exit transactions (through M&A and capital markets transactions), and we provide transactional and other advice to private equity-owned portfolio companies.

Banking and Finance. We regularly represent lenders, borrowers and investors in all phases of financing transactions, including capital markets. Our Denver lawyers are adept in documenting asset-backed loans and general commercial loans, including working capital lines of credit, syndicated loans and club-deals. Because our Denver lawyers are also licensed in New York, the office is fully capable of documenting New York law-governed loans, the preferred choice for many financial institutions.

Intellectual Property. As the Denver area rises as a national leader in technology and venture capital investment, our IP lawyers continue to play a critical role in helping shape an ever-changing landscape and enabling our clients’ success. Our Denver lawyers represent companies seeking to enhance and protect their IP portfolios and defend against the IP suits of others, investors and lenders deploying capital to companies in various growth stages, and parties entering into critical IP licensing agreements. We have counseled clients in the consumer product, biotechnology, medical device, healthcare, telecom, e-commerce, software and energy sectors. Our lawyers have advanced science degrees and practical industry experience having worked alongside companies developing new products and pushing boundaries.

Food and Beverage. We have a long track record of advising clients in the food and beverage industry on a wide range of matters, from labeling and FDA regulatory compliance to significant transactions such as strategic investments, acquisitions and dispositions of businesses. Our lawyers include several former in-house counsel from leading brands. We advise vendors, suppliers, producers, distributors and private equity firms on the constantly evolving food and beverage landscape.

Energy and Natural Resources. Our lawyers have a breadth of experience serving energy and mining clients in virtually all phases of their businesses, including M&A transactions, environmental compliance and enforcement, and operational contracting and dispute resolution.

Corporate and Securities. We routinely represent companies needing guidance on corporate formation and governance and have implemented numerous public and private securities placements for businesses of all sizes.

Litigation and Bankruptcy. Critical to the rapidly growing technology and financial services industries in Denver, our litigators have extensive experience in litigating commercial disputes of all kinds, and particularly in the zone of insolvency. We also have significant experience in bet-the-company trade secrets and intellectual property disputes and enforcing restrictive covenants in employment agreements. Our lawyers regularly appear in the state and federal courts to address and obtain resolution of disputes, and we counsel both lenders and debtors on high-profile bankruptcies and restructurings.

Our lawyers in Denver have been recognized for their service to clients in several practice areas by leading publications such as Chambers USA, Chambers and Partners, Best Lawyers in America, and Woodward/White, Inc.

Community Engagement
Giving back is an important part of our Denver office culture. Since opening in 2015, our team has actively supported local nonprofits and charitable organizations through volunteer efforts, fundraising efforts, sponsorships and pro bono service. Each quarter, we partner with a different local organization to provide hands-on support and contribute to initiatives that make a positive impact across the Denver community. We are proud to invest our time, resources and talents in the place we call home.
