Ballard Spahr was one of the first national law firms to establish an office in Denver. Since it opened in 1981, our Denver office has grown in size and scope—and the firm expanded its Colorado presence to include a thriving office in Boulder.
Our Denver attorneys represent local, regional, and national clients in litigation, regulatory, and transactional matters. Our recent growth in Denver and expansion to Boulder have further deepened our capabilities to serve clients in the Rocky Mountain Region and the West.
Our corporate attorneys are nationally recognized for their work representing public and private companies in mergers and acquisitions, financing transactions, corporate governance issues, securities law, bankruptcy and restructuring, public finance, and tax matters. Their clients range from startups and family-owned businesses to financial institutions and Fortune 100 companies, and we are particularly well-positioned to support Denver's high-tech and emerging growth community. Our Colorado-based cybersecurity attorneys advise on information security controls, regulatory compliance, vendor management, cyber liability insurance, and incident response policies and plans.
Our litigators are true first-chair trial lawyers. We handle high-stakes cases involving commercial and real estate disputes, product liability, cybersecurity, First Amendment and defamation litigation, mortgage banking, corporate governance disputes, and bankruptcy. We conduct corporate investigations and respond to government scrutiny and enforcement.
The Denver office is the epicenter of our labor and employment practice in the West. Our labor and employment lawyers represent management in matters ranging from preventive counseling and strategic human resources guidance to collective bargaining, appearances before governmental regulators, and single-plaintiff and class action litigation in courts and before administrative agencies.
Our real estate practices in Denver consistently receive the highest-tier ranking by Chambers USA: America's Leading Lawyers for Business. The group is particularly well-known for its cutting edge development and finance work in the resort, hospitality, and fractional ownership space.
Our public finance attorneys serve as bond counsel, disclosure counsel, or issuer's counsel to the State of Colorado, state authorities, higher education and health care institutions, counties and municipalities, special districts, and other governmental issuers.
At Ballard Spahr, we believe our clients are best served by innovative solutions that spring from varied viewpoints and perspectives. We are committed to creating a vibrant community where people of all backgrounds can thrive.
The firm is ranked sixth in the nation for its percentage of female equity partners by The American Lawyer and our Denver office has among the highest percentage of female attorneys of any law firm in the city. The office is also an active member of the Center for Legal Inclusiveness.
Pro bono service is a hallmark of the firm, and our attorneys devote hundreds of hours to pro bono cases every year. Attorneys and staff in Denver support a variety of local and national bar, civic, and charitable causes, including Wills for Heroes, the Sam Cary Bar Association, the Airport Minority Advisory Council, the Downtown Denver Partnership, and Clemency Project 2014.
