Under the leadership of managing partners John Palmeri and Thomas Quinn, the Denver office continues to grow in both size and breadth of practices, which include commercial litigation, professional liability, healthcare, bankruptcy, construction, employment, intellectual property and product liability. Lawyers in the office have collectively tried over one hundred cases to verdict or judgment and have been counsel of record in dozens of precedent setting appellate cases. The office is proud of its long-standing working relationships with clients such as Xcel Energy, SAVASeniorCare, LLC, Kindred Healthcare, Inc. and Lennar Corp. The lawyers have strong relationships with non-profit organizations including the Denver Area Council, Boy Scouts of America and the Salvation Army. They have represented financial institutions, including UMB Bank and Alpine Bank. Lawyers in the office have handled matters for major insurance companies as well.
Lawyers in our Denver offices served as law clerks or judicial interns in the Supreme Court of Colorado, Colorado Court of Appeals, the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, the United States District Court for the District of Arizona, United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of California and the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Missouri. Our team includes a former in-house counsel with Qwest Communications (managing construction, real estate, regulatory and commercial litigation matters and the negotiation of commercial and government contracts), a former Deputy Attorney General in the civil division of the Pennsylvania Office of the Attorney General, a former senior employment attorney for the Colorado Attorney General’s Office and a former senior attorney in local county and city government.
Our attorneys and staff contribute to the improvement of our profession and community. Our lawyers are actively involved in national and local bar associations, including committee chairs and pro bono representations. Our lawyers are on the boards of diversity bar associations such as the Asian Pacific American Bar Association, Colorado Women’s Bar Association, Colorado Campaign for Inclusive Excellence and the International Women’s Insolvency and Restructuring Confederation. The office annually supports the law schools at the University of Denver and the University of Colorado, sponsoring diversity panel discussions and other events. Our lawyers have acted as coaches for high school mock trial competitions. Each year the office selects and supports a non-profit organization.
