Firm Information

First and foremost, we are committed friends of the design professions and we recognize the value the design professions bring to our society and community. We speak the A/E’s language and we understand the challenges of professional practice. Just as importantly, we don’t work both sides of the fence – that is, we don’t take Owner’s or Developer’s cases against design professionals, like a lot of other firms do. We host a free bi-annual seminar for A/Es, and our attorneys regularly speak at other seminars and luncheons on subjects covering the A/E’s place in the legal environment. We are panel counsel for XL Catlin, Travelers, Hudson, Beazley, Navigators, and other PL insurance carriers. We also serve as personal counsel to many of the largest A/E firms in Colorado, because they know that we know the A/E business.
