IN THE HEADLINES King & Greisen: Paula Greisen (Employment Law – Individuals; Litigation – Labor and Employment, 2006) represented a 20-year-old transgender woman pro bono in her lawsuit against the Colorado Department of Corrections over “discriminatory and dangerous” conditions. Lindsay Saunders-Velez, who filed the suit, was transferred to a men’s prison from a center for female juveniles. Saunders-Velez was later placed in a “punishment pod” at the Colorado Territorial Correctional Facility, where she was sexually abused by male inmates. “This issue is not going to go away,” Greisen said. “We’re going to fight it until these individuals are treated with the respect they deserve.”

►

Leventhal & Puga: Hollynd Hoskins (Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs, 2013) represented Curtis Brooks, who was arrested for a fatal carjacking when he was 15 years old. Brooks was sentenced as a juvenile to life without parole, a sentence deemed unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court in a June 2012 ruling and made to apply retroactively in a January 2016 ruling. Brooks completed his GED and took college courses in prison as Hoskins and his other attorneys continued to petition for clemency. In December 2018, Brooks was praised for his rehabilitation and accountability, and was approved for release on parole in July 2019. “This is a great day,” Hoskins told press after the announcement. “Curtis wants everyone to know that he will not let them down.”

►

Tiftickjian Law Firm: Jay Tiftickjian (DUI/ DWI Defense, 2018) assisted the Colorado State Demographer’s Office in creating an interactive map of the state’s DUI arrests based on census data of those living in Colorado’s 5th Judicial District. Tiftickjian’s efforts coincided with the Colorado State Patrol’s DUI crackdown at the end of December 2018 to combat drunk driving during the holiday season.

HONORABLE MENTION

►

Fox Rothschild: Christopher P. Beall (Copyright Law; Litigation – First Amendment; Litigation – Intellectual Property; Trademark Law, 2006) was selected to serve as deputy attorney general for business and licensing in the administration of Colorado Attorney General-elect Phil Weiser. “Fox Rothschild’s Intellectual Property Department has grown significantly in recent years, and Chris has been a key contributor to that growth. Chris has long been interested in public service, and he will bring a strong skill set to this important role,” James M. Singer, chair of the firm’s nationwide intellectual property department, said in a statement to press.

►

Lewis Roca Rothgerber Christie: James M. Lyons (Arbitration; Bet-the-Company Litigation; Commercial Litigation; Criminal Defense: WhiteCollar; Mediation, 1991) presented a $36,000 grant from the government of Ireland to a memorial project, which will honor Irish miners buried in Evergreen Cemetery. The grant was presented at a black-tie fundraiser held for Irish Network Colorado, which raised $20,000 in funding to supplement the government grant.

►

Merchant & Gould: Timothy B. Scull (Copyright Law; Information Technology Law; Litigation – Intellectual Property; Litigation – Patent; Patent Law; Trademark Law, 2009) discussed Denver’s recent growth in an article for ColoradoBiz Magazine highlighting the city’s attraction for innovators and entrepreneurs in what he likens to a “present-day Colorado gold rush.” Among the reasons for the boom are the biomedical science and alternative energy sectors, the role of new technologies, and arrival of bigger companies.

fter three decades in the field, and three “Lawyer of the Year” award wins, Lesleigh Wiggs Monahan knows what it takes to succeed in family law. Practicing out of Denver, Monahan has previously served as the chair of the Colorado Bar Association’s family law section; was elected president of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers Colorado Chapter; and held the prestigious role of serving on the Supreme Court Standing Committee on Family Issues. For all her qualifications, Monahan believes that what makes a good family lawyer ultimately comes down to temperament and a sense of larger purpose. “My recommendation for succeeding in this area of practice is that you have to recognize that it isn’t about you,” Monahan says. “I think that’s really important. It’s about your client and honoring and improving the legal system. I strive to treat opposing counsel, and their clients, and the courts with the upmost courtesy—I think it’s easy to let your emotions or your fatigue or stress interfere with your ability to rise above the conflict. You can be effective, you can be strong, and you can get results that are the goals of your client without setting aside common decency.” Along with a wealth of career experience, Monahan’s 30-plus years in the courtroom has allowed her to look critically at the changing nature of family law. Turnover on the bench and a subsequent lack of institutional memory among newer judges can make cases more difficult, particularly when the stakes are as life-altering as divorce. Furthermore, a competitive mentality and focus on winning are often the big motivators for junior attorneys, but the experienced family lawyer respects and understands the bigger picture. “There’s a philosophy or culture of aggressiveness, and it’s really important for a good family lawyer to break through that and talk about finding common ground and resolving issues because a judicial officer, if the case goes to trial, is not going to pick a winner and a loser,” Monahan says. “It’s about what’s equitable and fair. I think that’s the part that I find the most difficult as I move into my third decade.” Family law, like any legal practice, has its challenges. But it also has its share of rewards. For Monahan, that reward is in getting to build meaningful relationships with her clients and making a material difference in their lives. “Without doubt, it’s connecting with a human being. It’s helping someone to move through this process at a difficult time in their life. And when you finalize divorce successfully—and in my mind that means settling the case through negotiation— they know that they can move on to their next phase. They’re better for it; they’re not worse. If you can relieve that anxiety with people, I think that’s the best thing you could possibly do.”

REBUILDING FAITH IN THE LEGAL SYSTEM BURG SIMPSON ELDREDGE HERSH & JARDINE, P.C.

By Margo Pierce

hat drives Michael S. Burg is something he never t houg ht he’d see in his lifetime— everyday people losing faith in the legal system. But the founder and shareholder of Burg Simpson Eldredge Hersh & Jardine, P.C. isn’t surprised it’s happening. “Legislat u res a re ta k i ng away individual rights and the ability to get fair compensation,” Burg explains. “People don’t realize that their rights are at risk.” Using the September gas explosions in Lawrence and Andover, Mass., as an example, Burg explains that many publ ic uti l ities com m issions a re entering into agreements with state governments to limit their liability. Politicians, not juries, decide the compensation victims receive. “Many other firms aren’t willing to take on the risk of going to trial,” he

COLORADO

“People don’t realize that their rights are at risk.” says. “The only way you’re going to be able to get an excellent settlement for your clients is if they know you’re ready to go to trial.” T he erosion of t hese persona l protections is why he and his team of more than 60 lawyers take consumer advocacy cases.

CONSUMER ADVOCATES

“We are the last line of defense to help consumers,” says Burg. “The corporations are running this country now, and it’s up to us to continue to fight on behalf of individuals. If we don’t, they’re not going to have any access to the system.” Wit h si x of f ices i n Colorado, Arizona, Ohio, Wyoming, Florida,

and New Mexico, Burg Simpson is able to offer representation anywhere in the country. And they have the experience to get the best possible results for their clients. T he f i r m’s l aw yers h ave been named as national lead counsel and earned federal court appointments in many significant consumer advocacy cases such as YAZ/Yasmin®, Heparin, Bex t ra /Celebrex , a nd Zy prex a ®. T hey’ve a lso received nu merous awards including 26 listings in The Best Lawyers in America©, No. 1 Product Liability, Mass Tort, and Class Action Plaintiffs in the Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Litigation, and No. 1 National Products Liability Firm from Martindale Hubbell.

PHOTO BY MARK STEVENS

Those award-winning lawyers meet directly with clients and work on every case, says Burg. That’s because it’s essential for the lawyers “to understand how important every case is to the individuals who are harmed and for those same people to know who is serving as their advocate.” “When you’re dealing with insurance companies and you’re dealing with large corporations, they know who we are and they know we’re ready, willing, and able to take a case to trial,” he says. With diverse trial experience in everything from business/commercial litigation and mass torts to medical malpractice and personal injury, Burg Simpson lawyers have the expertise it takes to garner significant awards.

THE REALITY OF TRIALS

They’re sharing their knowledge about trying cases with the next generation of lawyers to make sure

everyday people continue to have access to the courts. Serving as an adjunct professor at the University of Denver’s Sturm College of Law since 1995, Burg says real-life cases show students how important strategy is. “I teach trial tactics,” he explains. “Many times the case will change in the middle of the trial. You have to be listening to what’s going on, to be aware.” Knowing that strategy inside and out makes it possible to make changes on the fly. That’s what Burg Simpson does well. The lawyers work in teams in order to leverage the skills of multiple legal professionals. Burg uses the example of selecting witnesses to illustrate another aspect of the firm’s approach. “For example, in an insurance case we’re looking for an expert who has testified for both sides,” he says. “An expert for the plaintiff who has testified for an insurance company and worked

with them is going to come across as unbiased.” All a good plaintiff’s lawyer needs is a fair trial, but the playing field isn’t always level, Burg continues. That’s why Burg Simpson also pays attention to what’s happening in other court cases so that they’re prepared with current information. How judges handle their cases is a big part of that, which is why the firm includes researching judges as part of their trial strategy. “I’ve been doing this for over 40 years and today the political appointments that are made in the federal and state courts may be more important than your case,” says Burg. “We do this work because we’re dedicated to our clients. You have to have that kind of passion to help people.” Their approach works. The firm has collected over $1 billion in verdicts, judgments, and settlements on behalf of its clients.

CHANGING TERRAIN in COLORADO SKI LAW

By Linda J. Chalat

ntil recently, ski-area accident claims in Colorado were brought under the Ski Safety Act (SSA). But over the past year, both state and federal court rulings have found an intersection between the SSA and the Premises Liability Act (PLA). This development, plus the ubiquitous use of waivers, blurs the liability for ski-accident negligence once clearly defined under the SSA. The PLA protects landowners and defines when liability will be imposed. The statute provides the exclusive remedy against a landowner for injuries sustained on the landowner’s property. The SSA establishes reasonable safety standards and responsibilities of ski-area operators and skiers. Violating the SSA duties “shall…constitute negligence” by the ski-area operator. In prior cases, the SSA was held to establish statutory duties which could not be negated by a waiver.

Senior partner Jim Chalat – the original ski lawyer.

SKI-AREA OPERATORS AND EXCULPATORY CLAUSES Two ski cases in federal court resulted in appellate decisions upholding waivers to bar the claims. In Raup v. Vail Summit Resorts, Inc., ____ Fed. Appx. ____ (10th Cir. 2018); 2018WL2110726, the court analyzed the case of a passenger injured on a chairlift in summer under the PLA. The court held that the unsigned exculpatory agreement printed on back of lift ticket was valid. The court further held that because the PLA does not expressly preclude waivers, a waiver is not void as contrary to the public policy expressed in the PLA. A skier was injured while unloading from a chairlift and filed a claim under the SSA. Brigance v. Vail Summit Resorts, Inc., 883 F.3d 1243 (10th Cir. 2018). The court held the exculpatory agreement was valid. Considering public policy concerns, the court held that the SSA essentially preserves common law negligence claims in certain instances, and common law negligence claims may be waived. In Mitchell v. Vail Summit Resorts, Inc., 2017CV30022 (Summit Dist. Ct.) (March 6, 2018), a skier was injured on a chairlift in winter. The state court, citing Brigance and following its analysis, held that the exculpatory clause printed on the lift ticket was valid. But in a case brought by parents of skier killed by an in-bounds avalanche, Ingalls et al. v. The Vail Corp., 2015CV15 (Eagle Dist. Ct.) (June 8, 2018), the court disagreed with the analysis in Brigance and held that the Ski Safety Act does articulate public policy regarding the duties imposed on a ski area operator, and therefore those duties cannot be modified by private agreement. Looking forward, snow sports enthusiasts should assume that the waiver language encountered at ski resorts will likely be enforced, giving ski-area operators even greater immunity than previously granted under the SSA.

“Waiver language encountered at ski resorts will likely be enforced.”

WHEN IS A SKI-AREA OPERATOR A LANDOWNER? A skier at Keystone Resort, a Vail Resorts property, was a passenger on a chairlift. When unloading, she encountered other skiers who had fallen, creating a pileup. On a motion to dismiss, the court held the SSA controls over the PLA when the ski-area operator is alleged to have violated a duty of the SSA, but the PLA controls if the claim does not involve a breach of a duty imposed by the SSA and the alleged duty does not arise from an inherent risk of skiing. A plaintiff may therefore have a claim under the PLA or the SSA, but not both. Pakis v. Vail Summit Resorts, Inc., 2018CV30010 (Summit Dist. Ct.) (July 3, 2018).
