The award is given annually to a Colorado tax lawyer who has made significant contributions to the practice of tax law. Merriam has practiced tax law in Denver since 1978 and has taught as an adjunct professor for the University of Denver Sturm College of Law and Graduate Tax Program. He has been an active and contributing member of the CBA Tax Section and the Greater Denver Tax Counsel Association.
On February 20, members had a chance to create their own terrariums at Birdsall & Co. Garden Boutique as part of the DBA’s Attorney Wellness Program. The program hosts monthly activities to celebrate creativity, inclusiveness, and uniqueness within the legal community.
