Public Entity Law

Our attorneys have significant experience in the representation of public officials and entities, including the State of Colorado, its agencies and employees, as well as municipalities such as the City of Des Moines and the City of Arvada. Litigation of this nature has involved the defense of claims governed by the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act, claims alleging Constitutional violations pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, and personnel and employment related claims involving allegations of discrimination, sexual harassment and general tort litigation. Our attorneys have been frequently invited to lecture on risk management and litigation issues unique to government officials, employees and agencies, and actively assist our clients in the prevention of claims in order to avoid the necessity for litigation. As trial and appellate counsel, our attorneys have been successful in working closely with our clients to develop and execute vigorous defense strategies.
