Denver
Holme Roberts & Owen LLP (HRO) is an international law firm with approximately 230 lawyers based in ten Arizona, California, Colorado, Utah, and European offices. More than 100 years old, the firm’s tradition of partnering with the finest railroad, mining, and oil and gas pioneers has evolved to include entrepreneurs driving complex business transactions, technology innovation, and environmental change.
HRO has built a strong reputation in the areas of litigation, intellectual property, and corporate law, and leading publications and publishers, such as Super Lawyers, Chambers USA, Lawdragon 500, and Legal Media consistently rank our lawyers as leaders in these and other practice areas. Firm attorneys have successfully resolved some of the largest and most complex mergers and acquisitions, financings, and IPOs, concluded intricate, comprehensive jury verdicts, and secured intellectual property rights for a host of innovative products. While the firm represents some of the nation’s most widely recognized brands, it also represents hundreds of smaller companies and family businesses. HRO lawyers’ knowledge of cutting-edge legal theories and ability to deliver practical, daily advice delivers a winning combination.
Our Approach
At HRO, we focus on listening to our clients to understand their business and legal needs, while also working to generate unique, creative, and cost-effective solutions. Since clients’ concerns are top priority, each client is assigned one lawyer who personally oversees budget, staffing, strategy, planning, and outcome. That attorney is the central point of contact, ensuring expert knowledge combined with first-rate availability and client management. Our focus on regular client communications ensures client satisfaction with the lawyers assigned, the work produced, and the results achieved.
Beyond their close and effective one-on-one relationship with the client, HRO attorneys use advanced computer and telecommunications technology to draw upon the skills and knowledge of lawyers in all HRO offices. With our nine practice areas and multiple sub areas of expertise, these connections’ benefits are enormous, allowing clients to utilize HRO lawyers’ local, regional, national and international expertise.
Our Broad Practice
Whether a client is an individual or part of a corporation, partnership, or other business entity, HRO can provide legal counsel to fit the client’s needs. While HRO focuses on corporate, litigation, and intellectual property cases, lawyers also serve as advocates for clients in areas as diverse as securities, antitrust, sports and entertainment, including facility design, finance, naming rights, the environment, clean technology, media, computer, Internet and emerging business, banking and finance, bankruptcy, employment law and employee benefits (ERISA), natural resources, tax, estate planning, religious organizations, hotels and resorts, health care, nonprofit organizations, real estate, and torts.
Our Commitment to Community Service
HRO’s deep-rooted commitment to helping others dates back to the firm’s founding in 1898 and is a distinguishing characteristic of the firm. Engrained in our culture’s fabric, the commitment extends to all employees. Our attorneys give of time and talent through pro bono work. All employees give back to our communities through leading or supporting local civic and cultural institutions and initiatives.
The United Way is one organization with whom we partner closely. HRO is the foremost law firm partner of Mile High United Way (MHUW). Employee contributions to the MHUW total approximately $100,000 annually. The firm contributes approximately $400,000 annually to causes in the communities its employees live and work.
HRO’s Community Involvement Committee organizes numerous projects and volunteer events throughout the year such as fundraising lunches, book fairs, blood drives, bowl-a-thons, run/walks and holiday gift basket packing parties. These projects and events provide a valuable opportunity for HRO staff and attorneys to get to know one another and work together toward productive community goals.
