Civil law enforcement actions prosecuted by the Attorney General are unlike other forms of litigation because the investigations are backed by the State’s practically limitless resources. As a result, they’re often overly expansive and invasive. The litigation arising from those investigations is typically unencumbered by business judgment or financial constraints and, instead, is often pursued for political purposes. An investigation’s effect on a business can be dramatic, ranging from changes to the way it operates to its overall viability. These dynamics make litigation against the State a daunting prospect. Simply put, those facing the Attorney General’s office need someone on their side who can help level the playing field.
We help protect businesses and other entities from Attorney General investigations which, in recent years, have grown to include an ever-longer list of industries and perceived wrongdoings. Unlike most firms, we have experience defending – and winning – cases against the Colorado Attorney General through trial. So many, in fact, that it’s earned us the nickname, “Enemies of the State.” Our team includes former prosecutors who understand the demands this kind of litigation places on a defendant, as well as the Attorney General’s motivations and incentives. We provide our clients with the thoughtful yet aggressive legal strategy necessary when facing the Attorney General.
