Growing Verdicts, Insurance-Related Trials on the Rise

Law Week Colorado reported on Shook’s recent rankings in the Best Lawyers in America 2025 report of “Best Law Firms.” For the first time, Best Lawyers recognized Shook’s Denver office for commercial litigation. Denver is also a part of Shook’s business litigation practice ranked as a Tier 1 nationally serving clients coast to coast.

“In commercial litigation, Eric Hobbs, a partner in Shook’s Denver office, noted that fewer cases are going to trial, but when they do, jury verdicts are growing. He’s also seeing an uptick in insurance-related trials,” wrote Law Week Colorado.

On the privacy front of commercial litigation, Partner Dan Rohner said that his team is leading the defense on dozens of privacy cases. “Plaintiffs are targeting the use of routine website analytics and marketing tools like the Meta Pixel and Google Analytics, alleging that those types of ubiquitous website tools intercept communications between visitors and the website in violation of state and federal law,” said Rohner. 

Following its opening nearly a decade ago, the Denver office provides clients with superior legal counsel in high-stakes complex litigation, including class actions, locally and nationwide. Alongside commercial litigation, the Denver attorneys bring experience within a variety of practice areas such as business torts, breach of contract, employment law and more. 

“In our first ten years in the Denver office, we have continued to build out our local capabilities and support clients with commercial and liability litigation, data privacy, artificial intelligence, intellectual property, product safety and risk avoidance,” said Denver Managing Partner Paul Williams.
