The firm recently welcomed its newest attorney, Coren Hinkle, who joined the firm in June of this year. In addition to strengthening the firm's dispute resolution and transactional practices, Coren also focuses on import/export regulations.
The firm has a strong commitment to legal education and all of its attorneys spend significant time and energy working with law students in Colorado, France, Japan and China principally as coaches for the Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot in Vienna and Hong Kong, as well as through other activities.
