Law Firm Overview

We know the territory . . . .

After all, we've been around awhile, since 1891, and are one of Colorado's oldest firms. Notable lawyers at the firm have included Wiley Rutledge, who went on to the United States Supreme Court, Frank Kemp, founder of the Great West Sugar Company, master trial lawyer Jim Buchanan, and the legendary Hutchinsons, Dudley, Dudley Jr., and Hank.

As the territory grew so did we . . . .

In recent decades Boulder has matured from scenic college town to a vibrant high-tech and employment center and Hutchinson Black and Cook often forged the way. Our business lawyers have negotiated and managed many of Boulder's and metropolitan Denver's most intricate and significant transactions, from venture capital to real estate development, for clients ranging from biotechnology and high technology manufacturing, to professional partnerships, to closely-held entities and individuals. Our trial lawyers have successfully litigated many of Boulder's and Colorado's most significant casesfrom winning record verdicts to saving clients in bet-the-company casesand have tried cases in a number of other states.

Community matters . . . .

Our 110 years of broad-based practice from downtown Boulder mean Hutchinson Black and Cook knows things, and can do things a branch office may not be able to know and do. Our tradition of service places the highest priority on providing clients with individualized attention and legal work of the best qualityaggressively, efficiently, and economically. With lawyers from the top ranks of the best schools, we offer the sophistication of a large firm practice--deal for deal, case for case--with the cost-effectiveness and personal service of a smaller firm.
