CHICAGO, July 25,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Gould & Ratner

Denver, Colorado, providing a
foundation for the firm to serve a wide variety of local clients,

region where we already have had a longtime connection to
representing our clients' interests in the areas of corporate
transactions, real estate, hospitality, manufacturing, litigation,
employment, technology, construction, alternative energy, and
family office and private investment fund work, among others," said
Jessica Lingertat, one of Gould
& Ratner's Managing Partners. "Opening this office gives us a
home base for our new Denver
partners and their work, as well as a platform for the entire firm
to build on and grow its ever-expanding client base."

office in the LoDo neighborhood is its first location outside
Chicago, where the firm began in
the 1930s. The firm's connections to the Denver area and the greater Rocky Mountain
region have grown over the years and include representation of a
variety of well-known and emerging clients such as Aspen Skiing
Company, Laws Whiskey House, Float Health, Golden Aluminum, Zentana
Conference Resorts, and Gillig, including its Colorado Technology
Center in Loveland.
"Our growth plans for Denver
and the region are strategically based on our clients' needs," said
Lingertat, adding that Gould & Ratner has already seen
significant interest from lawyers at other firms.
"We are attracting lawyers interested in a smaller but scalable
