DENVER (November 22, 2024)—The 2025 edition of Benchmark Litigation included five Fortis Law Partners attorneys in its prestigious annual publication, recognized as the definitive guide to the world’s leading litigation firms and lawyers. Equity partners Chris Lamb, Henry Baskerville, David Olsky and Cara Thornton were honored as Litigation Stars, lawyers who are highly regarded by their peers and possess a strong case record and positive client feedback. Partner Liz Hartsel earned the title of Future Star, which spotlights lawyers building their reputations in the market.
This honor further highlights the strength and depth of the firm’s litigation practice, which was recently ranked in the 2024 Chambers USA guide, a distinction earned by only the top 0.5% of U.S. law firms. Several other respected industry organizations have also commended the firm, including Super Lawyers, Best Law Firms, Litigation Counsel of America and Martindale-Hubbell.
Fortis Law Partners’ litigation team is widely respected for its expertise in handling all phases of commercial litigation, including complex business matters, real estate disputes, securities litigation, and financial services disputes. The team has substantial experience litigating in federal and state trial and appellate courts nationwide, as well as in administrative agencies. Fortis attorneys are known for their skilled work on high-stakes “bet-the-company” cases, managing critical litigation that can make or break the future of client businesses.
“Our team focuses on one goal: zealously representing our client’s best interests,” said Henry Baskerville. “Countless lawyers can claim to be involved in ‘litigation,’ but we are trial lawyers. We’re thrilled that Benchmark Litigation has included us among the nation’s top litigation professionals, and we remain steadfast in our mission to protect and advance our clients’ interests in every case.”
The annual Benchmark Litigation guide is known for its rigorous selection process, which includes extensive interviews with litigators, dispute resolution experts, and clients and in-depth research into each nominee’s recent casework.
