Perkins Coie Celebrates the 25th Anniversary of Its Denver Office

DENVER (October 21, 2022)—Perkins Coie is pleased to celebrate the 25th anniversary of its thriving Denver office. The office, which first opened for business in 1997, comprises more than 90 lawyers and business professionals today. This year it placed fifth on the Denver Business Journal's 2022 "Best Places to Work" list.

Starting with just three lawyers, the firm's Denver office originally opened to better serve a major telecommunications industry client. In the ensuing years, the office has expanded significantly to provide a full range of legal services to a broad variety of businesses and entrepreneurs across the nation.

"As we celebrate our 25th anniversary in the Mile High City, we acknowledge that our continued success in serving clients in Denver and beyond would not be possible without our dedicated lawyers and business professionals," said Dave St. John-Larkin, Perkins Coie's Denver office managing partner. "We look forward to continuing our service to the business community and offering our full spectrum of legal services for many years to come."

In celebration of their anniversary, the Denver office is giving back as part of the celebration with a financial donation through the Perkins Coie Foundation to support Project Angel Heart and through days of service with both Promise Ranch Therapies & Recreation and Project Angel Heart. Project Angel Heart was founded in 1991 and supports the Colorado community by preparing and delivering medically tailored meals to people living with severe illness. Promise Ranch Therapies & Recreation provides equine-assisted activities and therapies for children and adults with developmental, physical, social or emotional healing needs.

Perkins Coie has long been recognized for its commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive culture. The firm was ranked as the #8 U.S. employer among the 2022 "Best Workplaces in Consulting & Professional Services" by Great Place to Work®, has been recognized as one of Fortune's "100 Best Companies to Work For®" for 20 consecutive years, and has been named an Inclusion Blueprint Champion by Diversity Lab. The firm has also earned the Human Rights Campaign Foundation's top rating of 100% in the Corporate Equality Index, a national benchmarking survey on corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ+ workplace equality, for 14 straight years.
