HHMR and Every One of its Partners Recognized by Legal 500 in Denver Elite – Real Estate

Higgins, Hopkins, McLain & Roswell, LLC is pleased to announce its recognition as a Tier 1 firm in the Denver Elite rankings for Real Estate, a category that includes construction law and construction litigation, by The Legal 500.  In addition, each of the firm’s partners has been individually recognized in the same rankings.

The firm’s individual recognitions include:

Understanding the Category

The Legal 500’s Denver Elite rankings highlight leading law firms and attorneys within the Denver legal market.  Within these rankings, Legal 500 groups construction law and construction litigation within its broader “Real Estate” category.

As a result, firms recognized in this category include those involved across the full lifecycle of construction and development, from transactional real estate work to complex construction disputes.

HHMR’s inclusion reflects its role within that broader ecosystem, representing builders, developers, contractors, and other construction professionals in high-exposure, multi-party litigation throughout Colorado.

A Firm Built for Construction Litigation

Construction defect litigation is often defined by inefficiency, prolonged timelines, and escalating costs.  HHMR was built to operate differently.

The firm’s focus is straightforward:

Achieve the best possible outcome, as early as possible, at the lowest possible total cost.

HHMR executes on that focus through:

  • Disciplined, proactive case management
  • Strategic positioning from the outset of each matter
  • A team-based model that aligns work with the appropriate billing level
  • A consistent emphasis on moving cases toward resolution while maintaining leverage

This approach allows the firm to handle complex, high-exposure matters while delivering results that compete with, and often exceed, those of significantly larger firms.

Recognition Across the Firm

The firm’s Tier 1 ranking, combined with individual recognition for each of its partners, reflects more than individual achievement.  It underscores the depth of the HHMR team and the firm’s commitment to delivering consistent results across matters.

Rather than relying on any single attorney, HHMR operates as a coordinated team, with clearly defined roles and a shared commitment to execution, accountability, and efficiency.

About Legal 500

Looking Ahead

HHMR is honored to be recognized by Legal 500 and remains focused on continuing to deliver strong outcomes for its clients in the construction industry.
