Colorado corporate law centers on business formation, regulatory compliance, and mergers and acquisitions.
Please note that these popular practice areas depend on numerous variables such as the local economy, new law, and level of enforcement and are always subject to change. In addition, the rankings of these practice areas are simply predictions based upon local economic/law firm information found online at the US Census Bureau website, Martindale.com, Mass.gov, MassEconomy.org, and Wikipedia.org.


1. Finance: With Denver serving as the hub, there is much work to be done in this hot legal field. Colorado finance law tends to include careers in securities, banking, and bankruptcy.

2. Corporate: Colorado corporate law centers on business formation, regulatory compliance, and mergers and acquisitions. Keep an eye out for employment listings involving emerging professional responsibility issues.

3. Litigation: Litigation is always in style in Colorado. Careers in Colorado litigation law range impressively from personal injury to insurance, with employment opportunities available throughout. In addition, many Colorado firms now focus their practices on mining and transportation work.

4. Employment: Grounded by Denver's diverse economy, Colorado employment law stands tall and offers an array of job possibilities. As of late there has been a spike in employment law when it comes to careers dealing with discrimination lawsuits of any type as well as sexual harassment actions.

5. Technology: There has been a visible increase in the number of successful high-technology law firms in Colorado as of late. Many law firms are connected to local biotechnology and telecommunication companies as well as government-related industries.

6. Intellectual Property: Legal work within the intellectual property area in Colorado has traditionally been dominated by patent and trademark firms. There are also a good number of niche high-tech firms that exclusively deal with advertising, licensing, and trade secrets.

7. Tax: The focus of Colorado tax law has always been related to the corporate and finance practice areas noted above. Consequently, be on the lookout for firms and businesses with jobs revolving around direct links to those areas.

8. Healthcare: In Colorado, HMO, coverage, and premium issues dominate the healthcare landscape. There are many jobs in this exciting field. In addition, careers connected to fraud and collection legal issues are on the rise.

9. Bankruptcy: With numerous large businesses calling Colorado home, there is never a shortage of work in this growing area of law. Chapter 7 and dischargeability legal careers are particularly popular legal subcategories in this field.

10. Agricultural: Colorado has always been a leading agricultural force, and the legal work associated thereof always has much to offer. Most legal work relates to produce and farming.
