Michael Connor, a partner in the firm’s Energy, Environment and Natural Resources Practice, was named Best Renewable Energy Lawyer. Law Week Colorado noted, “After decades in the public sector, Mike Connor joined WilmerHale in 2017, bringing with him what colleagues have called ‘encyclopedic knowledge’ of the inner workings of the Interior Department. Connor rose to second-in-command at the agency after holding a number of high-level posts there.”
Gina Rodriguez, a partner in the office’s Government and Regulatory Litigation Practice, was named Best Overall Litigator. Law Week Colorado noted, “When Gina Rodriguez came to WilmerHale in May … she added another face to the firm’s stable of former government and public service attorneys. Rodriguez served as assistant US attorney and chief of the civil division in Colorado’s US Attorney’s Office.”
Keith Trammell, who leads the office’s Corporate Practice, was recognized as Best Private Equity Lawyer. Law Week Colorado noted, “(Trammell is) a big name around WilmerHale but obviously a big name around town as well. His list of big transactions includes representing major entities such as Vail Resorts, Regal Entertainment and Nordstrom in transactions as well as private equity firms in major investments.”
