WHAT MAKES FERGUSON SCHINDLER DIFFERENT? 

We’re shaped by Aspen’s renowned reputation for excellence. We have brought our big law experience in New York and Chicago to the Roaring Fork Valley since 1995. We work locally, nationally, and internationally—understanding mountain resort businesses and communities  maintaining major firm capabilities. You work directly with our partners. We return calls the same day. We’re nimble, roll up our sleeves on the most difficult cases, and know the courts and opposing counsel near and far. Whether structuring real estate transactions, drafting complex contracts, or trying tough cases, we bring decades of expertise with local knowledge. Our clients are neighbors, local businesses, national companies and high-profile individuals—each receives our complete attention. 

HOW DOES YOUR TRIAL EXPERIENCE  SHAPE YOUR TRANSACTIONAL WORK? 

When you’ve actually tried cases, you understand litigation’s real costs and risks. That knowledge informs every negotiation and contract. We structure deals to avoid disputes, but when conflicts arise, the opponent knows we’re not bluffing—we’re always poised to try a case. Paradoxically this allows us to resolve many disputes early and on better terms. We handle real estate disputes, construction litigation, HOA governance issues, land use and sophisticated development/ governmental action challenges, partnership conflicts, business torts, complicated mass/class actions and cross border disputes. It’s critical to counsel clients honestly: if a deal shouldn’t be done or a case isn’t a winner, we say so. That honesty is professionalism. Our calling is to be great lawyers and to do so every day ethically and affordably. 

WHAT SHOULD SOMEONE LOOK FOR  IN A LAW FIRM? 

Find lawyers who have actually tried cases—experience shapes strategy. Look for responsiveness and straight talk. Will they tell you when to settle or fight? Choose someone who knows your market. We practice throughout the Roaring Fork and Vail Valleys, the western slope and Denver-metro. We understand the unique legal problems that come with these communities—whether sophisticated development conflicts to high-value property disputes. Get attorneys who listen and have the experience to shape and the courage to achieve  your objectives—relationships matter.
