Holland & Hart LLP

A Leader in Bankruptcy Representation
Holland & Hart's Bankruptcy Practice Group is a leader in bankruptcy, insolvency, restructuring, and creditors' rights throughout the Mountain West Region. With highly experienced practitioners in our Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Utah, and Wyoming offices, we are prepared to deal efficiently and effectively with all kinds of bankruptcy or insolvency matters our clients might face.

Comprehensive Experience and Coordinated Efforts
Our success in representing bankruptcy matters arises from the refined skill and experience of our lawyers and the tremendous resources that accompany a full-service law firm. Bankruptcy is a unique area of practice requiring highly specialized knowledge of the law, an understanding of how that law fits into the broader legal and commercial framework, and a full range of transactional and litigation skills. Our lawyers are particularly effective because we have the experience to bring this combination of skills to bear on any legal problem.

Our industry experience includes almost every conceivable type of business, both in the region and nationally. Our clients are financial institutions, commercial lenders, landlords, equipment lessors, asset purchasers, and a host of others whose interests are affected by bankruptcy.

Holland & Hart's Statement of Commitment to Diversity
We are proud of our tradition of fostering and maintaining a work environment in which the diversity of each individual is valued and celebrated. We believe that the contributions of each individual are essential to our continued growth and to our ultimate goal of providing excellent quality legal services to our clients, with greater creativity and innovation. We are committed to taking full advantage of the rich backgrounds and abilities of our people and to promoting a greater diversity whenever and wherever possible.

Diversity Pledge
Holland & Hart is committed to promoting diversity by:

• Making every possible effort to recruit, hire, retain, and promote diverse persons at all levels of employment.
• Promoting greater sensitivity to the value of racial, ethnic and other forms of diversity, through diversity and sensitivity coaching or training for law firm members.
• Inviting to partnership diverse attorneys who meet the requisite criteria.

Diversity Initiatives
The following are additional examples of our commitment and efforts toward supporting and achieving diversity:

• We make a conscious effort to ensure that women and diverse attorneys are included as voting members of our committees of importance within the firm.
• We work closely with law school deans and placement directors in an effort to identify women and diverse law students who are interested in working at Holland & Hart.
• Holland & Hart offers medical and other benefits to partners of gay and lesbian employees on the same terms as it does to spouses of employees.
• We created an Indian Law Practice Group and actively recruited Native American law students and lateral hires.
• Each year we contribute to such scholarship funds as the Colorado Native American Indian Scholarship Fund, the Sam Cary Scholarship Endowment Fund, the Colorado Asian American Bar Scholarship Fund, the Colorado Hispanic Bar Scholarship Fund, and the Colorado Women's Bar Association Scholarship Fund.
• In partnership with the University of Idaho School of Law, we sponsor a "Law by Day, Jazz by Night" each year for undergraduate minority students who have an interest in law.
• We took a leadership role in organizing and supporting the Colorado Pledge Group's Minority First Year Law Student Summer Clerk Program. Through this program, law firms agreed to add at least one diverse first year law student to their summer clerk program.
• We were involved in the creation of the Cross-Professional Business Networking Group, where diverse attorneys in our community can meet and network with non-attorney professionals of color. We view this as a way to help diverse attorneys increase their business development possibilities.
