Director/Shareholder

Jim Thomas is a business lawyer with years of corporate and M&A experience in Greater Denver and a little-known knack for handling the front end of a tandem bike, where he's known as “Captain.” Most of Jim's clients are privately-held companies and individuals who look to him as a long-term, trusted advisor, helping with business issues and purchase and sales transactions all over the U.S.

He enjoys working in varied industries, representing a wide variety of businesses from formation through exit and succession strategies, and whenever complex issues arise in the business life cycle. These include:

• Manufacturers
• Distributors
• Construction companies
• Publishers
• Service companies
• Real estate investors
In addition, Jim represents other lawyers and law firms in their business transactions. "I'm told that one of my strengths is that I'm a good listener," according to Jim. "I often spend a good portion of a meeting quietly assimilating the thoughts of clients and other advisors before I begin to propose my ideas to the client. That's a big plus for clients who might otherwise lose sight of the forest."
