Brent Owen is a first-chair trial lawyer trusted by clients to handle high-stakes litigation – including complicated environmental claims, class action disputes and bet-the-company litigation. His clients include midstream oil and gas operators, manufacturers, pipeline companies, ranchers, mining companies, fast food chains and convenience store operators.
Before law school, Brent attended college on a full scholarship as a Division I football player. He understands the value of consistent hard work in achieving a favorable result.
His experience includes trials in both state and federal courts before judges and juries and in arbitration tribunals, including the International Chamber of Commerce and the American Arbitration Association. A former law clerk to the Colorado Supreme Court, Brent brings creative approaches to resolve litigation in a client’s favor as early as possible. If that fails, Brent is well situated to go to trial on the merits and will protect a client’s interests through appeal. In fact, on multiple occasions, Brent has been retained shortly before trial and achieved favorable outcomes in those instances. Brent’s experience includes litigating a wide range of complicated environmental issues, including “forever chemicals,” Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) lawsuits and state environmental laws. Brent has obtained multimillion-dollar judgments, defense verdicts in cases with seven-figure exposure and multimillion-dollar settlements.
During law school, Brent externed for the Honorable Kristen L. Mix and the Honorable Christine Arguello at the US District Court in the District of Colorado. Following law school, Brent served as a law clerk to the Honorable Nancy E. Rice of the Colorado Supreme Court.
