“We are excited to make a strong introduction of our Corporate Practice in Colorado, and to strengthen our offerings to clients on a national basis through Keith’s corporate expertise in a variety of industries, including natural resources, resorts and hospitality, life sciences, media and entertainment, consumer products and food and beverage,” said Susan Murley, WilmerHale’s co-managing partner.
“Keith is a tremendous addition to our rapidly growing office in Denver, and his leadership on corporate issues complements our office’s deep expertise in the areas of intellectual property (IP) litigation; energy, environment and natural resources (EENR); and litigation and government investigations,” said Natalie Hanlon Leh, co-partner-in-charge of the firm’s Denver office.

“I am thrilled to rejoin several of my former colleagues, including Andy Spielman and Tom Strickland, to help grow WilmerHale’s Corporate Practice in Denver,” Mr. Trammell said. “WilmerHale has become a major presence in Denver in just a few short years, and the firm has been retained by some of the region’s most prominent companies in the areas of natural resources, IP litigation, complex government and internal investigations, and strategic response and counseling. I look forward to building the same success in the region with the Corporate Practice.”
