Stephen B. Shapiro

Stephen Shapiro is a partner with the firm.

Mr. Shapiro’s practice is concentrated in commercial litigation, primarily with respect to the representation of construction contractors, policyholders, financial institutions, commercial landlords, and private and public business enterprises.

The nature of his construction practice is broad based. His experience includes claims arising from new construction of infrastructure and improvements. A significant portion of Mr. Shapiro’s practice involves the pursuit and recovery of insurance benefits on behalf of policyholders, including construction-defect liability claims, property and casualty claims, E&O and D&O claims, surety bond claims, and title insurance claims. Mr. Shapiro succeeded in expanding the rights of policyholders in insurance bad faith litigation in Colorado, by convincing the Colorado Supreme Court to interpret the Colorado Consumer Protection Act to apply to the insurance industry and to bad faith claim-handling practices.

Mr. Shapiro has litigated cases at the trial and appellate levels throughout the state court system and in the federal courts. His litigation practice entails both bench and jury trials, administrative proceedings, arbitration and other forms of alternative dispute resolution, and appellate advocacy. He has received Martindale Hubbell’s highest rating of AV.

Mr. Shapiro is active in professional and educational organizations. He serves on the Board of Directors for the University of Northern Colorado Foundation. Mr. Shapiro also is a long standing member of the Board of Directors of the Colorado Office of Consumer Counsel, Department of Regulatory Agencies.

Prior to entering private practice, Mr. Shapiro served as a law clerk to the Honorable Dale P. Tursi of the Colorado Courts of Appeals. Mr. Shapiro is a cum laude graduate of the Creighton University Law School. He received his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Northern Colorado.
