Shook, Hardy & Bacon LLP

Co-Chair, General Liability Litigation Practice Group

Paul focuses his trial practice on complex litigation and trial practice management, partnering with clients to create relationships that achieve better legal outcomes at an exceptional value.

He believes win-win partnerships with clients are built on collaboration, innovation, strategic action and trust—all of which ultimately bring better results and the metrics to prove them.

He has received national recognition for his innovative use of alternative financial arrangements and founded Coefficient Litigation Management® to curtail legal spend and effectively manage otherwise unpredictable litigation. His success in managing entire dockets of litigation using alternative fee arrangements have resulted in his being tapped as a featured speaker, panelist, author and expert source by organizations that include InsideCounsel, Corporate Counsel, The American Lawyer, the American Bar Association, the Association of Corporate Counsel, The Ark Law Group, Globe Law & Business, the Clear Law Institute and LexisNexis.

Paul has been named as an Acritas Star, a Client Service All-Star by BTI Consulting, and as a Litigation Trailblazer by National Law Journal for his client-first focused relationships and his leadership in alternative fee arrangements. He is the managing partner of the Denver office.
