The national law firm of Quarles & Brady LLP<\/a> announced today its combination with Adsero IP, a leading intellectual property (IP) law firm in Denver, effective March 1, 2023.

\u201cDenver has been one of the fastest-growing cities in the country, with vibrant telecommunications, software, energy, health care, life sciences and financial investment sectors,\u201d said Michael Aldana, firm managing partner and chair of the executive committee at Quarles. \u201cGiven our depth in IP and technology, opening an office in Denver was a logical next step in our growth trajectory. Adsero’s track record of growth and success over the past nearly 30 years, along with its team that brings significant experience guiding clients on their IP strategies, make them an ideal partner in the Denver market.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs our practices grew and diversified over the past five years, the advantages of a larger platform became evident,\u201d said Ian Saffer, current managing partner of Adsero. \u201cQuarles presented us with an ideal opportunity to help establish its presence in Colorado as we combine our two firms\u2019 strong capabilities in IP, while maintaining our shared commitment to the individual needs of clients and providing exceptional service. We\u2019re excited about the many opportunities to collaborate and leverage a national platform to enhance the value we provide to our clients, our people and our community.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCombining with Adsero gives Quarles a strong presence in the ever-burgeoning Denver market and adds even greater depth to our Intellectual Property Practice Group, which has spent over 100 years helping clients achieve their business goals,\u201d said Brad Vynalek<\/a>, Quarles firm president. \u201cWe are proud to add Adsero\u2019s exceptional team to our already robust IP group, which now includes more than 140 attorneys and business professionals across the U.S.\u201d<\/p>\n
