Lyons Gaddis Announces Election of Two New Shareholders

Lyons Gaddis – is thrilled to announce that Chad Kupper and Jeffrey Rose have been elected shareholders in the Firm effective January 1, 2021.

This class of new shareholders represents the next generation in the Firm’s region-leading legal team.  Managing shareholder, Cameron Grant, stated, “I could not be happier to have Chad and Jeff as shareholders at the firm.  Each has continuously shown their talent in delivering stellar legal work, providing value to clients on the business side, and carving out niches for themselves in their practice areas.  In addition, they are simply great people, exhibiting qualities that make them leaders in the legal industry and within the firm.  Congratulations!”

Mr. Kupper joined the Firm in 2008 as an associate after beginning his career at an estate planning/real estate law firm in Castle Rock.  He has spent his tenure with Lyons Gaddis becoming an integral part of our specialty practice groups, including Government Practice, Real Estate, and Business Transactions.  Chad has expertise in an array of business and real estate matters, including landlord/tenant, acquisition and sale, multi-stakeholder
negotiations and complex entity formations.  He also handles local government matters, including bond issuance, contract drafting and administration, and litigation.  Outside the firm, he is the Real Estate Section Chair for the Boulder County Bar Association, a board member for the Friends of the Longmont Museum, and is active in the Longmont Area Chamber of Commerce and Longmont Twin Peaks Rotary Club. He is a committed gearhead too. 

Mr. Rose joined the Firm in 2017 as special counsel.  He has become a leader in our flourishing Litigation Group and regularly represents businesses and individuals in complex commercial disputes, employment agreements, real estate and financial matters, estate disputes, arbitrations, and appeals.  Jeff also has extensive expertise in personal injury and water litigation.  He has earned a reputation as a tenacious but fair advocate for his clients and has been recognized by Super Lawyers as a Rising Star in Civil Litigation. Jeff has previously served as judicial law clerk to the Hon. Norman D. Haglund on the Denver District Court and he was a partner at the firm of Driscoll Rose LLC in Boulder, Colorado. He has served the Boulder County Bar Association in many capacities and is currently the Bar President in 2020/2021, a most challenging year. He finds time to be a world class Icelandic horse rider.

Catherine Tallerico, co-Managing shareholder of Lyons Gaddis, said: “We are a growing team of extremely talented attorneys.  Chad and Jeff represent exactly the type of lawyers that our founding partners would be proud to call colleagues.  They have each carved out powerful niches within their practice areas that attract clients due to their wealth of knowledge and the enormous value they provide.  Finally, Chad and Jeff focus on our core mission to provide the highest quality legal service and counsel to our clients from an enduring, supportive, and engaging environment.  That mission is the reason for the success of Lyons Gaddis over the past 50 years.  I am so happy for the two new shareholders — they deserve every bit of their success.”
