Buchalter expands intellectual property practice in Denver

Buchalter is pleased to announce that Steven Weigler has joined the firm as an Intellectual Property Partner in its Denver office. Weigler brings with him Associate Marie Dutton, forming an exceptional team of legal talent that adds depth to Buchalter’s intellectual property practice.

“Steve’s holistic cross-specialization in business and extensive background in intellectual property law make him an asset to our growing Denver office,” said Adam Bass, President and Chief Executive Officer of Buchalter. “Steve, Marie, and their experienced team are a great fit for the capabilities of our firm.”

Weigler is a nationally recognized specialist in the strategic protection of brand and other intellectual property around the US and the world.

“Joining Buchalter, a comprehensive business firm, was a natural next step for us,” said Weigler. “As my clients grow their businesses, so do their legal needs, and Buchalter offers a national platform and a full range of resources that align perfectly with my growing practice.”

Over the years, Weigler has advised businesses on their intellectual property, giving him the legal skills to manage all stages of growth and exit. His entrepreneurial perspective in building a predictive analytics startup, balanced by his role as senior counsel for a Fortune 50 technology company, has also allowed him to develop the skills required to be an empathetic general counsel for businesses primarily in the SaaS and eCommerce sectors.

Dutton specializes in intellectual property law. She holds a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Colorado State University and a J.D. from the University of Missouri School of Law. She is also a former Legal Extern with Venture Partners, the Technology Transfer Office of the University of Colorado-Boulder.

Rob Hinckley, Managing Partner of the firm’s Denver office, added, “Steve and Marie have deep experience navigating the business and technical aspects of intellectual property assets, which will be a major benefit to our clients. We’re delighted to have them on board.”
