Olson Grimsley Partners Earn Top Honors in Chambers USA 2026 Rankings

Firm also selected among Colorado’s best for litigation

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Olson Grimsley is pleased to announce it has once again been selected among Colorado’s top litigation firms by Chambers USA, with five partners ranked among the state’s best by the prestigious legal guide.

The firm received a Band 1 rating, the highest possible, in Colorado for its litigation work primarily on behalf of plaintiffs. Partners Eric Olson, Kenzo Kawanabe and Sean Grimsley also earned individual Band 1 ratings, and partners Jason Murray and Abigail Hinchcliff received Up and Coming recognition.

“I am incredibly proud of our team for this recognition from Chambers USA,” Mr. Grimsley said. “Having five of our partners honored underscores the depth and range of our litigation practice. This achievement reflects our collective commitment to excellence and our firm’s ability to deliver results for our clients.”

"They are fantastic litigators who are very skilled when it comes to trials and oral arguments," a firm client told Chambers USA researchers. “Olson Grimsley is comprised of one A+ trial lawyer after another."

Mr. Olson secured Band 1 rankings for appellate work and plaintiffs’ litigation. It was his third Chambers USA honor for appellate work. A firm client described him as "someone who understands the power of the practice of law and has made a decision to harness that power and use it for good." He is “down-to-earth and great on the stand” and “his reputation is sterling.”

Mr. Kawanabe, also a Chambers honoree for a third year, maintained his Band 1 status for his litigation work in Colorado. Other lawyers described him as someone who is in “his very essence a trial lawyer” and “truly an impact litigator.”

Mr. Grimsley also earned repeat recognition and a Band 1 rating for his standout work in plaintiffs’ litigation. Clients told Chambers researchers that he “is an elite trial lawyer,” “incredibly tenacious,” and that “any lawyer would fear him on the other side.”

Mr. Murray and Ms. Hinchcliff both were honored as Chambers Up and Coming for their work in plaintiffs litigation. A firm client told Chambers that Mr. Murray “is one of a kind and demonstrates a ridiculous level of lawyering and professionalism.”

Another said Ms. Hinchcliff is “first-rate and exceptionally intelligent” and “knocks it out of the park.”

Chambers USA is published annually by London-based Chambers and Partners. It determines firm and attorney rankings through in-depth market analysis and independent research.
