Two Olson Grimsley Lawyers Named Rising Stars of the Plaintiffs Bar by The National Law Journal

Award honors plaintiffs attorneys who demonstrate repeated success and litigation prowess

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--National boutique law firm Olson Grimsley is pleased to announce that partner Jason Murray and associate Isabel Broer have been named to The National Law Journal’s 2025 Rising Stars of the Plaintiffs Bar.

The National Law Journal describes honorees as “a select group of young lawyers who are up-and-comers in the plaintiffs bar, already demonstrating their litigation prowess, service to the community, and/or impact on their firm.” Mr. Murray and Ms. Broer are two of only 18 honorees listed from across the United States.

“We are so pleased to see The National Law Journal recognize Jason and Isabel in this way,” said Olson Grimsley co-founder Kenzo Kawanabe. “Not only are they incredibly talented litigators, but their commitment to their responsibility as advocates for our clients is apparent in everything they do.”

An Olson Grimsley founder, Mr. Murray is a nationally recognized trial and appellate lawyer. He played a key role in the 2024 Colorado ballot access case against Donald Trump, presenting arguments before the Colorado Supreme Court, which declared Trump ineligible to appear on the ballot under the 14th Amendment. He then argued the case before the U.S. Supreme Court.

Mr. Murray also co-led a landmark trial against Zantac manufacturers GSK and Boehringer Ingelheim, securing a confidential settlement with GSK and trying the case against Boehringer Ingelheim to a hung jury.

Before co-founding Olson Grimsley, Mr. Murray was a partner at Bartlit Beck LLP and clerked for Justice Elena Kagan of the U.S. Supreme Court. He also clerked for Justice Neil Gorsuch, who was then on the Tenth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Ms. Broer is a highly skilled litigator and Olson Grimsley’s only founding associate. In 2024, she helped secure a more than $20 million judgment against Johns Manville for unlawfully monopolizing the market for calcium silicate pipe insulation. She also worked with Mr. Murray as a key member of the trial team against Zantac manufacturers.

Before joining Olson Grimsley, Ms. Broer was a senior assistant attorney general in the Colorado Attorney General’s Office. She played key roles in 303 Creative v. Elenis at the U.S. Supreme Court and in a groundbreaking Colorado Supreme Court case. Her work earned her the Attorney General’s DEI Champion and Rookie of the Year awards. Ms. Broer also clerked for Judge Christine Arguello of the U.S. District Court of Colorado and for Justice Monica Márquez of the Colorado Supreme Court.
