National law firm Wilson Elser announced the addition of Elizabeth Olson as a partner in its Denver office, strengthening the firm’s Design Professionals and Construction practices.
Olson joins Wilson Elser from a regional litigation firm focused on tort and commercial litigation, bringing more than a decade of experience successfully defending complex construction, design professional and commercial matters across various jurisdictions.
“For 15 years, Wilson Elser’s Denver office has offered full-service legal support for clients in the Rocky Mountain region,” said Wilson Elser Chair Daniel J. McMahon. “Elizabeth’s arrival deepens our bench in critical practice areas and reflects our continued investment in attracting top-tier talent to serve our clients.”
Olson’s practice encompasses a broad range of civil defense matters, including construction and design professional liability, premises liability, general casualty, contract disputes, commercial litigation, product liability and transportation. She has represented clients in state and federal courts in Colorado and Arizona.
“Elizabeth’s hiring enhances our existing practices in Denver,” said Jason Melichar, regional managing partner of Wilson Elser’s Denver office. “She will work closely with Ryan Williams, our Denver-based cochair of the firm’s Design Professionals Practice, in defending architects and engineers in construction defect matters.”
Olson earned her J.D. from Arizona State University’s Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law and her B.A. in economics and ancient Mediterranean civilizations from Rice University.
