Groves, who serves as Ireland Stapleton’s managing director, represents companies and individuals in a broad range of complex business litigation matters and litigation-avoidance strategies before state, federal and administrative courts.

New to the list of Colorado Super Lawyers is environmental attorney Rebecca L. Almon. She joins Groves, business and real estate attorney Russell W. Kemp and bankruptcy attorney Kimberley H. Tyson. Benjamin J. Larson, a litigation attorney, joins litigation attorneys Kelley B. Duke and Mark E. Lacis on the Rising Stars list.

Each year, no more than five percent of the lawyers in the state are selected to the Colorado Super Lawyers list. Rising Stars are lawyers who are 40 years old or under, or who have been practicing for 10 years or less. No more than 2.5 percent of the lawyers in the state are named to the Rising Stars list. Annual selections are made through a multi-phase process that includes a statewide survey of lawyers, independent research evaluations and peer reviews.
