About Onsager | Johnson | Palmer

Founded in 2004, Onsager | Johnson | Palmer was built on the belief that businesses and their owners—regardless of size—deserve access to quality legal representation. From the beginning, the firm has focused on providing sophisticated counsel with a practical understanding of the business and financial realities facing our clients. Our work includes Chapter 11, Subchapter V, and Chapter 7 bankruptcy cases, bankruptcy litigation, creditor's rights, business litigation, complex transactions, and general business counsel throughout Denver and Colorado. We handle matters ranging from the needs of small businesses and their owners to complex, high-value transactions and disputes. Our attorneys have represented clients across a diverse range of industries, including construction, real estate, retail, hospitality, automotive, oil and gas, mining, broadcasting, communications, broadband, and technology. Our attorneys have represented virtually every major constituency in matters involving financial distress, including businesses, business owners, secured and unsecured creditors, committees, trustees, landlords, purchasers, lenders, and other stakeholders. Representing clients on different sides of complex matters gives us a perspective that is difficult to replicate. We understand not only our clients’ positions and objectives, but also the strategies, concerns, and competing interests of the other parties at the table. That perspective informs how we approach every matter. We identify issues early, anticipate competing interests, evaluate practical alternatives, and develop efficient strategies focused on achieving our clients’ objectives. Whether advising a business owner through financial distress, representing a business, business owner, or creditor in bankruptcy, litigating a complex dispute, or structuring a transaction, we bring the same commitment to thoughtful, practical, and effective representation.
