Larry Pozner

Partner

 

With more than 35 years experience in courtrooms and before juries, Larry Pozner is a founding partner of the firm. Larry focuses his practice on complex civil and criminal litigation—as well as the lecture circuit. He is litigation counsel for the Denver Broncos Football Club.

In the area of complex commercial litigation, Larry represents both plaintiffs and defendants in cases involving fraud (including healthcare fraud), professional malpractice, breach of contract, environmental matters, theft of trade secrets, and copyright and trademark infringement.

In the criminal arena, Larry began his career as a public defender—and continues his high profile criminal defense work as a private practitioner. In 1998, he was elected president of the 10,000 member National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.

Larry supplements his civil and criminal practice with publishing, television and radio legal commentary, and lecturing on trial practice. He is well-known among fellow trial attorneys as the co-author of Cross-Examination: Science and Techniques—America’s best-selling publication on the subject of cross-examination. He has presented his full-day CLE program on this subject to state bar associations, plaintiff and defense organizations and governmental agencies more than 250 times.

When a trial attracts national attention, the national news media often seek Larry’s perspective. He was a NBC News legal analyst for the Jon Benet Ramsey case and the Oklahoma City bombing trials. He has provided legal analysis for such shows as the NBC Nightly News, The Today Show, Keith Olbermann, Fox News, CNN, NPR and Court TV.

In recognition of his skills and accomplishments at trial, Larry is regularly listed in Colorado Super Lawyers magazine (Top 50) and The Best Lawyers in America for twenty consecutive years. For many years, he served on the adjunct faculty of the University of Denver Sturm College of Law where he was voted "best professor."

Larry's colleagues in the legal profession value his courtroom skills and experience-and flock to attend his presentations. He has traveled to 48 states (as well as Canada and Puerto Rico) to deliver more than 400 lectures on subjects relating to trial skills, and has served on the faculty of several trial practice institutes. For the last seven years, he and partner Dan Reilly have been invited to address judges attending the annual Colorado Judicial Conference. Their annual presentation deals with some unusual aspect of trial evidence ranging from courtroom demonstrative aids to electronic evidence.

Larry was lead trial counsel in these cases:

  • In 1984, Edgar Kaiser sold his share of the Denver Broncos Football Club to our client Pat Bowlen -retaining a "right of first refusal" on any future sale of a portion of the team. Fifteen years later, after Bowlen had offered a stake in the club to former Broncos quarterback, John Elway, Kaiser sued Bowlen for breach of contract in both federal and state courts. The federal case progressed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, where our client won. As a result, the state district court granted summary judgment in favor of our client. When Kaiser appealed that decision, the Colorado Court of Appeals affirmed the district court's ruling-and our client maintained control of the team.
  • When The Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company (VALIC) noticed that its financial advisers (and their contact being aggressively recruited by the competition in what looked like coordinated campaigns, VALIC retained Reilly Pozner as national counsel to protect its trade secrets and enforce its non-competition agreements in courts around the country. Thanks to the firm’s skillful use of temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions, VALIC has seen a significant decrease in unfair competition by its former employees and a significant decrease in competitor recruitment.
  • Reilly Pozner has been approved by the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy court to act as Lehman’s national coordinating and lead trial counsel in prosecuting claims against mortgage loan originators that sold Lehman defective loans. Larry is part of the ten-lawyer team in this significant representation – involving more than 100 cases in 26 states.
  • When individuals and businesses in seven states suffered losses and inconvenience as a result of delayed telephone phone line installation by U.S. West (now Qwest), they turned to Reilly Pozner for representation in a series of seven state consumer class actions. The firm’s “held order” litigation over four years resulted in seven successful settlements to the tune of $120 million.

     

    “Each case is really a detective story. From the first day we get a case, we start to work on this story—and how the various pieces fit together—so we can tell our client’s story to a jury and a judge. At our trials, no one ever gets bored and loses interest! Preparation is the be-all and end-all. This behind-the-scenes work (when no one is watching) is what lets you be good in the courtroom (when everyone is watching). This realization is a wonderful, magical moment in the life of any courtroom attorney!”
