This nomination highlights the Denver office’s continued commitment to providing a supportive, collaborative, and people-first workplace that enables our team members to thrive both professionally and personally.
This recognition follows an exciting combination with Allen Vellone Wolf Helfrich & Factor P.C. in 2025, which added 26 professionals to the Denver office and grew the team to a total of 70 members. This highlights Michael Best’s commitment to continued growth and investment in top talent in the region.
“We are incredibly proud of our Denver team,” said Shawn Stigler, Managing Partner of Michael Best’s Denver office. “Our culture is defined by people who show up for one another—with expertise, curiosity, and a genuine willingness to share what they know. This nomination is a testament to a firm where everyone is empowered to do their best work, feel supported, and stay connected to a shared purpose that extends well beyond their own team.”
The Best Places to Work program recognizes companies across the Denver metro area that excel in workplace culture, employee engagement, and organizational leadership. Finalists are identified through a rigorous evaluation process that includes confidential employee feedback, an assessment of overall satisfaction, workplace experience, and the resources available for their teams.
At Michael Best, we are dedicated to ensuring employees feel empowered and supported at every stage of their careers. The firm’s long-standing commitment to fostering an exceptional workplace is reflected in its comprehensive benefits, professional development programs, emphasis on well-being and work-life balance, and opportunities for team members to grow, lead, and contribute meaningfully to the clients and communities we serve.
