Areas of Focus

Recognition

Helping Vail Resorts Fulfill its Mission Through $125 Million Acquisition

Our clients rely on us to not only understand their long-term goals, but to also create legal strategies to achieve those goals. For longstanding client, Vail Resorts, Inc., this means Brownstein’s team helps execute on their commitment to bring the “experience of a lifetime” to individuals near urban centers across the country. When Vail Resorts sought to acquire three Pittsburgh-area resorts—Seven Springs Mountain Resort, Hidden Valley Resort and Laurel Mountain Ski Area—our team made this dream a reality. We handled all aspects of the $125 million acquisition, including real estate and hospitality matters. The result? Vail Resorts continues to deliver on its commitment to provide an “experience of a lifetime.”

Representing Workforce Insight in its Sale to Accenture

Long-standing partnerships with clients allow us to achieve transformational strategic and successful outcomes. Our relationship with Workforce Insight, a Denver-based workforce management company, is a prime example of this dynamic. The Brownstein team recently represented Workforce Insight in its sale to Accenture, a global professional services company. This transaction is the culmination of a near-decade long partnership with Workforce Insight and its founders, beginning in 2014. Guided by our nuanced insight into the company’s objectives and the motivations of the executives, our dedicated deal team advised Workforce Insight in connection with its original exit to Baird Capital Partners, its subsequent buyback therefrom, as well as three additional bolt-on acquisitions to help position the company for its eventual and most recent sale.

Securing the Future of a Social Enterprise

Jewish Family Service (JFS) sought to establish a social enterprise that would directly and positively influence the community. JFS drew on its long-term relationship with Brownstein to provide pro bono legal counsel on all aspects of its acquisition of Altius Farms, a grower of high-quality, local, chemical- and pesticide-free leafy greens. JFS Altius Farms is home to a rooftop greenhouse located in Denver’s historic Five Points neighborhood, which yields over 31,000 pounds of fresh produce each year. The fresh produce will be sold to local restaurants and grocers, as well as to stock the JFS food pantry to serve those with food insecurity. We’re at our best when we’re helping clients achieve their goals, working with an organization we believe in and giving back to the community.
