Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck Founder and Chairman Norm Brownstein has been named to the Denver Business Journal’s 2025 Power Book, which recognizes influential leaders who are transforming their industries and redefining how business is conducted in Colorado. These leaders represent a diverse range of sectors, including real estate, technology, health care, sports, tourism and more.
Chairman Brownstein founded the firm in 1968 with Steve Farber and Jack Hyatt. He opened a government relations office in Washington, D.C., in 1995, which has grown into one of the largest, most successful bipartisan government relations practices in the U.S. He has impacted our nation’s public policy for over four decades, and the D.C. office’s success can be credited to his passion for political advocacy and relentless pursuit of solutions to clients’ problems. Chairman Brownstein has been instrumental in the passage of numerous federal laws spanning six administrations.
In his DBJ profile, Chairman Brownstein reflected on the firm’s journey and evolution.
“We have played on the world’s biggest stage and have made a difference,” he said. “We got here, I believe, because we have always thought beyond ourselves. Beginning in Denver, we became involved in community affairs, which led to our involvement in public affairs and ultimately in politics itself. The greater our involvement, the greater our network of relationships, the greater our opportunities for business. And when we got those opportunities, we made the best of them.”
