The Denver legal market is set to take on more of a Pennsylvania flair in the coming weeks as two area firms make notable expansions into the Mile High City.

Fox Rothschild said it will significantly expand its nine-month-old Denver office through a merger with 16-lawyer Lottner Rubin Fishman Saul, set to go into effect July 1. And Ballard Spahr has announced that it has hired five commercial litigators, including two partners, for its office in Colorado's capital.
