At Denver-based litigation boutique Reilly Pozner, the gargoyle has special significance. With the mantra “protect and prevail,” the firm features the medieval guardian in its logo. Reilly Pozner co-founder Daniel Reilly said the gargoyle isn’t a traditional emblem, but his firm is proudly unconventional.

“We don’t strive to be traditional,” Reilly said. “We strive to be the best.”
