Partner John A. Willding II is featured in a special edition of Attorney at Law Magazine discussing the parallels between serving in the Army and finding success in the legal profession. John served in the Army for 12 years, including reserve duty. He enlisted when he was 17, following the traditions of his father, a B-24 bomber pilot, and his five uncles who each served in WWII. John says the Army has had a positive impact on his life, including his legal career. He says the skills learned have helped him immensely as an attorney. "Clients often call me with urgent, complex needs, and the skills that I learned in the Army help me to get the job done, to add value, and to reduce their stress," he notes. He also highlights lessons learned from the Army that he applies to his current practice, including keeping his word, assembling a highly-qualified team to get the job done, and understanding the mission in order to execute on the task at hand, which is not too different from what he did in the Army.

Ryan Sugden authored an article for the Colorado Real Estate Journal exploring a recent Colorado court's decision in Ralph L. Wadsworth Construction Company, LLC v Regional Rail Partners that limits mechanic's lien claims to direct project costs, excluding delays and disruptions. ? Ryan says the decision provides clarity for what constitutes an excessive lien as well as serves as a warning to potential public or private lien filers to tread carefully when it comes to claiming unliquidated delay, disruption or impact damages in a lien. He notes that under Wadsworth, the safest course is to exclude delay, disruption and impact damages from a public or private lien – assuming the owner has not expressly agreed to pay them – and to include only those amounts that are expressly lienable. ?
