Ducker, Montgomery, Aronstein & Bess, P.C. was organized in 1979 by lawyers who had been members of larger law firms. The firm's premise is that business clients need representation by lawyers of established background and reputation for success who strive to complete their engagements responsively and accountably. Emphasizing personal relationships between client and lawyer, we act as counsel for corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies and individuals engaged in a variety of business activities. Our representation includes corporate and commercial work; mergers and acquisitions; mining, oil and gas, and other natural resources; general commercial litigation; venture capital, securities and bank financings; real estate acquisitions, development, financing and divestitures; tax advice; employment law; environmental law; estate planning; and partnership and joint venture work. Our goal is to combine the quality of legal advice and services of a large firm with the responsiveness and cost-effectiveness of a smaller firm.
