Childs McCune partner, Jordan Lipp, has been selected as 2023 Lawyer of the Year by Colorado Civil Justice League (CCJL). He received this award at CCJL’s Legislative Awards Luncheon on Oct. 10.
A longtime member of CCJL’s Legal Advisory Board, Jordan has broad experience representing manufacturers, including car, truck, farm and construction machinery, and oil and gas companies. However, Jordan’s expertise in outdoor recreation has been particularly valuable to CCJL and its members. Jordan was instrumental in drafting recent amendments to provide liability protection for agri-tourism. He likewise has practiced extensively in the Ski Safety Act and Equine Activities Act.
When a bill to address landowner liability was introduced in the legislature earlier this year, Jordan was the first to evaluate the bill and suggest improvements. He worked closely with proponents, and he provided informed and persuasive testimony during the bill’s only hearing. He has continued to work on behalf of CCJL with the Colorado Recreational Use Coalition during the interim.
