Since it was founded nearly a quarter century ago,
Durham Jones & Pinegar has become one of the largest law
firms in Utah. The firm operates from offices in Salt Lake
City, Provo, Ogden, St. George and Las Vegas, and its attorneys
advise clients around the world in a spectrum of legal
fields including complex business and finance, securities
law, mergers and acquisitions, banking, commercial litigation,
intellectual property, bankruptcy, real estate, tax, estate
planning, elder law, employment, family law and more.
The firm and its lawyers have received significant
accolades in its relatively short existence including: frequent
recognition in U.S. News & World Report’s Best Lawyers
Ranking (which in 2013 named the firm’s Managing
Partner Kevin Pinegar as Utah Lawyer of the Year in
Corporate Compliance); and consistently high rankings in
Chambers USA America’s Leading Lawyers for Business; the
Mountain States Super Lawyers ® , and Utah Business
Magazine’s “Legal Elite.”
Most D|J|P shareholders have earned the coveted
Martindale-Hubbell “AV” peer review rating (the highest
rating awarded to attorneys for professional competence and
ethics), and in 2013, The American College of Bankruptcy
inducted D|J|P Shareholder
Kenneth L. Cannon II as a fellow
in recognition of his professional
contributions in the fields of
bankruptcy and insolvency.
Steven J. McCardell, a member
of D|J|P’s board of directors is
also a fellow of the College.
D|J|P is actively involved in
attracting new business to
Utah and helping existing Utah
companies succeed. The firm
supports: chambers of commerce
throughout the state; the Economic Development
Corporation of Utah; the National Association of Women
Business Owners; and MountainWest Capital Network,
to name a few. Shareholder Jeff Jones serves as general
counsel for the Utah Technology Council, a resource for
emerging Utah high-tech companies. The firm deepened its
commitment to the state’s thriving high-tech sector with
the launch of an intellectual property group in 2010, which
includes patent prosecution, trademark and copyright,
as well as intellectual property litigation expertise.
Though D|J|P is firmly invested in the communities in
which its attorneys practice, the firm’s influence is realized
well beyond the Intermountain West. The firm employs
talented attorneys who are admitted to practice in Arizona,
California, Connecticut, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Maine,
Minnesota, Nevada, New York, Washington, Wisconsin,
Texas, Utah and Washington, D.C. The firm is also the
sole representative for legal services in Utah and Nevada for
the prestigious World Services Group, the second largest
professional services network in the world.
D|J|P was founded by Paul Durham, a member of the
firm’s board of directors and the firm’s General Counsel.
