Fellows uphold the highest standards of excellence, and through local, regional, and national meetings, foster collegiality among trial lawyers.
Craig Stewart successfully represents clients from a broad array of industries in complex litigation, providing sound counsel when their reputations are on the line. Clients rely on him for help in business, class action, resources/environmental, and lawyer professional liability litigation. Craig has extensive trial experience in state and federal courts and administrative tribunals, including trials in cases involving disputes over corporate governance and control, complex contract interpretation, validity of mining claims, mining joint ventures, and natural resource damages under CERCLA. A member of Holland & Hart's five-partner Management Committee overseeing the firm's management and strategic direction, Craig also serves as counsel to the firm and previously led the firm's 100-lawyer Business Litigation Practice Group from 2010 to 2017.
