Overview

|

Al Sahlstrom is Senior Counsel in Buchalter’s Denver office and a member of the Litigation Practice Group.

Al helps businesses, business owners, families, and fiduciaries navigate complex disputes involving control, ownership, fiduciary obligations, contractual rights, and other high-stakes conflicts.

His practice is built on a simple principle: legal strategy should serve the client’s objectives, not the other way around. Whether through negotiation, litigation, or trial, Al helps clients assess risk, develop leverage, and make strategic decisions that advance their objectives.

When clients face conflict and uncertainty, Al helps them evaluate opportunities, preserve flexibility, and build the strongest possible position.

An experienced trial lawyer, Al has first-chaired more than 35 jury trials and represented clients in hearings, bench trials, arbitrations, and other contested proceedings. His trial experience informs every stage of a dispute, from early strategy through resolution or trial.
