Werge Law Group is pleased to announce the hiring of Austin Baxter as their newest Associate Attorney. Austin brings a wealth of legal knowledge and experience along with him. Austin Baxter has a unique insight and understanding of the legal process and will be a great asset to the team at Werge Law Group. We look forward to the fresh perspectives that Austin will bring to the firm as he continues to serve our clients.
Austin first started work with Werge Law Group as a law clerk for the summer and fall of 2022. After graduating from CU Law School in only 2.5 years—a semester early—he will be working to support both our litigation and transactional practices. Austin began his legal journey at an early age when he began in Mock Trial and Moot Court competitions at 14 years old. At that time, Austin argued in the California Supreme Courthouse, where he later judged oral arguments as the elected Youth Chief Justice of the California Supreme Court by a group of over 4,500 high school students across California. Since then, he has been involved in a variety of legal experiences, such as Criminal Defense for the CU Law clinic, municipal law in both private firms and public entities, as well as various pro bono projects. Austin sat for the Bar in February 2023, and is pending admission to the Colorado Bar. Prior to attending law school, he earned a bachelor's degree from Carleton College, majoring in Philosophy with a minor in Cognitive Science.
Outside of law, Austin enjoys hiking with his pup Gigi and playing ultimate frisbee with local club teams. He is also a volunteer ultimate frisbee coach at Boulder High School and was a former volunteer mock trial coach with the University of Colorado – Boulder's undergraduate team. With his passion for the law and community service, Austin will bring immense value to the firm and Colorado’s legal community.
Austin will be taking on a variety of roles as Associate Attorney. He will be working with the firm’s other attorneys and team members to provide clients with the highest quality legal services in the areas of small business, civil litigation, nonprofits, and music law. He will also be providing guidance and advice to clients on all aspects of the legal process, including drafting documents, researching cases, and representing clients in court. Although he is a new graduate, Austin's passion and knowledge of the law will be an invaluable asset to our firm and our clients. We are confident that Austin will be able to use his skills and experience to help our clients get the best possible outcomes for their legal matters. With his addition to our firm, we are better positioned to serve small businesses, music and entertainment industry clients, creatives, and nonprofits most effectively and efficiently. We are thrilled to have Austin on board and can't wait for our clients to work with him.
