Welcome to the professional life of Jim Bain Colorado—a distinguished name in the world of complex commercial, construction, and real estate litigation. A proud alumnus of the University of Connecticut and the University of Florida Law School, Jim dispensed his knowledge early on by teaching trial practice, appellate advocacy, and related courses at both universities. He significantly contributed as a trial attorney to the Tennessee Valley Authority's legal department, where he fearlessly led TVA’s damage analysis team in the rigorous Uranium Antitrust Litigation, resulting in a phenomenal $250 million recovery for his client.

In 1985, he embarked on an enriching private practice journey, starting with Roath & Brega, where he was swiftly promoted to partner. He also contributed as a partner at Brega and Winters, and later co-founded Benjamin Bain & Howard, which subsequently expanded to Benjamin Bain, Howard & Cohen. This venture would go on to be recognized by Newsweek and emerge as a leading boutique commercial real estate law firm in Denver.

Jim Bain’s extensive body of work has won him enviable recognition, including the Colorado Bar Association's Civil Litigation Writing Award. He has been esteemed among the Outstanding Lawyers of America and listed in Marquis Who’s Who in American Law, Who’s Who in America, and Who’s Who in the World, reinforcing his place among the highly respected figures in the legal profession.

A professional who wears many hats - he has been the tireless Editor of the Construction Forum of The Colorado Lawyer for over two decades, chaired the Legal Advisory Committee for the Associated General Contractors of Colorado, and has been a committed member of the National Panel of Arbitrators for the American Arbitration Association.

Out of the courtroom and outside his office, Jim is an acclaimed author and speaker, sharing insights on construction and commercial law at various bar associations and advanced legal education programs.
