June 24, 2025

Clark Hill announced today that Benjamin Branson has joined its Litigation group as a Member in the firm’s Scottsdale office.

Branson possesses a multi-jurisdictional commercial litigation practice with a focus on resolution.

“I needed a national platform to continue to expand my practice, and it’s been a great comfort to already be in touch with attorneys from Los Angeles and Chicago for ongoing matters,” Branson said. “The collaborative nature of the firm really stood out to me and I’m excited to contribute to that environment.”

Branson supports clients through every phase of litigation, from inception, pre-litigation, negotiations, and settlement, to monetizing judgments through litigation, and, if necessary, appeal. He has recently started doing transactional work and also maintains a creditor’s rights practice.

“We’re delighted that Benjamin came to us and expressed an interest in growing his practice with our group in Arizona,” said Robyn Henry, Clark Hill’s litigation business unit director. “His work in the solar industry and full-service litigation practice will be a great asset to our team.”

Outside of his daily practice, Branson is a judge pro tempore in Maricopa County, has been a board member of the Arizona Association for Defense Counsel, and sits on the board of the Fountain Hills Community Theater.

Long Saga of Colorado AI Act Appears to Have Come to Close With Revised Law

Ever since its initial passage into law in 2024, the Colorado AI Act has been a lightning rod for controversy and calls for change. Over the ensuing two years, multiple attempts to amend the law were floated and proposed by consumer and industry groups. The implementation of the law itself was delayed several times to allow for such changes, with Governor Jared Polis calling a special session of the legislature last August to specifically address potential changes. All of those attempts appear to have culminated in Senate Bill 189 having passed both the Colorado House (57-6) and Senate (34-1) this week. The bill next heads to the desk of Governor Jared Polis where it is expected to be signed into law and to take effect as of January of 2027.
