Andrew Shoemaker

Andrew represents white collar clients in regulatory investigations and prosecutions, conducts internal investigations, serves as a neutral mediator in complex civil disputes, and teaches at the University of Colorado Law School.  He is a former special assistant U.S. attorney for the District of Colorado, enforcement attorney for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, partner at an international law firm, law clerk to a federal judge, and mayor pro tem and city council member for the City of Boulder. Andrew has been recognized as a Colorado Super Lawyer since 2006 and in Chambers USA: America’s Leading Lawyers for Business since 2008. When not at the office or spending time with his family, Andrew might be found somewhere in the backcountry following his bird dogs, floating a river, fly fishing, skiing, biking, or otherwise exploring. Until he hears banjos. Then he might grab a guitar or mandolin and join right in.

My advice to students...

People are judged by their questions more than their answers.  Listening to understand is one of the most important skills a person can exercise in interacting with others.
