Experience

A civil litigator who has worked tirelessly toward her client’s objectives for nearly 30 years, Kimberly Hult understands how to navigate and resolve complex legal matters for her diverse clients. Her clients range from individual sexual assault survivors, personal injury and medical malpractice plaintiffs; to large and small institutions and businesses (Fortune 500 corporations, school districts and entrepreneurs); to neighbors and communities embroiled in real property disputes.

Kim frequently appears before state and federal courts, and a significant portion of her practice focuses on representing sexual assault survivors and injured individuals.  Since 2002, she has been actively engaged in developing HBC’s nationally-recognized Title IX practice, and she has acted as lead counsel in several high-profile Title IX cases and other kinds of civil cases involving sexual assaults that occurred at schools, at work, at home and in the community.  Her work on behalf of survivors has been featured in media and scholarly articles.

Kim has also successfully represented injured individuals with medical malpractice and other personal injury claims.  She was named Best Lawyers of America’s Medical Malpractice “Lawyer of the Year” in Boulder in 2022, and has been selected for inclusion in the Best Lawyer listing for her medical malpractice work for the last 12 years.  In 2003, Kim, along with Baine Kerr, won what is believed to be the largest breast cancer verdict in Colorado, and she has been selected for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America® for her medical malpractice work for more than nine years.  In 2014, she argued and won an appeal before the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals in a matter addressing when claims against the federal government should arise when there is no clear medical diagnosis. 

Kim is particularly well known throughout Colorado for her work in real property litigation  involving boundary disputes, adverse possession, and prescriptive easement claims.  One of her adverse possession cases directly led to changes in Colorado’s adverse possession statute, and she speaks on that and other, similar cases.

For over 29 years, Kim has also maintained an active commercial litigation practice that includes civil business and IP litigation matters for individuals, corporations and school districts.  She has successfully represented her clients in dozens of IP disputes before the federal courts and U.S. Trial and Trademark Appeals Board (“TTAB”), in contractual disputes, and during business divorces.

Kim’s varied, extensive litigation experience has resulted in strong legal judgment and keen instincts that enable her to appreciate her clients’ needs, to chart a strong litigation course, and to reach practical and often creative resolutions.  She brings this added value to every matter for her clients.

Prior to moving to Boulder with her family in 1999 and joining HBC, Kim worked at two other prestigious law firms, then known as Wilmer, Cutler and Pickering in Washington, D.C., and Hangley Aronchick Segal & Pudlin, P.C. in Philadelphia.  She attended Cornell Law School, where she graduated magna cum laude, was elected to the Order of the Coif and served as articles editor of the Cornell Law Review.  Following law school, she also held a federal clerkship in Boston with Joseph L. Tauro, Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts.
