Hutchinson Black and Cook is pleased to announce that Kimberly Hult was named the Best Lawyers® 2022 Medical Malpractice Law Plaintiff's "Lawyer of the Year" in Boulder. Only one lawyer in each practice area and community is honored with a "Lawyer of the Year" award.
Kim, a longtime Member of HBC, is a civil litigator who manages a variety of complex legal issues for clients, including difficult medical malpractice claims. In 2003, Kim, along with Baine Kerr, won what is believed to be the largest breast cancer verdict in Colorado following a lengthy jury trial. 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 has been selected for inclusion in Best Lawyers of America for her medical malpractice work every year for more than a decade.
Since moving to Boulder in 1999, Kim has also successfully represented injured individuals with other kinds of personal injury and sexual assault claims. She has served as lead counsel in numerous high-profile Title IX cases, both in Colorado and nationally, against prominent colleges and universities and large school districts.
In addition to her work focused on injured individuals, Kim has extensive experience representing large and small institutions, businesses, neighbors, and communities in real property disputes and other civil litigation matters, such as contract, intellectual property, and trade secret disputes. Notwithstanding the diversity of her practice, Kim has frequently been invited to speak on her varied cases that have gained widespread attention over the last two decades.
