Davis Graham & Stubbs

Davis Graham & Stubbs LLP (DGS) is a law firm with its main office in Denver, Colorado, and offices in Reno, Nevada and Washington, D.C. It is one of the four largest Denver-based law firms.

The firm that became DGS was founded in Denver in 1915 by attorneys Mason Lewis and James Grant to provide tax advice after the passing of the 16th Amendment. The firm of Lewis & Grant merged with another Denver firm in 1947, forming Lewis, Grant, Newton, Davis & Henry, which later became Lewis, Grant & Davis. It was one of the four leading firms in Denver by 1964, when the firm changed its name from Lewis, Grant & Davis to Davis Graham & Stubbs.

Partner J. Quigg Newton was elected Mayor of Denver in 1947. Other alumni elected to public office include US Senator Gary Hart, Governor John Arthur Love and Lieutenant Governor Joe Rogers. After playing football for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Byron White worked as a lawyer at the firm for about 15 years before becoming United States Deputy Attorney General in 1961 and then a justice of the Supreme Court of the United States in 1962.

In his memoir James Schroeder recounted that both he and his wife Pat Schroeder were interviewed for jobs at the firm by Jim Hoagland when the couple were approaching graduation from Harvard Law School. According to Schroeder, Hoagland felt that conflicts of interest could arise if both a husband and wife practiced law in the same city; the firm did not make an offer for either of the Schroeders.
