The Firm represented CoBon Energy, LLC in a lengthy briefing and appellate argument earlier this year. On May 28, 2024, the Utah Court of Appeals unanimously affirmed the Utah Fourth District Court’s bench ruling and dismissal of claims in CoBon’s favor. The ruling dismissed an over $50 million claim against CoBon and its principals with no findings of fault whatsoever. This ruling concluded a 22 year long legal battle, which featured four appeals and a 17 day bench trial, complex commercial issues and aggressive old-school litigation tactics. Of the outcome, CoBon’s principal and primary witness, who’s positive credibility was noted by the trial judge, observed: “The Dentons trial team exceeded our expectations in strategy, preparation and execution.” He continued, “We have confidently and patiently waited for over twenty years for this expected outcome, but can finally close the book on what was an unsupported money grab by CoBon’s opponents.”

Dentons litigation team was led by shareholders Wm. Kelly Nash (Lehi) and Douglas Thayer (Lehi) and included paralegal Kim Altamirano.
