Samantha Peaslee

I am a partner at Polaris Law Firm, based in Longmont, CO, but working all along the Front Range, including in Brighton, Fort Morgan, Sterling, Loveland, Boulder, and Broomfield. I have a J.D. from University of Denver Sturm College of Law, an M.A. from Josef Korbel School of International Studies, and a B.A. from Middlebury College. I am also a member of the Order of St. Ives (top 10%) at the Sturm College of Law. I placed first in the 5th Annual Shanghai International Commercial Arbitration Pre-Moot in 2015 and was a quarterfinalist in the 12th Annual William C. Vis (East) International Commercial Moot. At Sturm College of Law, I was also Senior Managing Editor of Denver Journal for International Law and Policy and published my article "Is There a Place For Us?: Protecting Fan Fiction in the United States and Japan" in its Winter 2015 issue. In addition to my work and research in international business and intellectual property, I also researched extensively on state, national, and international energy laws with Professor K.K. DuVivier at Sturm College of Law and piracy issues with the Ved Nanda Center for International and Comparative Law.

Originally from Alexandria, LA, I have also lived in Vermont, Maine, North Carolina, France, and South Korea. I speak fluent French and can read Italian and some Korean. I specialize in international business, intellectual property law, arbitration, and litigation. I post regularly to Treasure Fleet, a blog about Global Commerce. I am a member of the Colorado Women's Chamber of Commerce and Colorado Attorneys for the Arts.
