Iris Lozano brings a unique perspective to her clients because she was once one of them.

Having spent more than 15 years leading human resources business divisions and organizations in the manufacturing, financial, high technology, and construction industries, Iris knows how it feels to be on the business side of a dispute. She also understands the tough decisions employers face. In addition to her experience on the HR side of employment matters, she was once a small business owner, having owned and operated an Engineering and STEM Learning Center for children.

It’s because of her experiences Iris has a passion for assisting clients in single-plaintiff actions in federal and state courts. She has assisted in resolving cases arising from employment disputes, discrimination, retaliation claims, traditional labor relations, and alleged employment law violations. In addition, she assists clients in resolving charges brought before state and federal agencies, including charges of discrimination brought before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the Colorado Civil Rights Division (CCRD).

Her ability to relate to her clients and personable approach enables her to build true partnerships with them. Clients see she has a genuine interest in solving their legal needs, and her dedication to knowing every nuance of their matter builds confidence and trust.

Certificate in Corporate and Commercial Law, as well as Workplace Law and an MBA from Tulane University.
