Future Litigators Scholarship

In 2020, our founder Ben Volpe created Volpe Law LLC in Denver, Colorado. Since that time, we have worked with business owners, investors, and entrepreneurs looking to protect their future through careful legal strategy. Our work speaks for itself with over 65 five star reviews on Google and a 10.0 rating on Justia. We are proud to provide counsel for 7 and 8 figure companies in commercial litigation, real estate, and general counsel for business matters. Our firm was founded on the premise that we wanted to value people (our clients) above all else, and we hope to share that with future litigators as well.

That is why we are now offering The Volpe Law LLC Future Litigators Scholarship. With this $1,000 scholarship, we want to support a student working to value clients first in litigation situations. Our ideal candidate will demonstrate their experience in business, working within the community, and their academic excellence. We want someone who follows our same mission of doing the right thing, even if it isn’t always the easiest thing to do. Applicants should write a thoughtful essay to address these topics using the questions provided below. The winner will receive $1,000 to support their educational expenses such as course materials and more.
