Parsons Behle & Latimer (Parsons) shareholder Zack L. Winzeler has been named co-chair of the firm’s litigation practice. He will head the firm’s litigation team, one of the largest and most experienced in the Intermountain West, alongside current co-chair Thomas R. Barton.
Winzeler, who works in the firm’s Salt Lake City office, is an experienced litigator. His practice focuses on complex commercial, employment and real estate litigation, including representation of clients in matters involving contracts, real property, noncompete and nonsolicitation covenants, lender liability claims, misappropriation of trade secrets and business disputes.
As Parsons’ litigation department continues to grow, handling matters large and small across a variety of disciplines and industries, Winzeler looks forward serving in this new role and collaborating with other practice teams in the firm to serve client needs.
Winzeler attributes his growth within the firm and his litigation practice to having been mentored by experienced trial lawyers at Parsons, who have helped maintain the firm’s reputation as a leading litigation firm in the Intermountain West. He looks forward to guiding and training younger litigation associates at the firm in this new position.
“I’m honored to have been asked by the firm to serve as the co-chair of the litigation department. I started working in the department upon graduation from law school. Over the past 18 years, I have benefitted from excellent mentors and leadership, and I am excited for the opportunity to be in a position to give back,” says Winzeler.
Parsons’ Chairperson and CEO Shawn C. Ferrin says, “Zack is an exceptional lawyer, leader and mentor, and looks forward to partnering with Tom Barton to lead the department. We thank Zack for his commitment to help lead the litigation department and the firm into the future.”
