Davis & Cannon is a general practice law firm with offices in Sheridan, Cheyenne, and Gillette, Wyoming. When we say, "We know Wyoming," we speak through years of collective experience that our lawyers have in this state. Our lawyers have made a long-term commitment to live and work here. All of us are here because we have chosen to involve ourselves in how Wyoming works and grows and because we believe it is one of the best places to raise our families and practice law. We stress an efficient and practical problem-solving approach to the issues clients bring to us.  

Although small by national standards with ten lawyers, Davis & Cannon is recognized in the region as having a statewide presence in litigation, administrative law, policymaking and business. The firm's long commitment to maintaining two full-service offices 325 miles apart illustrates how important we believe it is to be able to provide our clients with effective advice and service anywhere in the state. Our Cheyenne office gives our clients excellent access to state government agencies and political issues that affect our clients. Our Sheridan office, the original firm office, is located in north-central Wyoming, where there are perennial mineral development, ranching, water and business issues. Our lawyers enjoy representing in-state clients and regularly practice in all state and federal courts throughout the state and before most state and federal agencies. 

Davis & Cannon was established in 1948 when Henry Burgess, the son of a local rancher, completed law school after returning from World War II as a decorated veteran. The original practice grew around representing landowners and business people in a broad range of legal problems. Over the years, the Firm built a reputation in handling diverse transactions in major litigation and dealing with state and federal administrative law issues. The addition of the Cheyenne office in 1992 cemented the trend of statewide work that had evolved in the firm during the 1970s and 1980s. Since then, we have effectively handled a diverse range of issues, including:

·        national class action,

·        natural resource,

·        and water law issues.

Furthermore, we have successfully handled:

·        product liability defense,

·        complex commercial litigation,

·        employment law,

·        administrative law,

·        estate planning and probate,

·        and transactional matters.

We are regularly selected as statewide trial counsel for a variety of major corporations to work on litigation and transactional issues. We also represent numerous local governments on taxation, land use and eminent domain issues.
