Strategic Legal Counsel for Every Stage of Business
By INK Law | Ivy · Newburn · Knight
Colorado Business Law Firm | Business Formation, M&A, IP, Litigation, Energy Law
Most law firms will tell you they do it all. What they won’t tell you is how they do it — or who’s actually in the room when it matters.
INK is different. Built by Patrick Ivy, Ryan Newburn, and Jedi Knight, INK brings together three attorneys who’ve each carved out a lane in a specific, high-stakes corner of the law — and then figured out how to pull in the same direction for their clients.
That’s the thing about a firm built on names, not nameplates. You know exactly who you’re getting.
What INK Does
INK’s practice spans the full arc of modern business law — from the first conversation about a corporate structure to the day you need someone in a courtroom who isn’t afraid to fight.
Intellectual Property & Litigation
Jedi Knight leads INK’s IP and litigation work with the kind of directness that opposing counsel doesn’t always enjoy. Patents, trademarks, trade secrets, and the full-contact sport of business litigation. If someone’s coming after what you built, Jedi’s the one you want.
Corporate, M&A & Business Formation
Ryan Newburn handles the deal side. Mergers, acquisitions, leveraged buyouts, corporate formation, startup growth, financial distress — Ryan brings a business perspective to every transaction, not just a legal one. Whether you’re structuring your first LLC or taking your company through a complex acquisition, this is his territory.
Energy, Contracts & Emerging Industries
Patrick Ivy is decades deep in energy law and contract work. Upstream and midstream oil and gas, construction defects, government contracts, field services litigation, regulatory environments — Patrick has seen the loopholes, knows where deals go sideways, and knows how to keep clients off the wrong side of a dispute before one ever starts.
Who INK Works With
INK was built for clients who need a legal team that can move with them — not a firm that hands them off to a junior associate and calls it done.
INK works with startups navigating their first formation, Series B companies managing a portfolio of contracts, energy operators dealing with upstream disputes, construction firms facing defect claims, and B2B companies that need someone in their corner when a deal goes wrong.
The firm is agile in a way that BigLaw simply isn’t. Lower overhead, direct attorney access, and partners who stay on the work from formation to litigation if that’s where the road leads.
The INK Approach
There’s a line INK lives by: Strategy. Clarity. Results.
That’s not a tagline. It’s a description of how every engagement works. Clients get clear answers, not hedged legal-speak. They get attorneys who know their industry, not generalists who have to Google the terminology. And they get representation that’s commercially strategic — because good legal advice doesn’t just protect you, it positions you.
INK isn’t interested in being the biggest firm in the room. They’re interested in being the most effective one.

Most law firms will tell you they do it all.
What they won’t tell you is who’s actually in the room when it matters.
INK was built differently. Three attorneys. Three distinct lanes. One team that pulls in the same direction.
Jedi Knight fights for what you built — IP, litigation, and the kind of courtroom presence opposing counsel doesn’t enjoy going up against.
Ryan Newburn works the deal side — M&A, leveraged buyouts, corporate formation, and the full arc from startup to acquisition.
Patrick Ivy knows energy and contracts cold — upstream, midstream, construction, government work, and every loophole in between.
Together, they cover the full spectrum of modern business law. From your first formation conversation to the day you need someone in a courtroom — INK stays on the work.
Agile. Direct. Commercially strategic.
No BigLaw overhead. No junior associates. Just partners who know your industry and aren’t afraid to fight for your outcome.
Strategy. Clarity. Results.
