Andrew J. Contiguglia’s Attorney Profile

If you’re building a business, you’re going to face moments that test your judgment, your reputation, and your ability to protect what you’ve worked so hard to create. Andrew Contiguglia helps business owners navigate those moments with clarity and confidence.

What makes Andrew different is his ability to combine legal precision, business strategy, and media-savvy crisis response, all in one trusted advisor.

Whether you’re negotiating a high-stakes deal, managing a lawsuit, or trying to avoid legal landmines before they explode, Andrew provides practical counsel built for real business decisions. His approach is focused on outcomes, not abstractions. He helps clients move through legal challenges while protecting their brand, reputation, and bottom line.

Andrew provides legal counsel for small and medium businesses in Colorado, growth-stage companies, and online brands, as well as individuals facing criminal allegations that could impact their professional lives or reputations. His clients often arrive asking:

• “What am I missing in this contract that could cost me later?”
• “How do I protect my brand if this turns into a public issue?”
• “What happens if I get this wrong, and how can I prevent it from happening again?”

Andrew has been answering those questions for nearly three decades, drawing on deep experience as both a trial attorney and a business owner.

After nearly 20 years leading the Contiguglia Law Firm, Andrew has returned to Miller & Steiert as Of Counsel. This marks more than a return, it’s a continuation of his mission to help businesses protect what matters and grow without fear. Alongside his legal work, he founded Ethia Strategies, www.ethiastrategies.com , a legal PR and crisis management firm that equips clients to respond to public challenges with precision and integrity. His experience leading companies makes him acutely aware of the risks owners face, and how to stay ahead of them.

Andrew has helped clients:

• Resolve seven-figure legal disputes without going to trial
• Protect intellectual property and brand identity from misuse
• Navigate reputational threats with calm, coordinated response strategies
• Defend against criminal allegations in high-profile or sensitive matters where the stakes extend beyond the courtroom
• Structure deals and partnerships that support long-term growth
