Abigail Hinchcliff previously served as the First Assistant Attorney General of the Consumer Fraud Unit at the Colorado Attorney General’s Office.

As First Assistant, Abby supervised and strategically directed the Office’s enforcement of Colorado’s Consumer Protection Act. The matters she oversaw resulted in the recovery of over $180 million for Colorado and consumers from companies that included industry leaders in telecom, vaping, social media, and retail.  Many of these matters involved novel or evolving issues in consumer protection law, including investigations and enforcement actions related to junk fees, dark patterns, and unfair trade practices. Abby also briefed and argued a case in the Colorado Supreme Court, securing a reversal of the Court of Appeals and prevailing on all issues in a major consumer protection suit against a for-profit college.

While at the Attorney General’s Office, Abby also played key roles on teams supporting high profile civil rights litigation, including in the U.S. Supreme Court and in federal district courts. She received the Attorney General’s Award each year she was at the Office, including for Case of the Year and Frontline Leader of the Year.

Prior to her time at the Colorado Attorney General’s Office, Abby was a partner and trial lawyer at Bartlit Beck LLP where she had a national practice representing clients in large and complex matters including product liability, mass torts, intellectual property, and contract disputes. Abby also served on the boards of the Colorado Lawyers Committee, the Colorado Judicial Institute’s Young Professionals Committee, and the Denver Public Library Friends Foundation’s Corporate Committee.
