Brian J. Bagley,

J.D., M.B.A.

The founder and chief counsel of the Bagley Law Firm, LLC, Brian provides legal representation to businesses, families, and individuals.  In addition to the practice of law, Brian currently serves as the Mayor of Longmont, CO.  Brian’s other community activities include teaching at the Leeds School of Business at the University of Colorado at Boulder, as well as a professor for the university’s prestigious Presidents Leadership Class, teaching upper-level courses on business, management, and leadership.  Brian himself is a CU alumnus, having earned a Juris Doctor from CU’s School of Law and a Master of Business Administration from the Leeds School of Business.

Brian began his professional career as a senior analyst and key member of the team that researched and wrote the New York Times Bestseller, Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap… and Others Don’t.  The best-selling hardback business book of all time, Good to Great has grossed more than $100 million in book sales alone.  As the only research analyst throughout the five-year project for its entirety, Brian performed the in-depth investigations, interviews, and analysis on market-leading companies to understand how they came to dominate their industries.  The research has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Fortune, Business Week, Harvard Business Review, and Fast Company.

Brian is a member of the Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity, and has been licensed to practice law in the state of Colorado since 1999.  His personal accomplishments include earning the rank of Eagle Scout from the Boy Scouts of America, speaking and writing fluent Spanish, writing and directing a full-length feature film distributed by Universal Vivendi, and volunteering – along with his wife – as a foster-adopt parent for Boulder County’s Department of Housing and Human Services.  His foremost passion is his four children: Danielle, Jordan, Augie, and Mikey.
