Ariana Busby

I am an Associate at McConaughy & Sarkissian, P.C., licensed to practice in all Colorado state courts and the United States District Court for the District of Colorado. Prior to joining McConaughy & Sarkissian, P.C., I was an attorney at Hall & Evans, LLC, where I practiced civil litigation, administrative, and regulatory law, covering a wide variety of practice areas including health care, professional liability, premises liability, products liability, insurance coverage, campaign finance, and construction defects. I also own and operate my own firm, Busby Law Group, PLLC, focused on representing health care providers before their licensing agencies, in civil litigation, and as general counsel, as well as all other aspects of administrative law.

I have an extensive background in government, previously serving as the Director of the Mental Health Boards with the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies. I also previously served as Chief of Staff for the Colorado State Senate, after quickly working my way up the ranks from a Policy Intern, to Policy Analyst, and Policy Director. As a policy staffer, I focused on a variety of policy areas, including construction defects, education, healthcare, insurance, business, marijuana, public finance, and natural resources policy.

I graduated from the University of Denver Sturm College of Law as a member of the Phi Delta Phi Legal Honor Society and with an Environmental & Natural Resources law certificate. While in law school, I worked full time at the Colorado State Senate and interned with a litigation law firm and a regulatory law firm. I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Public Policy and Government with a minor in Law Studies from the University of Colorado – Denver.
