CM Law’s Co-founder and Managing Partner Heather Clauson Haughian recently authored an article published by The 1891, Colorado Women’s Bar Association which in which she recounts her trip to attend the Summer Olympics in Paris.
Read a few snippets from the article below
This summer, I had the incredible opportunity to attend the Summer Olympics in Paris, an experience that allowed me to see the city in a whole new light. As an attorney, my days are often filled with the standard contract reviewing, drafting, and negotiating, along with client calls most of the day, but this adventure was a refreshing departure from my usual routine.
One of the most striking aspects of the Olympics was how seamlessly the events were integrated into the historic fabric of Paris. Many of the venues were set against the backdrop of iconic landmarks, offering a unique blend of sport and history. Getting to share this once in a lifetime opportunity of seeing the Olympics in Paris with my husband and two children (16 and 14) was an experience that will live with me forever.

One of my favorite moments at the Olympics was watching Team USA women’s soccer play against Japan at the Parc des Princes stadium, home to Paris Saint-Germain football club. But it’s not because we got to see Team USA bring home a win with Trinity Rodman’s amazing goal against the unstoppable goalkeeper from Japan. Instead, what I’ll remember most is watching that same Japanese goalkeeper (on the very next play after she was just scored on) go over to Team USA’s striker—who was laying on the ground in pain with a charlie horse—help US player stretch her calf until she could get the attention of the referee. Seeing the ultimate example of good sportsmanship and experiencing the true spirit of the Olympics in that moment brought tears to my eyes.

Attending the Olympics in Paris was more than just a series of sporting events; it was a journey through history, culture, and human connection. It reminded me of the importance of stepping outside our daily routines to embrace new experiences and perspectives. As I return to my legal practice, I carry with me the vibrant memories of this summer, a testament to the enriching power of exploring life “outside the law.”
