Business law

Protect what you’ve builtStrong foundations prevent expensive fights.

Most business disputes do not start in a courtroom. They start with a missing operating agreement, a vague contract, a handshake deal between partners, or a misclassified worker. By the time a demand letter arrives, the options are narrower and more expensive.

We help Colorado business owners get ahead of those problems. Because we understand how disputes are built and litigated, we draft agreements and set up companies with the pressure points in mind. And when a dispute does arise, we assess it candidly and push toward the resolution that protects the business.

Common gaps we see

  • No operating agreement, or one copied from a template that does not fit

  • Partners with no plan for death, divorce, disability, or departure
  • Workers classified as contractors who may legally be employees
  • Personal and business finances mixed together

FAQ

Common questionsStraight answers about your situation.

Do I need a lawyer to form an LLC in Colorado?

Filing is simple, but setting up ownership, management, and protections correctly is where a lawyer helps. Mistakes at formation are a common source of later disputes.

What should a business contract include?

At minimum: scope, payment terms, deadlines, what happens on a breach, termination rights, and how disputes are resolved. The right terms depend on the deal.

Can you help if I am already in a dispute?

Yes. We review the documents and facts, explain your risk and leverage, and help you decide between negotiation, mediation, and litigation.

Do you offer ongoing legal support?

Yes. As outside general counsel, we help businesses with contracts, employment issues, and governance on an ongoing basis.
