Who We Work With

You manage projects, crews, subcontractors, suppliers, and deadlines. When a client refuses to pay, disputes a change order, or tries to blame your work for someone else’s failure, the financial exposure is real and the timeline to respond is short. We represent contractors and subcontractors in payment disputes, breach of contract claims, defect allegations, and lien enforcement. Colorado’s mechanics lien statutes have strict deadlines. Miss one, and you lose leverage you cannot get back. We move quickly because in construction disputes, speed matters. Sometimes a formal demand resolves it. Sometimes it goes to trial. We prepare for both from day one.

Running a business means signing contracts, managing vendors, dealing with partners, and occasionally finding yourself in a dispute you did not see coming. A supplier who doesn’t deliver. A partner who walks. Your commercial landlord in breach of the lease.  A client who refuses to pay after the work is done. We represent business owners in contract disputes, business litigation, and day-to-day legal counsel. That last part matters more than people think. Having a litigation firm involved before a dispute arises often prevents the kind of problems that end up in court. When prevention isn’t possible, we litigate. We know how Colorado courts handle these matters and we know what it takes to build a case that holds up. We also handle various aspects of setting up and changing ownership in your business, whether that is drafting a partnership agreement, reviewing contracts, negotiating an asset purchase agreement, building your franchise, or the like.

Design professionals occupy a particular position when disputes arise. You’re not the one who built it, but your plans, specifications, and professional judgment get scrutinized first. Negligence claims against architects and engineers involve professional standards of care, questions about foreseeability, and often competing expert opinions. We understand that dynamic. We represent design professionals facing allegations and clients who’ve suffered losses tied to design failures. These are not cases for a generalist. The legal questions are specific, the technical details matter, and the other side knows it.

A custom home is not a small investment. When the outcome doesn’t match what you paid for, or your money is paid for work that wasn’t completed, you deserve a straight answer about your options. Colorado law sets specific requirements before certain claims can be filed, and the facts of your contract, warranty, and communications shape everything. We walk you through what the law requires, what your contract actually says, and what a realistic resolution looks like before you commit to a course of action.

Multiple contractors. Multiple subcontractors. Lenders with their own deadlines. Buyers or tenants waiting on delivery. When something breaks down at this scale, whether that’s a contractor default, widespread defects, or a delay that pushes past a lender’s timeline, the losses compound quickly. We work with developers on these disputes. That includes pursuing defaulting contractors, responding to HOA defect claims after close, resolving real estate disputes tied to the project, and navigating multi-party litigation where fault is genuinely shared or genuinely disputed.

Real estate transactions involve significant money and a surprising number of ways for things to fall apart. A deal collapses after a contract. A title issue surfaces after closing. A commission gets denied. A tenant or landlord refuses to honor the lease. We represent individual investors, commercial investors, investment firms, brokers, and property managers in the full range of disputes that arise from these situations, including transaction disputes, fraud and misrepresentation claims, quiet title and partition actions, easement and boundary disputes, HOA matters, and commercial landlord and leasing issues. We also work with brokers on the contracts and agreements that govern their businesses, from broker and commission agreements to independent contractor agreements and regulatory compliance. On the transactional side, we review and draft purchase agreements, leases, and investment entity documents. When a dispute develops, we litigate. When you want to prevent one, we can help with that too.
