Contracts & Agreements in Denver
Denver, CO Business Contract Lawyers
Every Denver business runs on a handful of documents that determine whether it gets paid, keeps its clients, and owns its work: the master service agreement a Tech Center consultancy sends every new account, the SaaS terms a RiNo startup puts behind its signup flow, the installation and supply agreements a solar company depends on, the subcontract a trades business signs with a general contractor. As Denver contracts lawyers, we draft and negotiate those documents so the terms that matter — payment triggers, scope change mechanics, limitation of liability, IP ownership, termination rights — are actually in writing and actually favor you, instead of living in an email thread or a template downloaded five years ago.
The practice covers the full commercial stack: MSAs and statements of work, SaaS subscription agreements and data processing addenda tuned to the Colorado Privacy Act, AI vendor and data-rights agreements, manufacturing and supply agreements, distribution and reseller terms, NDAs that protect without overreaching, and independent contractor agreements drafted against Colorado's classification tests. Colorado-specific traps get specific attention: non-compete enforceability under C.R.S. §8-2-113, which limits covenants to highly compensated workers, sets separate thresholds for non-solicitation terms, and imposes notice requirements and penalties for overreach; consumer-facing terms under the Colorado Consumer Protection Act; and the risk-allocation defaults of Colorado's UCC. Where a deal has gone sideways, we focus on negotiated resolution — demand letters, restructured terms, and settlements documented properly — consistent with the firm's non-adversarial model.
Contract work at Relevant Law is priced flat per document or per package, quoted in writing before drafting begins, and delivered on stated turnaround — because a contract you cannot get back from your lawyer for three weeks is a deal you lose. Service is remote-first for Denver clients: send the deal by secure portal, review by video, sign electronically. Growing companies move onto outside general counsel arrangements where the contract stack gets maintained continuously rather than rebuilt in emergencies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About Contracts & Agreements
What contracts does a Denver service business actually need?
Four documents cover most of it: a master service agreement with statements of work that define scope, payment, and change orders; an NDA for prospects and partners; an independent contractor agreement for any 1099 help; and terms for the recurring vendor relationships you depend on. Solar and trades businesses add installation, supply, and subcontract agreements; agencies add IP assignment language so the client owns deliverables only after paying; SaaS and AI companies add subscription terms, a data processing addendum, and usage rights for models and outputs. We build the set as a flat-fee package sized to the business rather than selling documents piecemeal. The right stack is usually five documents, not twenty.
Are non-competes enforceable in Colorado?
Only narrowly. Under C.R.S. §8-2-113, a non-compete is generally void unless the worker is highly compensated under the state's annually adjusted earnings threshold and the covenant is no broader than necessary to protect trade secrets — with a lower threshold for non-solicitation covenants, mandatory advance notice in a separate document, and penalties for presenting an unenforceable covenant. For most Denver businesses, well-drafted confidentiality and non-solicitation terms protect what matters without the statutory risk. We draft restrictive covenants that survive the statute rather than decorate the file.
How much does contract drafting cost in Denver?
Flat fees, quoted in writing before work begins: single documents like an NDA or contractor agreement sit at the low end, an MSA with statements of work in the middle, and negotiated two-sided agreements — supply deals, SaaS enterprise terms — priced by complexity. Packages for a full contract stack are quoted as one number. Review of a contract someone else sent you is typically a fixed fee with a written issue memo and marked-up draft. No meter running while you decide; the quote is the price.
Someone sent me a contract to sign — what does a review include?
A fixed-fee review returns three things: a marked-up draft with proposed edits, a short memo flagging the terms that actually carry risk — indemnification, limitation of liability, IP ownership, termination, payment mechanics, auto-renewal — and a recommended negotiating position for each, ranked by importance. Colorado-specific issues like C.R.S. §8-2-113 covenant limits, classification exposure, and venue selection get called out specifically. Most reviews turn around inside a week; urgent deals faster by arrangement. You go back to the counterparty with edits and reasons, not just discomfort.
What makes an independent contractor agreement hold up in Colorado?
The agreement must reflect a relationship that actually satisfies Colorado's tests — the Colorado Employment Security Act presumes employment unless the worker is free from direction and control and customarily engaged in an independent trade or business — because the label on the document does not decide the question. We draft agreements that document the real factors: contractor control over method, own tools and place of business, multiple clients, and results-based payment. Misclassification carries unemployment insurance assessments, workers' compensation exposure, and FAMLI premium liability simultaneously. If the facts look like employment, we say so before the state does.
When does a business need outside general counsel instead of one-off contracts?
When contract volume becomes weekly instead of yearly — every new client, vendor, and hire generating paper — an outside general counsel arrangement gets you continuous coverage at a monthly flat rate: contracts drafted and reviewed as they arise, the template stack maintained as law changes, and a lawyer who already knows the business on the phone the same day. It typically costs less than one misdrafted deal. Most of our Denver OGC clients started with a single MSA project and converted once the volume justified it. The arrangement scales up or down with the business.
