A leading business law firm in Denver, Colorado

Non-Compete Agreement Attorneys
in Denver, Colorado

Legal Protection with Precision. Practicality with Purpose.

In the fast-paced Denver business landscape, restrictive covenants, like non-compete clauses and non-solicitation provisions, can be a strategic tool or a legal landmine. Whether you’re an employer aiming to protect your competitive edge or a professional evaluating your career options, Linden Law Partners offers trusted guidance in navigating non-compete agreements under Colorado law.

Why Non-Compete Agreements Matter in Colorado

While Colorado takes a narrow view on the circumstances of enforceability of non-competes, there are instances where non-compete and non-solicitation agreements are squarely enforceable. Therefore, under specific exceptions, they can still play a vital role in employment contracts, business acquisitions, and other instances involving highly compensated individuals. Our experienced legal team is well-versed in both the state’s evolving statutes and how to tailor agreements that comply, while still accomplishing your business or career goals.

Our Denver-Based Services

Drafting Legally Compliant Noncompetition Agreements

We draft custom non-compete agreements that reflect both your objectives and which also follow Colorado’s legal limitations. This includes:

  • Protecting trade secrets and proprietary methods
  • Ensuring reasonable geographic and time limitations
  • Avoiding overreach that risks invalidation under Colorado’s non-compete statute

Reviewing and Negotiating Non-Compete Clauses

Presented with a non-compete agreement? Before signing, let us:

  • Assess the enforceability based on current Colorado law
  • Advise on long-term career and business impacts
  • Negotiate favorable revisions when needed
