Contract Review
Before signing any contract, having it reviewed by a qualified attorney is critical. Our Denver contract lawyer at Baker Law Group, PLLC identifies red flags, areas that need revision, and provisions that may be unenforceable under Colorado law before you sign. In Colorado, many written contract claims are subject to a sixāyear statute of limitations under C.R.S. 13ā80ā101, which makes it important to get legal advice promptly when a contract issue or potential breach arises.

Frequently Asked Questions about Contract Law
When should I have a lawyer review my contract?
It's best to have a Denver contract lawyer review your contract before signing to ensure your rights and interests are fully protected. Lawyers can identify potential risks, clarify obligations, and negotiate more favorable terms, helping you avoid costly disputes later.
What constitutes a breach of contract in Colorado?
A breach of contract occurs when one party fails to perform its contractual obligations without a legal excuse. This could involve non-performance, delayed performance, or performance that does not meet the agreed-upon terms specified in the contract.
How long do I have to sue for breach of contract in Colorado?
In Colorado, the statute of limitations for filing a breach-of-contract lawsuit is typically three years for oral contracts and six years for written contracts. Therefore, it's crucial to act promptly to preserve your legal rights.
Can contracts be enforced without a signature?
Yes, contracts in Colorado can sometimes be enforced without signatures if both parties demonstrate a clear intention to be bound by the contract terms. Evidence such as emails, text messages, or actions consistent with the terms can establish enforceability.
What damages can I recover from a breach of contract lawsuit?
Damages in a breach of contract lawsuit typically include compensatory damages aimed at covering your losses directly resulting from the breach. You may also seek consequential damages, incidental damages, attorney fees (if specified in the contract), and, in rare cases, punitive damages.
