Larimer SBDC is pleased to offer free legal consultations for Colorado small businesses thanks to generous partnerships with Polaris Law Group and Lent Parker Law LLC. For your protection and for our attorneys’ protection, it is important to understand that these consultations do not constitute legal advice, nor do they create an attorney-client relationship. SBDC legal consultations provide general information about certain legal issues or questions you may have, and they can also help you evaluate whether you want to hire an attorney or resolve your issue without hiring an attorney. We ask all our North Metro SBDC small business clients to respect the professional and ethical boundaries required of the legal profession.
SBDC consultant attorneys CAN:
- Listen to your situation and discuss options for you to explore.
- Provide general guidelines on relevant laws.
- Discuss common aspects of and provisions in legal documents and contracts (such as leases).
- Discuss factors that inform whether your business might or might not consider hiring an attorney to address an issue.
SBDC consultant attorneys CANNOT:
- Give you direct legal advice.
- Read, write, edit, or review any documents for you.
- Mediate or arbitrate a dispute for you.
If you are unsure if your questions require entering into a formal client-lawyer relationship with an attorney, please don’t hesitate to schedule a legal consultation and ask. Our attorney consultants love working with SBDC clients, and they will be happy to talk with you!
In addition, if you need additional support beyond the educational guidance of our legal consultants, the Colorado Office of Economic Development & International Trade also offers Small Business Legal Assistance that you might consider in applying.
