AREAS OF PRACTICE

REAL ESTATE & DEVELOPMENT

​​​

The time to have a real estate transaction reviewed by legal counsel (or any contract, for that matter) is before you “jump in with both feet.”  We are frequently contacted by potential clients asking us to review real estate transactions into which they have already entered; occasionally, this delay in seeking legal advice has very serious consequences.  Allowing Sprouse Law, LLC to assist with contract drafting and negotiations from the very beginning of the selling or buying process increases the likelihood of a “glitch-free” real estate experience.  Mr. Sprouse has decades of experience in real estate and development law and can assist you or your company with matters as varied as land acquisition, purchase and sale agreements, project finance, title review, easements, purchase options, commercial leases, transactional disputes, real estate broker disputes and property management contracts.  For developers in particular, the firm is well-positioned to guide a project from the ground up, through the purchase options, financing and governmental approvals that keep it moving forward.  We also take special pride in our representation of a select group of homeowners associations in matters of every stripe and color, from drafting and interpreting governing documents to advising on the Colorado Common Interest Ownership Act (“CCIOA”), the powers of the Board of Directors and responsible governance policies. Finally, the firm remains equipped to handle construction-related transactions and disputes, including construction defect claims under CDARA.

BUSINESS LAW

​

Creating and successfully operating a business in Colorado presents multiple and varied challenges, and ensuring that the ever-changing applicable law is understood and complied with is critical to meeting your business goals.  If you have decided to form a limited liability company, corporation or other limited liability entity, strict formalities must be followed; failure to observe them could cause a business to lose, or never even establish, the shield of limited liability that protects its underlying members.  The time to contact knowledgeable legal counsel is before you set up a business entity.  Sprouse Law, LLC has the experience necessary to help you form and maintain your limited liability company, corporation or partnership, and Mr. Sprouse also serves as legal counsel for Colorado non-profit corporations.  Naturally, the firm is equally well-versed in advising and assisting clients with business asset purchase and sale agreements, as well as complex business contract negotiations and transactions.
