Six ways we help owners grow
Practical counsel for the legal questions that come with starting, running, growing and eventually selling a company.
Formation & governance
Choosing the right entity, drafting operating agreements and bylaws, and keeping annual records clean so the company holds up later.
Employment & contractors
Offer letters, handbooks, contractor agreements and restrictive covenants drafted to fit Colorado law and the way your team works.
Trademarks & licensing
Clearing and registering brand names, protecting original work, and licensing it to partners on terms you can enforce.
Buying & selling companies
Letters of intent, due diligence, purchase agreements and closing checklists for owners buying or selling a business.
Tax planning for owners
Entity elections, owner compensation and transaction structure reviewed with your CPA so fewer surprises reach the return.
Contract disputes
Demand letters, negotiation and mediation for business contract conflicts, aiming to resolve them before they reach court.
Elias started Brandt Legal after more than a decade in a larger firm’s corporate group, where he saw how often owners were handed off between associates. Here, the attorney you meet is the attorney who drafts your documents and answers your calls.
The practice is built around long relationships: a company forms with us, hires with us, signs its larger contracts with us, and eventually plans its sale or succession with the same counsel who knows its history.
A business lawyer who stays with you
One attorney who knows your company, from the first filing to the day you decide what comes next.

What owners say after the work is done
“We used to sign supplier agreements without reading past the first page. Now we call before we commit to anything important. Responses come within a day, the advice fits the way our tile business really runs, and twice the team has caught terms that would have cost us far more than the fee for looking at them.”
“Elias kept the deal on track”
Our acquisition had three parties, two lenders and a tight deadline. The closing checklist Priya built meant nothing slipped, and we opened on schedule.
Maren KowalskiCEO, Front Range Supply“Worth the first call”
I expected a sales pitch in the first consultation. Instead I left with a written list of what to fix, in order, and a flat quote to do it.
Sofie LindgrenDirector, Northline Studio“Two meetings, one plan”
Our founders had never written down what happens if one of us leaves. Two meetings later we had an agreement all three of us understood and signed.
