Rarely do I give 5 stars but Attorney Kevin Strait answered all my questions about starting my business and helped me analyze my start-up costs. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and made my life so much easier.
Seriously impressed.

Business Formation
Anzen Legal Group provides legal services for business success, whether you are a first-time owner ready to launch your business or an established company looking to expand into Colorado. We can recommend the best legal entity and draft contracts for your business goals and partners.
Corporate Formation for Businesses
Our legal team looks at your goals and the structure of your business to find the best legal entity for you. The right business entity can maximize profits and protect you from liability. We prepare and file your business documents with the state so you can get back to growing your business. Here are different business entities we can assist with:
Limited Liability Company (LLC)
A limited liability company (LLC) is a legal entity that offers reduced liability for business owners and flexible profit-sharing options. Business owners can decide how to divide profits and how to reinvest in their company. LLC owners can report profits on their individual tax returns rather than corporate tax returns, preventing double taxation.
Corporation
A corporation is a legal organization formed by filing the Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State. The corporation is entirely separate from its founders, so there are fewer ways a creditor or injured person can sue you personally. A board of directors selects the strategy and managers of the corporation. Federal and state authorities impose separate tax procedures on corporations.
Benefit corporation
A recent development in business law is the Benefit Corporation, or B-Corp. They follow similar rules as traditional corporations, but the B-Corp is specifically allowed to use its profit for a charitable or community purpose. For example, a B-Corp might donate to a charitable cause, invest significant revenue back into employee enrichment, or use less-profitable business practices to remain environmentally friendly.
Limited partnership (LP)
A limited partnership consists of general partners that run the business and limited partners who function as co-owners or investors in a business. The limited partners enjoy protection from the debts and lawsuits of the business, but do not exert control over the business.
General partnership
Two or more people form a general partnership when they operate a business together but have no other business structure. A general partnership can occur even if the business owners did not write anything down. But, a general partnership can have written agreement and a business structure by registering with the Secretary of State, and can reduce some personal liability of the partners.
Sole proprietorship
The sole proprietorship is a business that registers with the state and declares a business name, but has little financial protection for the owner. They are simple, cheap to begin, and can be a good fit for a side business. A sole proprietorship can be the first step to doing business under a business name, obtaining insurance coverage, and meeting your tax obligations.
Contract Drafting and Enforcement
Your business contracts protect you from potential disputes that could cost you money and time. Through specific language, you can prevent conflict and confusion from the beginning. We prepare detailed agreements for you, including employment contacts, confidentiality contracts, sales agreements, lease agreements, or intellectual property licenses. We can help you pursue your legal options for contract disputes, including arbitration, mediation, and lawsuit.

Testimonials
I call Kevin with Anzen Legal for all of my aviation business’s legal needs. His advice was invaluable to my business start-up process.
Attorney Kevin Strait did an amazing job to help us get out of an urgent predicament that required immediate action over a weekend in a complex matter. He was extremely responsive to our needs and his counsel was spot on and helped resolve the situation within less than 72 hours. Highly recommended!
Kevin, one of the attorneys, does a great job explaining how the law works for me and against me whenever I have a business question.
Kevin at Anzen Legal helped me avoid some legal pitfalls in my industry association meetings. He does a great job applying legal knowledge to the real world of business.
One of the attorneys, Kevin Strait, walked me through all my options for starting a non-profit. He was able to boil down the process to the essential things I needed to know.
The team at Anzen are without a doubt the best I have worked with. Not only are they competent, professional, and knowledgeable, but they are the 1% of attorneys that the 99% are giving a bad name to. Do yourself a favor, and place all your legal affairs in their capable hands. I didn’t regret it and neither will you.
I have had the privilege to work with Mr. Strait on both personal and professional levels, and I have a deep level of respect for him in both areas. Mr. Strait is a competent attorney which is further enhanced by his prior engineering and business experience. What I most deeply respect about Mr. Strait is his integrity and his care for people as individuals, and I consider him heroic in both. I continue to rely on his services, and I commend him to others as well.
