Resolving Employment Disputes In Denver
Last updated on March 4, 2026
Running a business or building a career in Colorado comes with real legal duties. State and federal rules on wages, leave, discrimination and workplace safety change often. A misstep under the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act or wage laws can lead to agency claims or court action.
At Hardin Thompson PC, we are an experienced team of trial attorneys who represent both employers and employees. Our firm serves the Denver area with a results-oriented approach designed to resolve disputes.
How We Defend Denver Employers
Our team works with business owners and human resources managers through:
- Workplace compliance and policy review: We draft and audit handbooks, wage and hour policies, and leave procedures to align with Colorado law and federal standards. Clear policies today can prevent costly claims tomorrow.
- Internal investigations and agency defense: When complaints arise, we conduct prompt, privileged investigations and represent employers before the EEOC, Colorado agencies, the Department of Labor, NLRB and OSHA. Early action helps control exposure and protect your reputation.
- Litigation and contract disputes: We defend discrimination, retaliation, and wage claims in state and federal court. We also enforce noncompete agreements and protect trade secrets when former employees cross the line.
Remember, even routine workplace issues can escalate fast. Our Denver employment law attorneys prepare every case with a trial mindset because preparation shapes outcomes.
Protecting Employee Rights Under Colorado And Federal Law
When your workplace rights are violated as an employee, you need quick action. Our Denver employment lawyers take direct steps to protect your position and pursue the remedies allowed under state and federal law. We can:
- Investigate discrimination, harassment and retaliation claims under Title VII, the ADA, the ADEA and the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act, then file and manage agency charges or lawsuits on your behalf.
- Recover unpaid wages and overtime by pursuing claims under the FLSA and Colorado wage laws, including misclassification disputes and, when appropriate, collective actions.
- Challenge wrongful termination or denied leave under the FMLA and Colorado leave statutes through negotiation, administrative proceedings or court action.
- Review and negotiate severance, noncompete and executive agreements to protect your compensation, benefits and future employment opportunities.
As a Colorado law firm with trial experience, we prepare each case with the best strategy and discipline required from the start.
