About

Nick Larson built Bear Peak Law for one type of client: the developer who needs a lawyer that's already been on the other side of the table.

Nick structures workforce-housing transactions, develops small-bay industrial projects, and navigates Colorado’s entitlement process firsthand. He also operates at a complex intersection of Colorado development law, representing both Urban Renewal Authorities and the private developers who partner with them.

Bear Peak Law serves a focused group of developers, builders, and capital partners. If you're building something real in Colorado, we should talk.
