Comprehensive Employee Rights and Workplace Discrimination

Facing unfair treatment or a hostile work environment can be personally and professionally devastating. Our employment defense and plaintiff attorneys represent clients in all facets of workplace discrimination. Under the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act (CADA) and federal civil rights laws, employers are strictly prohibited from making adverse employment decisions based on protected classes such as disability, race, sex, sexual orientation, pregnancy, age, or religion. Whether you have experienced wrongful termination, sexual harassment, or retaliatory action for opposing discrimination, we offer the meticulous investigation and strong representation needed to hold employers accountable. We guide you through the process of filing claims with the EEOC and Colorado Civil Rights Division, ensuring all statutory deadlines are met.

Severance Agreements, Non-Competes, and Employment Contracts

Whether you are entering a new corporate role or transitioning out of a company, the terms of your contract can impact your career for years to come. Patricia S. Bellac has extensive experience drafting, reviewing, and negotiating employment contracts, executive compensation packages, and severance agreements. If you are facing a post-employment competition dispute or need help defending against a restrictive non-compete agreement, we leverage our deep understanding of Colorado's strict non-compete laws to protect your right to work. We help executive-level employees secure fair severance pay and protect their professional reputations during corporate separations.

ERISA and Long-Term Disability Appeal Representation

When a severe illness or injury prevents you from working, your long-term disability benefits become a vital lifeline. Unfortunately, insurance companies frequently deny legitimate disability claims. As one of the few dedicated ERISA attorneys in Boulder, Patricia Bellac is uniquely equipped to handle complex disability plan benefit appeals. We understand the stringent federal rules governing ERISA and work aggressively to build a comprehensive administrative record that maximizes your chances of securing the benefits you are owed. From obtaining independent medical exams to challenging the insurer's vocational assessments, we protect your rights at every stage of the appeal.

Preventative Employer Counsel and Corporate Transactions

In addition to representing employees, our firm provides essential preventative counsel to business owners and entrepreneurs. We help companies establish robust workplace policies, draft clear employee handbooks, and ensure full compliance with evolving wage and hour laws to prevent complaints before they occur. We also guide business owners through entity formation, commercial transactions, and mergers and acquisitions, ensuring your enterprise is built on a secure legal foundation.
