Jared K. Hassan
Partner
Bio
Jared Hassan has spent nearly twenty years representing developers, entrepreneurs, and business owners who build things in Colorado. A founding partner of Hassan + Cables and a Boulder native, his practice centers on complex real estate development, corporate transactions, and business counsel for companies at every stage of growth. Clients describe him as the attorney who actually listens, understands what they are trying to build, and gives them advice they can use.
He has guided large-scale development projects from raw ground through entitlement, construction, and sale, and represented businesses from their first operating agreement through acquisition and exit. His clients range from startups finding their footing to established companies involved in eight- and nine-figure transactions, but his approach remains the same. He provides practical advice, straightforward communication, and counsel grounded in the client's business objectives.
Real Estate and Development
Jared handles complex real estate transactions and development projects from initial site acquisition through entitlement, construction, and sale. He represents developers, buyers, sellers, and construction professionals in commercial and residential transactions, manages title review and due diligence, and handles the legal complexity that comes with large-scale development in a demanding regulatory environment.
​
Corporate and Business Counsel
Jared represents businesses through the full lifecycle, from entity formation and operating agreements to capital raises, contracts, employment matters, acquisitions, and exits. He has deep experience in the natural and organic food industry, representing both product companies and the firms that work alongside them, service-oriented businesses, as well as clients in the ski and outdoor recreation space.
He is direct about the value of well-structured partnership agreements. Jared often describes them as the business equivalent of a prenuptial agreement. Over the course of his career, he has seen businesses struggle without them and relationships unravel despite the best intentions. Clear governance documents help protect both the business and the people behind it when circumstances change.
Commercial Litigation
When disputes cannot be resolved outside the courtroom, Jared is prepared to handle them. His litigation work flows from real estate and business relationships and covers commercial disputes, contract enforcement, business dissolution, and arbitration. He approaches litigation the same way he approaches a transaction, focused on what the client needs to accomplish and the most direct path to getting there.
