Ryan C. Chubb
Partner
Bio
Ryan Chubb drafts contracts through the lens of a trial lawyer, informed by firsthand experience with the consequences of imprecise language when disputes end up in court. As a partner at Hassan + Cables, his practice focuses on employment law, commercial real estate transactions, and business counsel for companies that need a practical, accessible legal resource. Clients describe him as the attorney who uncovers risks others overlook and addresses them before they become problems.
He brings a litigation background to transactional work, which means the documents he produces are built to hold up, not just to close. From employment agreements and restrictive covenants to commercial leases, purchase and sale transactions, and private lending, his clients get counsel that is current on the law, clear about the risks, and straightforward about what needs to be done.
Employment Law
Ryan's employment practice covers the documents and decisions that define the employer-employee relationship: employment agreements, independent contractor agreements, equity and compensation structures, separation agreements, and restrictive covenant provisions. He has particular depth with Colorado's non-compete law, which has tightened significantly and requires a careful review of agreements drafted under older standards.
He regularly conducts employment document audits for business clients, reviewing what is in place, identifying language that will not hold up under current law, and updating agreements before they become a problem. He also advises on the termination process in a way that reduces exposure and treats people appropriately.
Commercial Real Estate
Ryan represents buyers, sellers, landlords, and tenants in commercial and residential transactions. His work includes reviewing purchase and sale agreements, conducting title analysis, performing due diligence, and providing closing support. He guides business clients through commercial property acquisitions from start to finish and represents private lenders in real estate-secured commercial lending, including loan document preparation and lender representation through closing.
General Business Counsel
Ryan provides ongoing business counsel to small companies that need a consistent legal resource for entity formation, contract drafting, license agreements, joint development agreements, and the day-to-day legal documentation that helps keep a growing business on a solid foundation. He also conducts business document audits, reviewing existing contracts and agreements to identify gaps, outdated provisions, and arrangements that no longer align with current law or business operations.
