WATER LAW

In Colorado, water rights are property rights, which may be purchased, sold and leased with, or separate from, the land on which they have been used. Disputes involving water rights can be complex and sophisticated, involving both state and federal law, and requiring an understanding of business and commercial litigation, contracts, real estate, environmental law, and water law.
