A free contract may look like a bargain until the business discovers what the document failed to cover. Adrienne Fischer warns that copied or AI-generated agreements may not fit how a company actually operates.

What you plant early grows later. 🌱

When you’re building a business, it’s easy to focus on what feels urgent—finding customers, developing your brand, generating revenue, and getting the next big idea off the ground.

But some of the decisions that seem less exciting in the beginning can have an outsized impact on where you end up.

Choosing the right business structure. Defining ownership and responsibilities. Protecting your name and intellectual property. Putting agreements in place before you need them.

Those are the roots that can support everything that comes next.

And now, we’re taking the idea of strong roots a little more literally. 🌲

For every new Business Formation or Trademark Package purchased through Basecamp Legal, we’ll plant a tree through The Gifted Tree.

Build something worth growing. Protect what makes it yours. And plant something for the future along the way.

Why Did This Lawyer Choose Prevention Over Court Battles?

A legal career can take unexpected turns, especially when experience reveals a better way to help people.

After discovering that traditional litigation was not the right fit, the focus shifted toward preventing conflicts before they reached the courtroom.

This approach shows how legal support can help people address challenges earlier and avoid unnecessary disputes.

Some things are worth checking before you head out the door.

If you own or operate a Colorado therapy practice, now is a good time to review how your practice is using AI and whether your clinician classifications align with Colorado law.

We'll be covering both topics during our free webinar next week:

A quick AI disclosure of our own: the image in this post started as a real photo, and we used AI to turn it into a short video clip.

AI can be extremely helpful in business when it’s used intentionally, transparently, and in a way that follows new legal standards.

For therapists in Colorado, that matters even more as new rules take effect around how AI can be used in behavioral health care.

We’ve put together five practical areas every Colorado therapy practice should consider reviewing as AI becomes more common in day-to-day operations.

If you’d like a deeper look at what the new law means for therapists, read our latest blog:
Colorado AI Law for Therapists: A Guide for Colorado Therapy Practices

It breaks the law down in plain language and offers practical guidance for solo practitioners and growing therapy practices.

As therapy practices grow, so do the legal questions.

Maybe you're hiring your first administrative employee. Maybe you're bringing on an associate clinician. Maybe you've started using AI tools to make documentation a little more efficient.

Growth is exciting, but it's also a good time to make sure your legal foundation is keeping pace.

Our upcoming webinar is designed for Colorado therapy practices that want practical guidance on two areas we're discussing with clients every week:
âś” 1099 contractors vs. W-2 employees
âś” Colorado's new AI requirements for behavioral health providers

Myth: If someone receives a 1099, they're automatically an independent contractor.
Fact: It's not that simple.

One of the most common misconceptions we hear from business owners, especially therapy practices, is that issuing a 1099 determines whether someone is properly classified as an independent contractor. Under Colorado law, that's only one small piece of the picture.

Factors such as supervision, scheduling, the level of independence, how integrated someone is into your practice, and the amount of control you exercise over their work can all play a role in determining whether they're properly classified.

Getting it wrong can create unnecessary legal, tax, wage, and workers' compensation issues that many practice owners never intended to create.

If you own or operate a Colorado therapy practice, we'll spend part of our upcoming Therapy Practice Compliance: Colorado 1099s + AI webinar discussing what practice owners should know about independent contractor classifications and some of the common mistakes we see.

Artificial intelligence is becoming part of everyday life, including many Colorado therapy practices.

Many therapists use AI to help organize notes, reduce administrative work, or spend more time focused on their clients. Used thoughtfully, these tools can be incredibly valuable.

Colorado's new law doesn't say therapists can't use AI. It says psychotherapy must remain human-led.

That means licensed professionals must remain meaningfully involved in therapeutic communications, review AI-generated treatment recommendations, obtain informed consent when required, and be transparent with clients about how AI is being used.

For many practices, this is a good time to pause and double-check that paperwork and systems are A) working and B) compliant with Colorado's new requirements.

If you're wondering what these changes mean for your practice, we'll be discussing them in our upcoming webinar, Therapy Practice Compliance: Colorado 1099s + AI, on August 26.

If you're a Colorado therapist or practice owner, we'd love to have you join us.
