Colorado contains a diverse mix of energy and natural resources. Water is a vital resource and its use in Colorado is subject to a unique and complicated legal regime known as the Prior Appropriation System. In addition to water, with oil, coal, natural gas and valuable minerals deposits, the landscape is attractive from a renewable energy standpoint. Anyone seeking to develop water rights or natural resources, including energy companies looking to develop solar, wind, geothermal, or hydroelectric power as well as mining businesses can benefit from working with an attorney who understands rights, claims, titles, and how the law impacts their operations.
