Employer Counseling

Employee-related litigation can prove costly to any business, especially to small businesses. Despite these costs, some employers who otherwise exercise sound judgment allow these costs to remain unmanaged at the front end.  We can provide you with the legal mechanisms and solutions your business needs to manage these issues pre-emptively, thus making more money available to your business where you need it.

We provide comprehensive legal counseling across the entire spectrum of employment law and its related areas. Our menu of legal options with respect to employer-side legal counseling includes:

• Employee handbook drafting
• Employee handbook audits
• I-9 audits
• Workplace investigations
• Independent consultant agreement drafting
• Separation agreement drafting and review
• Severance agreement drafting and review

Business Formation

We help entrepreneurs select the proper business entity for their type of business and risk tolerance level. Are you considering a business partnership? A limited liability corporation (LLC)? An S-corp or C-corp? We can explain the pros and cons of each type of business entity and help you choose the best type for you. We also prepare and file all required documents including articles of incorporations, bylaws, and partnership agreements.

Business Contract Law

The success of your new business will be dependent upon a variety of contracts that structure your commercial transactions. We advise business owners on all matters relating to their legal and commercial transactions, drafting:

• Operating agreements, corporate resolutions, and other corporate governance documents
• Purchase and sale agreements
• Vendor and customer contracts
• Independent contractor and subcontractor agreements
• Employment contracts
• Promissory notes and guarantees
• Commercial property leases
• Shareholder agreements

Business Dissolution

When your business has run its course, we can help you end a partnership or dissolve a corporation or LLC, resolving issues of money and control. Allow us to work with you or your management team to resolve your business concerns.
