Business Advice
Businesses and non-profit organizations deserve a trusted advisor to guide them. We can help you ensure your business entity is in order and help you generate necessary filings. The key to professional success is not just technical mastery of one’s discipline, but also doing quality work for clients in such a way as to earn their trust and confidence.
Intellectual Property
Businesses may want to protect their intellectual property, such as trademarks, trade secrets, and copyrights. Our firm can help you protect your intellectual property. You may license property from others or grant licenses to your property. When done incorrectly, you risk impairing your rights. Trade secrets may range from recipes to customer information, however, they must be actively guarded. Let us counsel you about your options.
Employment Practices
Employees are the heart of a strong business. Our attorneys can help ensure your business is in compliance with state and federal laws governing the employment relationship. We can help you create clear expectations and manage your employees. Your employees have the right to work in an environment free from unlawful discrimination and harassment, and we can help you comply with your obligations. The employment relationship is becoming increasingly more complex and regulated. We can help you understand how to compensate employees and contractors fairly.
Risk Management and Stragic Planning
Let our team help you defend your business and keep it healthy. Many industries are mature enough to have established areas of risk and best practices to address them. Managing risk involves applying multiple techniques. Contracts play a critical role in risk management. Insurance professionals, risk management consultants, and investigators can, at times, supplement the legal team.
Contracts and Agreements
Businesses enter into contracts constantly. Your form contracts should meet the needs of your business, and should incentivize performance consistent with risk management principles. Your staff should know the limitations of the form agreement. When you sign contracts with vendors and suppliers, consider having a lawyer review them. For important contracts, legal advice becomes critical.
