Our firm believes in a proactive approach when it comes to compliance and risk mitigation. We empower our clients to understand their options and obligations by providing free resources, webinars, and an informational newsletter to stay up to date on all things Washington employment law.
Oftentimes, we find that our new clients without an in-house human resources manager or department do not have active outsourced HR support. If this is the case for your company, we are happy to refer you to a trusted consultant in the area of Washington you are located. Their knowledge and support can be invaluable in your pursuit of maintaining a thriving, compliant workplace.
Business Owners We Represent
We represent owners of small to medium-sized businesses operating in Washington State in their B2B matters. Common types of business disputes are:
- Breach of contract
- Partnership and ownership
- Business torts
- Intellectual property
- Unfair competition
- Trade secrets
Running a business in WA means navigating complex relationships, contracts, partners, vendors, competitors, customers, regulations, and so on. When those relationships break down, the result is often a business dispute that threatens your time, finances, and focus. Our decades of experience partnering with business owners here has given us a foundational understanding of how to approach these matters.
We vigorously represent business owners with practical and focused advocacy. Our work defending employers informs how we approach business conflict, particularly where contractual obligations, ownership/leadership relationships, and competitive conduct intersect. We know the real-world effects that disputes have on your operations, leadership, and team. We do our best to mitigate those and resolve the matter efficiently.
