Small Business Services
The imperative of any growing small business is to prevent employment-related legal disputes, and to address them head-on when they arise
With our expertise in employment law and federal labor laws, we provide effective, hands-on legal services to your business. We believe that “an ounce of preventing is worth a pound of cure.” To ensure compliance with federal laws, state laws, and the U.S. Department of Labor, we offer our small business owners services such as:
- Drafting employment policies, including:
- Equal employment opportunity provisions
- Anti-harassment policies
- Alternative dispute resolution and arbitration agreements
Consultation regarding employment compensation to ensure part-time and full time employees are properly classified, and compensated in compliance with the Department of Labor and wage and hour laws, including the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)
- Drafting and negotiating the terms of employment-related contracts, including:
- Non-competition
- Non-solicitation
- Severance agreements
- Arbitration agreements
- Compensation structures
Legal disputes do arise in the work environment. If your small business is faced with a demand letter, a charge of discrimination with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), or a lawsuit, we offer professional representation, with an eye toward resolving matters in the most cost-effective way possible for eligible employees. Our employee rights expertise includes:
- Claims of discrimination on the basis of race, sex, age, disability, religion, etc.
- Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
- Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
- Sexual harassment
- Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) claims, such as unpaid overtime

We can also assist with Unemployment Insurance matters.
