BUSINESS & EMPLOYMENT LAW

Building a successful business begins with a solid foundation.  Choosing the right type of business entity, preparing corporate governance documents, properly classifying your personnel as employee or independent contractor, and establishing sound HR procedures are all essential to success.  As your "outside" in-house counsel, we provide on-going support with drafting and negotiating outside vendor and service agreements, NDAs, and intellectual property registrations.
