Small Business Checkup

Do you own a small business? Are you interested in starting one? Do you know your rights and responsibilities as a small business owner? Business clients often come to us after a dispute has arisen, when it is too late for preventive measures. Just as in medicine, an ounce of legal prevention is worth a pound of cure. It is far simpler, and ultimately cheaper and less painful to make sure that your contracts, business documents, manuals, and other business affairs are in order so that you won’t have to litigate ambiguous situations after a problem has occurred.
