Wage & Hour Audits
The last problem your organization needs is an audit by Wage & Hour that reveals your salaried or hourly employees are improperly classified for purposes of overtime. Moreover, it is important that your organization’s independent contractors are properly classified and are not improperly designated employees. Our firm provides Wage & Hour audits at fixed costs designed to identify potential Wage & Hour violations. We will work with your organization to correct any such violations while minimizing exposure to the organization.
Personnel Handbooks
It is an important part of risk management and overall employee management to have a legally up-to-date employee handbook apprising employees of their rights and responsibilities. Our firm’s attorneys have experience preparing, modifying, and updating employee handbooks. We charge a flat fee for such services because we recognize it is important for your organization to take advantage of this valuable service while also adequately budgeting for such an investment.
Litigation
As a charity or non-profit organization, you do not want to think about the idea of being sued or having to sue someone. If this happens, however, you want attorneys in your corner who will zealously advocate for your organization’s best interests. If you or your organization has to sue to enforce a contract, protect its reputation, or to otherwise safeguard its legal rights, we are here for you. We will also zealously defend your organization if a lawsuit is filed against it.
Risk Management
You put your all into your organization. It is as unique and hard-working as you are. Accordingly, you want to protect it. In today’s ever changing and evolving legal environment, your organization needs attorneys and counselors at law you can count on to help you manage risk. Whether the risk is from criminal activity, clients, or even employees, we can help your organization identify and manage risk.
