PRACTICE AREAS

When a startup hires its first employee, it takes a very big step — bigger than the principals of the company might realize. It’s the business-world equivalent of a teenager becoming an adult.

There are many legal issues that may arise when employees are brought onboard — although in the long run, these are good problems because they’re stepping stones to increased growth and prosperity. Some of the issues that we can help guide you through include:

• Workers Compensation
• Conflicts with the Labor Board
• Employees vs. Independent Contractors
• Disabled Employees
• Harassment and Discrimination
