It is common to use an attorney when starting a business, but legal advice is not only useful at the beginning, it can also be cost-effective over the life of a business. Well-crafted employment contracts and employee handbooks can help avoid discrimination lawsuits and ensure compliance with federal statutes (FMLA, FLSA, OSHA, ERISA, etc.). A strong purchase agreement can make collection more likely. Whether you are at the fun beginning, in the middle of a crisis, or deciding how to wind down a business, call our office at 616-458-3994 for assistance.
