Massachusetts Small Business Law

Business Law Solutions

If you are like most business owners we work with, you may be too busy doing what you do to stop and think about what protection and legal advice you might need to prevent problems in the future.  And even if you do have time to think about it, you may not know what questions to ask.  Below are some of the things most of our business clients ask us for help with.

How Can a Lawyer Help Your Small Business?

  • Starting Your Business
  • Make Contracts Work for You
  • Using Independent Contractors
  • Get Employment Policies Right
  • Employment Termination
  • Civil Lawsuits
It is never too soon to start protecting yourself from the risks of a new business.  We can help you create the right structure for your that protects your family's assets from your business risks.
If you do not have solid contracts in place in your business, you may find yourself in litigation if something goes wrong.  We create clear and understandable contracts to make sure your interests are protected.
Massachusetts law strictly limits who can be considered a contractor, and the cost of getting it wrong can be much higher than putting them on payroll.  We can help make sure you get this right.
The last thing you need is an expensive employee lawsuit.  The truth is most of these suits come from common mistakes that are easily avoided.  We  help steer you away from those traps before they become a problem.
If you have to let someone go, an ounce of prevention is worth at least a pound of cure.  We provide a roadmap for the termination process that steers you away from common legal mistakes and manages any risk you may have.
Defending a lawsuit was not part of your plan, but sometimes it happens.  When it does, you want someone in your corner who will not only defend you but make it a priority to get to resolution as quickly as possible.
