Rebecca Weinberg’s Summary
Small and medium businesses today face an endless and futile legal cycle. When a legal problem arises, these businesses are intimidated by the astronomical cost of quality legal representation. They delay hiring attorneys until a minor issue becomes a large legal nightmare. Legal nightmares require attorneys to work long hours. Businesses end up paying the astronomical legal bills they originally sought to avoid.
Why subject your business to this never-ending cycle? Quality legal representation is critical to the success of any business. Confronting legal issues immediately keeps them from turning into lengthy and expensive litigation. Your time and energy is best spent growing your business. Don't spend your valuable time worrying about the cost of legal representation.
At RL Weinberg Legal Associates Limited, we appreciate that you don't have the time or resources to spend on excessive litigation. We work with each client to create a litigation prevention plan and an affordable fee schedule. Although we do everything possible to avoid litigation, when a lawsuit is necessary we handle it efficiently and effectively. We are real people who believe that every business, no matter what size, deserves a legal advocate.
How Can we Help your Business?
**We assess the benefits and disadvantages of hiring independent contractors versus hiring employees. We draft airtight employment and independent contractor agreements.
**We will work with you to create a response plan to employee injuries to reduce the impact of these injuries on your company's bottom line.
**When termination of an employee is necessary, we will advise you on the necessary steps to take to avoid litigation and unemployment claims. We will draft a separation and release agreement to protect your company from any future liability.
**Our seminars and handbooks educate your management and employees on how to avoid sexual harassment and employment discrimination claims.
