The Role of an Employment Law Attorney in Business

Even the most honest employers occasionally require the services of a lawyer to help navigate tough employment law issues. These issues can crop up at any time, so companies should be prepared to face them with the legal assistance of an Employment Law Attorney.

Employee Classifications

Employers who incorrectly classify their employees may face legal action or hefty fines. For example, classifying staff members as individual independent contractors instead of employees could cause an employer to be sued by employees who feel that they are not correctly classified.

Representation in Court

Employment lawsuits are complicated and can take weeks or longer to resolve, especially if the involved parties are not cooperative. An employment law attorney can save time by attending required court hearing sessions so the client can continue to run his or her business.

Reviewing of Agreements and Contracts

Content in agreements and contracts can be utilized as the basis for filing a court case. Tremiti LLC can review the contract to make sure that all the necessary legal terms are correctly applied and are enforceable in court. In addition, the lawyer can give you insights on when to use the contracts to safeguard your company from legal problems.

A lawyer can check the employee handbook and company policies in-depth to ensure that none of the statements or policies violates state or federal law or create unintended obligations. After thoroughly reviewing the documents, the lawyer may recommend implementation of additional policies.

An employment law attorney can also review employment decisions - especially those that affect a significant number of the staff members before they are implemented. Examples of decisions that require the intervention of a lawyer include a change of pension plan, discontinuing an employee benefit, and laying off some of the employees.

Finally, an attorney can deal with some of the often-overlooked facts of day-to-day business - such as reviewing licenses, intellectual property violations, and potential tax liabilities - and act as a company's first line of defense against malicious lawsuits. You can Contact- Tremiti LLC to manage all these roles diligently and help your business stay walled against potential legal problems.
