• I'm starting a business
• Someone else is using my business name
• I'm being asked to sign a contract
• I want to protect my writing but also publish it online
• I'm going to hire an employee!

I’m finally hiring someone else for my business. Now what?

Congratulations! You’ve made it to the point where you need to hire either an independent contractor or an employee. Now the REAL fun begins.

Clients at this stage need legal advice related to the new hire’s tax classification (contractor or employee?), conditions of hire (non-compete agreements, confidentiality agreements, employment agreements, work-made-for-hire issues), terms of employment (including employee handbooks) and many other issues (policies for employee usage of the internet, social media sites where place of employment is identified, etc.).

If companies have never used a lawyer before, this is a very good starting point. I’ve helped many clients through various employee issues, and that experience benefits new clients daily. Contact us to discuss all hiring related issues.
