The employer must evaluate the skills, experience, and personality of the potential employee in a short period of time and then decide whether the applicant fits in with the business atmosphere of the company.  All the while, the employer needs to comply with the applicable laws regarding employment and non-discrimination.  The potential employee would like to feel like a valued member of the company and ensure that he or she is being treated fairly by the employer during the hiring process. 

The Burton Law Firm can help the parties enter the employer-employee relationship with trust and confidence.  Our attorneys can assist both employers and employees in negotiating employment contracts to ensure that each party is satisfied with the transaction. 

Legal Risk Management
(protecting businesses from sexual harassment suits, tort suits, employment discrimination) 

After formation, one of the most important things a company can do is take steps to avoid potential lawsuits.  Many companies develop a sexual harassment policy, employee handbook, safety procedures, and other guidelines to ensure that the business runs efficiently and avoids legal problems in the future.  The Burton Law Firm can help your company achieve your risk management goals by developing these guidelines, explaining the laws applicable to the company working environment, and presenting this information to employees and management.  Once the risk management plan is in place and has been implemented, an attorney may return to the company periodically to address any concerns the company may have.
