You are a business owner, executive or HR Professional.
You are busy. You wear many hats - but lawyer is not one of them. It's not that you need a lawyer or a law firm all the time, but when you have an employment question, problem, or issue, you need an employment lawyer who is experienced and responsive.
You need to update your employee handbook, or establish a compensation structure, or deal with an employee who is taking medical leave. You want to engage or provide services as an independent contractor. You need a severance agreement for a departing employee.
