BUSINESS & EMPLOYMENT LAW
Employment Lawyers in Oklahoma City
America was built on grit, innovation, and the economic principles of capitalism. To succeed, Americans have mastered the art of running a business. Well, many have. Unfortunately, many others have experienced business failures that could have been avoided if they had simply understood this critical business principle; Your business is always at risk!
Prevention vs. Reaction
Smart and successful business people take steps to reduce business risks. Regardless of the size of a business, risk management principles are the same. In order to reduce risks, businesses will typically take the following initiatives:
-
Incorporate; running a business without incorporating exposes business owners and staff to personal liability.
-
Incorporate under the correct category; LLC, LLP, S-Corporation, Non-profit; each has its own rules, risks, and rewards.
-
Formalize share ownership including voting rights and entitlements to profits and dividends, if any.
-
Formalize business bi-laws and operating rules; these establish the foundation upon which the company will conduct its business.
-
Appoint officers, directors, and managers; these people will be responsible and accountable to the owners and shareholders.
-
Create Policy and Procedures Manuals; these ensure a company is operated in a lawful, consistent, and efficient manner.
-
Establish Human Resource policies; these ensure all staff adhere to established employment rules and labor laws.
-
Appoint in-house legal counsel or retain outside counsel; legal counsel creates and enforces all types of business contracts, initiates and defends legal actions and ensures that a company adheres to all government laws of business operations.
Business & Employment Law Basics
To be a successful business person, you must understand and accept the fact that your business is ALWAYS at risk. There are no exceptions to this truism. Businesses are at risk due to poor management. Businesses are at risk due to bad bookkeeping, fraud, and theft. Businesses are at risk due to lawsuits. Businesses are at risk due to poor HR practices. Businesses are at risk for not adhering to local, state, and federal laws. Businesses are at risk for countless other reasons. Your business is ALWAYS at risk!
Every business should have an attorney on retainer. In our experience, a business attorney can help a company (especially a newer company) reduce risk through preventative actions versus reactive actions. Put another way, you want to protect your business as much as possible from risk rather than responding when risks turn into lawsuits, lost money, and perhaps loss of the business entirely.
