Employers and Managers

It’s tough to be an employer. Especially in New York. Compliance requires a dedicated advocate that few small businesses can afford full-time, and compliance alone doesn’t keep the government or employees happy. There are always new demands coming from both directions, making it easy for you to forget your vision for the business you’ve invested years of your life and substantial personal funds in.

It can be frustrating and overwhelming to make it all come together every day. Sometimes it seems everyone but you is getting paid and going home at a reasonable hour.

Employment Law Defense Attorneys

There will be times when you cannot avoid litigation entirely. If you have an insurance policy that covers the type of claim filed against you, there is usually a duty to defend clause in the contract, which means your insurance carrier will provide you with an attorney from its panel of lawyers with experience in matters like yours. If you are not appointed counsel, you might find one of our below colleagues can defend you:

  • Joseph Harris, Esq., Barton LLP
  • Eric Sarver, Esq. Sarver Law Firm, PLLC
  • Deborah Shapiro, Esq.

Business Consultants

While we are reviewing your workplace disputes, you might discover non-legal issues that are also hindering your success. We have worked with several business consultants over the years to get over occasional hurdles, including those provided through government programs like:

  • Balance Integration Corp.
  • NYC Small Business Services
  • SCORE

Other Business Service Providers

  • FreshBooks
  • Gusto
  • Hell’s Kitchen Tax
  • Paychex
  • Trainual
