KANSAS CITY SMALL BUSINESS LAWYER: EMPLOYMENT LAW FOR SMALL BUSINESSES IN MISSOURI

Swartz Law has a small business attorney who provides a variety of employment law services to startups and small businesses. While many emerging and even established small businesses do not need, or have the funds for, full-time legal counsel, the ever increasing and complicated web of employment laws still apply. We provide the advice and guidance you need to have confidence that your workplace is in order. Let our business lawyer for small business focus on the law so that you can focus on growing your business.

Avoidance. Early Detection. Resolution.

Proactive compliance measures are the best way to avoid employment law disputes and keep your workforce happy. For example, if your business created and developed its own software line, you’ll want to engage an IT consultant and figure out how to license software. Or if your business developed an idea or created an invention, you’ll need to acquire or develop intellectual property, in order to protect your company’s ideas from being stolen by business competitors. If your business has a product, you’ll want a lawyer from a law firm that focuses on commercial law. Alternatively, you may need legal counsel about shareholder and equity agreements, or something more preliminary, such as business formation advice.

When issues do arise, early detection and investigation are crucial to determine the appropriate response and ensure a swift resolution. However, even the most diligent employers will find themselves involved in lawsuits. We seek to resolve matters wherever possible. If litigation becomes necessary we vigorously defend our clients and work tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome.
