Avoid Government Penalties..........Be Compliant!!
It's a new year, and we're all thinking about setting goals for taking care of ourselves. But are you also thinking about taking care of your business?

In this program, business lawyer Galia Schmidt will discuss the many things your business should be doing regularly to stay in compliance and set your business up for success -- and avoid lawsuits or penalties for accidentally missing something.

Topics will include
  • local and state business licenses
  • internal documents like operating agreements
  • annual meetings
  • employee handbooks and posters
  • intellectual property, and more.

This program will be relevant to businesses of all sizes and types, but is a must-do for owners of LLCs, corporations, and businesses with employees.
