SMALL BUSINESS EMPLOYMENT LAW SERVICES IN BOSTON

Swartz Law specializes in employment law services tailored for startups and small businesses in Boston and throughout Massachusetts. We offer expert legal counsel specifically geared towards small business employment and local business needs.

Recognizing that many small and emerging businesses may not require or be able to afford full-time legal advisors, we provide essential guidance to navigate the complex landscape of employment laws. Our dedicated employment lawyer for small businesses ensures your operations are compliant, allowing you to concentrate on business growth while we handle the legal intricacies.

Avoidance. Early Detection. Resolution.

Implementing proactive compliance measures is essential to avoiding employment law disputes and ensuring a satisfied workforce. For instance, if your business has developed its own software, it’s crucial to consult an IT expert to establish licensing. For businesses that have devised an idea or invention, acquiring or developing intellectual property is necessary to safeguard these assets from competitors. Additionally, companies with a product should consult a lawyer specializing in commercial law. Legal advice may also be required for matters like shareholder and equity agreements or initial business formation.

When issues do arise, early detection and thorough investigation are key to determining the right response and facilitating a quick resolution. Despite taking diligent measures, employers may sometimes face lawsuits. Our approach is to resolve matters whenever possible through negotiation and mediation.

If litigation becomes unavoidable, we are committed to vigorously defending our clients. We work diligently to secure the best possible outcomes, ensuring that our clients’ interests are protected and advanced throughout the legal process.
