Can your organization afford the fines, penalties and negative publicity from a lawsuit involving:
- Misclassifying employees or independent contractors
- Workplace violence
- Discrimination
- Failure to correctly compensate wages and overtime
- Outdated handbook/policies
- Failure to accommodate employees, or
- Negligent hires?
That's where we come in.
As an employer in Florida, you have certain rights and responsibilities as they pertain to the business and employees. These rights and responsibilities must be clearly understood by owners and managers to ensure your rights are upheld as much as the rights of your employees are upheld. You want everyone playing by the same book, and that book should encompass company policies that incorporate rights and responsibilities.

Updates to Employment Law and Labor Regulations
Employment law, labor regulations, and wage and hour rules are always changing through case law or legislative bills. The benefit of an employment law consultation is providing up-to-date information on the latest changes and potential liability for employers. Proactively updating company policies and practices can avoid a number of legal problems.
Our employment law/HR consultation services can help your company reduce the risk of government fines and employee lawsuits.
Risk Management for Florida Companies
In many situations, the employer is vicariously liable for the negligent actions of managers and employees. A company can reduce the risk of a lawsuit and costly liability by providing training and oversight to employees and managers. A major aspect of reducing liability for the improper actions of managers and employees is properly responding to complaints of workplace violence, sexual harassment, or discrimination. Make sure your company is proactive and responsive to potential workplace problems.
Start-Ups, Family-Owned Businesses, Medium-Sized Companies, and Larger Corporations
When it comes to employment law and HR counseling, one size does not fit all. Certain federal and state regulations apply differently to companies based on size and industry. A company that has been around for years may have different counseling requirements than a new business or start-up.
Individualized HR and employment law consultations can evaluate the specific needs of each business and provide a tailored plan to address compliance, risk management, and HR practices.
