CLE: Alternative Fees and Services for Small Businesses – Live Webcast
In this world of ever-changing employment law, in house counsel has a responsibility to institute preventative measures for their company, but they’re either afraid of the cost or don’t know that they need it in the first place. Meanwhile, employment lawyers are missing out on business because they don’t realize the need or don’t know how to use alternative fee structures to make their services financially available to the very clients who need them. All too often, a small business will run into trouble and need legal counsel that ends up costing far more than it would have if only they’d invested in preventative representation from the start.
Don’t miss this live webcast on February 3, 2016 that discusses what these companies are missing, what measures they should be implementing, and what alternative fee structures are available to make the cost of legal services predictable and bearable in both preventative work and in litigation. Topics include: areas where small business clients need guidance, including policies and procedures, employee handbooks, adjustments to non-compete agreements, and employee contracts; legal projects that are completed on a flat-fee basis; monthly legal fees to retain an attorney on an as-needed basis; how to handle litigation on a per project basis and not represent the client on the whole case; how to convince new small business clients that preventative representation is in their best interest; and much more!
The seminar is presented by the ISBA Labor & Employment Law Section and qualifies for 1.5 hours MCLE credit.
