Is it time for a mid-year business legal check up for your company or corporation? The San Diego business attorneys and corporate counsel at the Watkins Firm bring more than 40 years of experience to help take your business to the next level.
This year brought several sweeping changes for California employers and our medical practice and healthcare business communities. Healthcare providers and businesses are weighing the impact of new minimum wage laws and how to transition to compliance with the new pay scale.
Fast food restauranteurs are struggling with the new $20 minimum wage for their industry.
Non Compete Agreements (NCAs) are now not only unenforceable in California, it is unlawful for employers to enter into or attempt to enforce an NCA. Many clients are asking about the protections associated with trade secrets and the ability to enforce the misappropriation of trade secrets here in California. Is this a potential alternative for your company?

When was the last time you reviewed your internal corporate documents and employee handbooks? Are your corporate documents up to date? Do your corporate documents and internal policies and procedures reflect the best standards based upon all federal, state and local laws and regulatory requirements? Have you performed the necessary steps to maintain corporate governance and compliance and protect the corporate veil? Are your business contracts well crafted to ensure maximum likelihood of successful transactions and relationships?
How can you reduce the likelihood of an employee-related dispute, wage and hour litigation, or PAGA class action? What steps can you enact to reduce your exposure to one of the fastest growing categories of business litigation in San Diego: unpaid overtime lawsuits?
