What happens when a company which was formed or has business in another state or states begins to transact business in California? Why do out-of-state entities need a San Diego business attorney and how can the Watkins Firm help to protect your corporation or business?
California has complex laws which govern the conduct of business within our state. It may be obvious for those who have offices or a physical location here in San Diego or Southern California, but what if your company is simply conducting business in California? Some of the guidelines in these situations include specific income thresholds while others are based on a percentage of the company’s overall revenues.
Out-of-state entities need a San Diego business attorney with decades of experience to ensure compliance with California’s complex business laws and commercial code. California has many unique laws which govern not only how you pay employees but their rights regarding employment and standing in a dispute. For example, the California Private Attorneys General Act or PAGA allows any California employee to step into the shoes of our Attorney General with extensive powers to investigate alleged employment violations while seeking other employees who might join the lawsuit. Contracts which protect employers in other states, especially as they relate to arbitration clauses, may not stand up to California’s unique employment laws.
The Watkins Firm are proven San Diego business attorneys who provide sound advice and counsel based upon decades of experience here in Southern California. Out-of-state entities need a San Diego business attorney who can protect their interests, identify potential issues and exposures and protect the corporate veil while ensuring compliance with all federal, state and local laws and ordinances. Is your company technically “doing business in California” under our corporate laws? Does your entity face unknown exposures or potential liabilities? We invite you to review the strong recommendations of our clients and the legal industry and contact the Watkins Firm or call 858-535-1511 for a complimentary consultation today.
