Pro-Tip: “f you’re going to be doing some big business, you’re going to have big liability or you could personally not have big liability. And also you can have an entity that can be sold. You can have an entity that can be sold in whole or bring in investors. If you do everything right, you get to do all these things. If you get a big opportunity and you didn’t set your company up correctly, then you can’t have your friend with an extra million dollars. So invest, come on over. You’ve got to rewrite everything and You’ve got to restructure everything and You’ve got to hope you didn’t make any mistakes. And all of a sudden that opportunity doesn’t look so like a good deal. And that person who’s got the investment money will say, well, this person’s not professional. This person’s not really serious about doing business. And you’ll miss it all because you didn’t pay attention in the beginning when you formed a company.

California employers have got to be the toughest people on the planet, especially in the country because doing business and California is hard on employers. In the last five years, they’ve passed more laws to change things for employers than they have in the last 20. The laws changed so dramatically, especially AB five to make it so much more difficult and so much more expensive to be a California employer that every single person thinking about hiring somebody should have a lawyer, who can help them should have a law firm that can provide HR services.

We have that if you can’t afford your own in-house HR person, we have HR people here that can answer your questions and set you up and make sure you’re in compliance with all the regulations, all the training for your executives training for your regular employees, that you can have signed off. Doesn’t take that much money to do, but if you don’t do it right by the right entities or people, then you could find yourself in trouble in the form of employment lawsuit.

People who have their own businesses or are forming or purchasing their own businesses, should seek a business lawyer as a counselor, sort of like an advisor and an older experienced lawyer. Like we have at the Watkins firm. We’ve seen it all. We’ve seen every type of company, every type of business. And we’ve been there through the good times and the bad times. And so we have a lot of insight above and beyond just forming your entity, like some kind of form you find on the internet. We give you real world business advice that is tied to the law.” – Dan Watkins, Founding Partner
