Litigation

As a small business owner, hiring a team of employees or contractors is a blessing. But it can also increase the likelihood of your business facing an employment-related dispute, that could end up in litigation. Allowing an employee's issue to go unresolved far to long, creates the perfect storm for litigation.

When an employee's complaint (administrative or court) lands on your desk, you must have a strategic defense. Just because litigation is naturally adversarial, doesn't mean a resolution can't be peaceful.

Taking a stubborn offensive approach may enrage the disgruntled worker, forcing your business to invest more time and money. 

Arbitration

HL also represents business owners in Arbitration proceedings. If your vendor agreement or customer dispute requires arbitration (by contract), don't go at it alone! 

While this informal proceeding is less daunting than formal litigation (in court), it is still adversarial and your opponent will be prepared to win. 

Retain a legal team that will guide you through this confusing and swift process with the same zeal and strategic approach as if your dispute was in court.
