Single Point of Contact with a Depth of Resources

What makes BPE Law Group attractive to our business clients is that we are a small law firm, which means we are able to give our clients the close one­on-one attention without the hefty price tag of a large law firm. Additionally, because BPE Law Group is a small firm, its attorneys collaborate with each other on complicated or related legal matters, with each attorney providing insight in their respective areas of expertise. This means that our clients can rest assured that they are getting the undivided attention their matter needs, while at the same time benefiting from attorneys who collectively provide years of experience, skills and knowledge on a variety of issues.

Local, state and federal laws employment laws change rapidly. Compliance is therefore paramount for business owners. The consequences to employers can be severe for failure to adhere to federal, state and local employment laws. Not only are there fines and penalties an employer could be subject to, but lawsuits brought by former employees can result in significant damages against the employer.

It is imperative for anyone who has employees to contact an attorney familiar with these laws to review their current employment policies, manuals, and contracts to make sure they are in compliance, or to discuss employment-related decisions in an effort to avoid potentially disruptive labor and employment disputes.
