Closely Held Company/Family Business

Sassoon Cymrot Law, LLC, is well versed in the particular challenges faced by closely held companies and family-owned businesses. We assist clients who wish to start such businesses and represent the businesses as they grow from emerging to established companies. Our corporate and tax lawyers work closely together to provide advice to structure corporations, limited liability companies, limited partnerships, limited liability partnerships, and joint ventures, to minimize tax liability. In addition, we advise shareholders, partners, and families on business formation and growth, corporate regulation and compliance, and shareholder and partnership agreements and disputes.

Employment/Labor

Sassoon Cymrot Law, LLC’s employment lawyers advise clients on compliance with the myriad laws and regulations that affect employment in the workplace. Our attorneys help business clients implement employment policies, handbooks and practices to comply with federal and state regulatory requirements, including wage payments, benefit compliance and worker classification. Preventive educational training and procedural audit programs assure regulatory compliance with evolving employment/labor laws, and help our business clients compete and prosper. To compete in the marketplace, our business clients must attract and retain key employees and senior management and protect trade secrets. Our lawyers prepare employment relationship and severance agreements as well as confidentiality and non-compete agreements for key employees and management. Regulatory oversight and complaints filed by employees for discrimination in the workplace can subject business clients to costly fines and damage awards imposed by governmental authorities or court action. When our business clients confront claims of discrimination or other wrongful behavior, our employment and litigation lawyers respond aggressively and represent our clients at state and federal administrative boards and courts. We also provide layoff and termination assistance and enforce employment and non-compete agreements through litigation, mediation and arbitration.
