Employment Counsel for Businesses
Running a business means making difficult people decisions. You need legal advice that helps you understand the risk without losing sight of the business. Richardson Law works with businesses and their leaders to address employment issues thoughtfully, practically, and before they become bigger problems.
Employment Counseling
Practical, day-to-day advice on workplace issues, including:
Hiring and onboarding, including offer letters and executive employment agreements
Employee performance and discipline
Leaves of absence and workplace accommodations
Employee complaints and workplace concerns
Terminations and reductions in force
Severance and separation agreements
Employment policies and practices
Other sensitive employee-relations matters
The goal isn't simply to identify legal risk. It's to help you make sound decisions and move forward.
Workplace Investigations
When an employee raises a serious workplace concern, a prompt, fair, and thorough investigation matters.
Richardson Law conducts independent workplace investigations involving allegations of discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and other employment-related misconduct, providing employers with an experienced and objective assessment of the facts.
Workplace Training
Effective managers need more than a list of legal rules.
Richardson Law provides practical, customized workplace training designed to help leaders and employees understand both their legal obligations and how those obligations show up in real workplace situations.
Training can be tailored to an organization's needs and may include harassment and discrimination prevention, respectful workplace practices, managing employee performance, accommodations and leave, and effective people management.
Policies & Handbooks
Employment policies should reflect both the law and the way your organization actually operates.
Richardson Law drafts and reviews employee handbooks, workplace policies, and related employment documents to help businesses establish clear expectations, address legal requirements, and create practical guidance for managers and employees.
