WHY EMPLOYERS NEED EQUITY ESQUIRE
Unless your business is a law firm, you did not go into business to spend your time and money in court. In a litigious society, the wrong move can result in a lawsuit, alleging discrimination, or harassment or any other number of claims. Yes, you may win – but at what cost? “Winning” is for games and titles. In lawsuits, you have to “spend” a lot to win a lawsuit – not just in terms of money, but also in terms of time, money, and other resources – not to mention the possible reputational harm and the danger to professional relationships from sideline observers to prevail in a lawsuit. Most small business employers want to do well - if someone would just tell them what to do! If you have an in-house HR professional and an in house attorney, you may not feel like you need counsel. That’s where Equity Esquire comes in. Being able to call a seasoned attorney and ask questions or advice before you make a move is invaluable. After all, prevention is far better than cure.
