The firm brings big-firm litigation experience while operating as a lean, boutique practice.

Administrative compliance and agency enforcement

The Compliance and HR Advisory Services page explains that even if a business believes it is following the rules, federal and state agencies actively monitor and enforce wage, hour, and antidiscrimination laws. Agencies mentioned on the site include, for example:

• New York State Department of Labor divisions (including the Workers' Compensation Board, Unemployment Insurance Benefits Division, and Division of Labor Standards);
• The U.S. Department of Labor;
• The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC); and
• State and city human rights agencies such as the New York State Division of Human Rights and the New York City Commission on Human Rights.

The firm:

• Advises employers on how to remain compliant and avoid enforcement actions; and
• Defends employers whose practices have drawn the attention of those agencies.

The website notes that penalties for noncompliance can be severe, including substantial fines and, in some situations, very large penalties for failing to maintain required workers' compensation coverage.

Outsourced general counsel and HR advisory services

For employers without a dedicated employment law specialist, the firm offers outsourced general counsel and HR advisory services. Examples of topics mentioned on the site include:

• Overtime eligibility questions;
• FMLA entitlement and leave questions;
• Reasonable accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA); and
• Termination and disciplinary decisions that may raise anti-discrimination concerns.

The firm emphasizes that getting accurate advice in these situations can often be more cost-effective than facing potential lawsuits or government enforcement.

Contract drafting and employee handbooks

The firm drafts and reviews:

• Employment contracts; and
• Employee handbooks and workplace policies.

The website notes that careful contract drafting and policy implementation are important both to minimize legal liability and to support a fair, organized workplace culture. The firm's experience representing employees also informs its advice to employers about what policies tend to help avoid lawsuits.

The site explains that startups and small businesses are often especially vulnerable to employee lawsuits and that preventive policies and contracts can help protect a growing company over the long term.

Geographic focus for employer matters

Employer-side work is offered for businesses operating in:

• New York
• New Jersey

• Massachusetts

Employers with questions about whether their situation fits within the firm's services should contact the firm directly by phone or through the website's contact form.

The Small Business Services page explains that the firm represents small businesses and startups in:

• Lawsuits brought by employees or former employees, or by government agencies;
• Disputes with competitors, including enforcement of noncompete and nonsolicitation agreements; and
• Matters involving the protection of trade secrets.

The site emphasizes:

• A track record of efficient, solution-focused representation for businesses in disputes with their workforce, competitors, or vendors; and
• Rates that are competitively priced compared with larger firms, while still providing experienced counsel.

The firm also offers preventive services such as:

• Pre-emptive HR audits;
• General HR counseling; and
• Drafting employment handbooks and contracts.

Startup-focused services

The Startup Services page explains that the firm provides early-stage planning and HR support that go beyond basic entity formation. Services described on the site include:

• Officially registering the business entity;
• Setting up mandatory employee benefits (such as unemployment insurance and workers' compensation coverage); and
• Drafting offer letters, employment contracts, and HR policies.

The website highlights the risk of noncompliance with employment regulations for startups, including the possibility of:

• Significant fines tied to missing workers' compensation coverage or unpaid overtime;
• Penalties for misclassifying employees or failing to maintain proper payroll and employee records; and
• Exposure to lawsuits, government audits, and even potential criminal penalties in serious cases.

The site cautions against relying solely on insurance agents, accountants, or non-employment-law attorneys for HR and employee benefits decisions, noting that generic or boilerplate documents can create serious long-term risks.

How to engage the firm

Small business owners and startup founders are encouraged to contact the firm to discuss their specific needs. The site invites business owners to call the phone numbers listed on the relevant pages (such as (973) 319-7798 or (646) 430-7930) to start a conversation about business disputes or preventive HR and employment practices.

Ask anyway — the agent will say plainly that it is not published rather than guess.
