Durham Employer Law
DURHAM, NC EMPLOYER LAW FIRM
Risk management and prevention should be a central part of any business plan. If your business employs others, it is important that you understand the potential risks and, when possible, take proactive measures to prevent future legal problems. But when your business is facing a lawsuit from a current or former employee charging sexual harassment, unlawful termination, or discrimination on the basis of race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, age, or other protected class, the potential repercussions could be serious enough to put you out of business. In addition to helping your business with risk prevention, an experienced North Carolina business attorney can help protect your business by offering vigorous legal defense during litigation, civil appeals, and settlement negotiations.
The skilled business lawyers at Law Offices of Robert Crawford are ready to represent your business. As a small boutique law firm, we are also a small business. We understand the concerns of business owners in the Durham, North Carolina area, and we are committed to providing comprehensive legal counsel to business of all sizes.
