Small business owners face a variety of ever-increasing complex issues. Don’t miss a great opportunity to learn how to detect personal matters—such as divorce, financial woes, and family disputes—that can have devastating effects on a closely held business. Find out the best ways for handling background checks and steering clear of employee termination traps. Does your client’s company policy include what to do when employees are tweeting or posting online work-related information? If not, our labor and employment law experts will tell you why such a policy should be in place. Get the latest on business financing in the current economy, and discover alternatives to traditional bank financing. Gain an understanding of important provisions of the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010, including a one-year self-employment tax break and cell phone taxation. Review ways to identify and protect your client’s intellectual property, and examine strategies for implementing noncompetition, nonsolicitation, and proprietary agreements to protect your client’s business.
