Employment Law

When starting a business, the business owner needs to fulfill multiple functions. including operations, finance, marketing and human resources. As the business grows, the business employer needs to hire employees and/or contract with freelancers or independent contractors to fulfill some of these roles. This brings with it a whole new area for compliance – employment and labor law.

Because of this busy schedule, it can be surprisingly easy for employers to accidentally overlook important employment documents and unwittingly violate Pennsylvania, New Jersey or Federal employment laws. This could lead to costly, stressful and damaging litigation. Therefore it is important to prevent these problems before they occur.

Whether you are hiring a new employee or contracting with an independent contractor, there are contracts, agreements, and other documents which must be carefully drafted and reviewed in order to ensure compliance with state and federal laws. They are:

  • Employment Contracts
  • Confidentiality Agreements
  • Non-Compete Agreements and Restrictive Covenants
  • Code of Conduct
  • Independent Contractor Agreements
  • Release of Claims
  • Non-Disclosure AgreementsTax Forms

Client Reviews
★★★★★
Adam has been my corporate attorney for over 10 years. He is extremely professional and knowledgeable. He efficiently moves through the judicial system and always keeps the best interest of his client in the foreground. Janet
★★★★★
We hired Adam to represent us for a patent dispute. He was excellent from the very beginning. He was thorough, detailed, honest, forthright, succinct, and available to us for questions at all times. Needless to say he achieved the best outcome we could have hoped for, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. I only wish I could have given him a check mark on all of the attributes listed on LinkedIn, but it would only allow 3. Matt
★★★★★
I just recently sold my company and the firm of Danziger Shapiro held up the legal end of the transaction. Adam Shapiro left no rock unturned to protect my interests. The closing did not proceed as smoothly as we had hoped, but Adam was supportive through the entire process. They have been my legal advisors for my company for many years and I have the utmost faith in them. They always keep the clients best interest at heart. J.H.
