The Gabay Law Group, P.C. works with small businesses and startup companies located in New York who wish to acquire the value and benefit of an in-house corporate counsel, but cannot yet justify the expense. Typically, our clients have up to 25 employees and/or annual revenue under $20 million. We are different than almost every other business law firm. Why? Because of our fixed fee/flat fee pricing model. All of our work is billed on either a fixed fee per project or a fixed monthly retainer basis. Your company is never ‘on the clock.’ You can finally budget your legal costs just like every other important recurring expenses in your business.
Our fixed monthly fee approach has the added benefit of smoothing out the cost of fluctuations in the amount of legal work and advice your business may need. There may be some months where little or no work is required, and others in which your business needs substantial amounts of legal help and advice. The ability to even out legal costs allows your business to predict and manage its legal costs just like it does other important and recurring expenses.
New York’s recent amendments to the Wage Theft Prevention Act, which became effective on April 9, 2011, requires all New York employers to provide new and expanded wage rate information and notices to all employees. The law contains very substantial civil monetary penalties for employers who fail to comply with the new requirements.
Here is a summary of the new rules. For help in applying the new requirements to your business, please contact us at 631-467-4177 or David@New-York-Business-Lawyer.com
