At Hepworth Legal, we have extensive experience working with employers to ensure that their hiring and termination practices are in compliance with all relevant laws and regulations. Our team of knowledgeable attorneys can assist you with the following areas:

1. Hiring Practices We can help you develop and implement employment policies and procedures that comply with federal and state laws, including those related to discrimination, equal opportunity, background checks, and employee classification. We can also review and negotiate employment contracts, including non-compete and confidentiality agreements.
2. Employee Handbooks We can draft or review your employee handbook to ensure it reflects your business practices and is in compliance with local, state, and federal laws.
