Featuring: Alan Crone, Kramer + Crone
Alan is an attorney and partner at the law firm Kramer + Crone. His focus is on complex business, commercial and employment law.
Topic: Top 5 Things Every Small Business Should Have (But Generally Doesn’t!)
From business partnership and non-compete agreements to employee handbooks and intellectual property plans, small businesses have a lot to protect! Unfortunately, many small businesses don’t have a methodology for dealing with important legal aspects of their business. Even worse, many don’t investigate the necessary options until a legal issue has arisen (sometimes, too late!). In this presentation, Alan reviews the major areas in which small businesses should be covered, so that they may avoid unnecessary litigation by being prepared on the front end.

Topic: Is that Independent Contractor Really an Employee? Making Sure You Are Classifying & Paying Your Personnel Properly and Other Legal Implications of Using "Independent Contractors"
The apparent benefits of deeming workers "independent contractors" are well known, from decreased tax liability to avoiding overtime and minimum wage obligations.
