Running a business requires more than vision. It also requires protection.

As we wrap up National Small Business Month, we want to recognize the founders, entrepreneurs, artists, and creators who continue to build businesses that shape culture, community, and opportunity.

Whether you are launching a new venture, protecting intellectual property, hiring employees, negotiating contracts, or scaling your business, legal strategy plays an important role in long-term growth.

At ARS Counsel, we are proud to support businesses and creatives at every stage of growth.

California may be an at-will employment state, but that does not mean employers can terminate employees for unlawful reasons.

Employees are still protected from:
• Discrimination
• Retaliation
• Whistleblower retaliation
• Pregnancy discrimination
• Disability discrimination
• Violations of public policy

Too often, employees second-guess themselves after being terminated — especially when the employer offers vague explanations or suddenly changes course after a complaint is made.

If you believe your termination may have been connected to:
✔ Reporting misconduct
✔ Requesting accommodations
✔ Taking protected leave
✔ Raising concerns about discrimination or harassment
✔ Refusing unlawful activity

…it may be worth speaking with an attorney sooner rather than later.

Documentation matters. Timing matters. Deadlines matter.

Small businesses are often built on ideas before they become companies.

A brand name. A concept. A creative vision. A product. A reputation.

Protecting those assets matters.

During National Small Business Month, we are recognizing the entrepreneurs, creators, and founders who continue to innovate, build, and grow, often while navigating significant uncertainty and risk.

At ARS Counsel, we work with businesses and creatives across entertainment, intellectual property, and employment law to help protect the work behind the brand.

Because innovation means more when the innovator owns it. Contact us today to learn how we can help you at the link in our bio!

Losing your job after speaking up about discrimination, harassment, unsafe conditions, or unlawful conduct may not just be unfair, it may be illegal.

In California, employees are protected from retaliation and wrongful termination under laws including FEHA and public policy protections. But many people are still unsure whether what happened to them actually qualifies as a legal claim.

Some of the most common warning signs include:
• Sudden termination after reporting discrimination or harassment
• Being pushed out after requesting medical leave or accommodations
• Retaliation for whistleblowing or reporting unlawful activity
• Pregnancy-related adverse treatment
• A sudden change in treatment after asserting workplace rights

If something feels off, trust your instincts and start documenting everything:
✔ Emails and text messages
✔ Performance reviews
✔ Witnesses and timelines
✔ HR complaints or reports

The first 30 days after termination can matter more than most people realize.

May is National Small Business Month, a reminder that behind every small business is a founder taking risks, building something meaningful, and showing up every day to make it work.

Small businesses shape communities, create jobs, fuel innovation, and bring creative ideas to life.

At ARS Counsel, we are proud to support entrepreneurs, creatives, founders, and business owners as they navigate the legal side of building and protecting what they’ve created.

From contracts and trademarks to employment matters and intellectual property protection, legal strategy is part of building a sustainable business.

This month, we celebrate the people behind the businesses and the work it takes to keep building.

Fashion founders: your brand name, logo, and signature print can each be protected, but they require different filings.

Trademark for the name and logo. Copyright (and sometimes design patent) for the print. One filing will not cover all of it.

We believe in innovation, ownership and growth. We don’t believe businesses should grow by stealing labor, silencing workers, exploiting creators, or misusing other people’s ideas. That’s the line ARS Counsel draws and it’s the reason clients hire us for both IP protection and plaintiff-side employment work.

Innovation is powerful.
Ownership is what makes it lasting.

We recently had the opportunity to support our client Saisha Beecham (“The Enhancer”), a highly respected artist and creative with more than 20 years of experience at the top of her industry.

After decades of hands-on work, she identified a gap in the market and developed a product to address it.

Then she did what more innovators should consider: she took steps to protect it.

That move, from expertise to invention, and from invention to ownership, is where real leverage begins.

At ARS Counsel, we believe intellectual property protection is not just a legal step. It’s how innovators hold onto the value of what they create.

If you’re building something new, protecting it early can change everything.
