California employers received a clear signal about workplace privacy this month. The state's privacy regulator launched its first sectoral audit, and workforce data is squarely in scope.

The California Privacy Protection Agency will examine gig economy platforms for compliance with the Consumer Privacy Act, focusing on whether workers and consumers can actually exercise their right to know what information is collected and how it is used. The CCPA is the only comprehensive state privacy law that extends those rights to employees, applicants, and independent contractors.

Many businesses have established robust procedures for handling consumer requests while overlooking the data they collect from their own workforce. That gap is what the audit is designed to find.

For assistance with CCPA compliance or workforce data, contact us at Eanet, PC.

California employers with remote workers in other states received important guidance from a recent decision by the Court of Appeal.

In Saberin v. Alation, Inc., the court held that the state's no-arrest-record protections did not extend to an employee who lived and worked in Utah, was arrested in Florida, and was terminated by decisionmakers in Illinois. The employer's California headquarters was not a sufficient connection, nor was the choice-of-law clause in the parties' agreement.

What mattered was where the employee worked and where the termination was directed. Had California-based personnel substantively driven that decision, the outcome could have gone the other way.

California shareholders received an important affirmation of their statutory inspection rights in a recent California Court of Appeal decision. In Salamon v. Orchid Global, the court refused to enforce a Delaware corporation’s forum-selection bylaw where doing so would have required shareholders to pursue their California statutory inspection rights in another state.

The decision has implications for corporations incorporated outside California that nevertheless maintain offices or corporate records within the state. Under the court’s ruling, an out-of-state corporation cannot rely on its bylaws to redirect a qualifying California shareholder’s inspection claim to another jurisdiction when California law provides the shareholder with a right to inspect the corporation’s records.

By extending inspection rights to certain corporations with a California presence and limiting the ability of corporate bylaws to interfere with those rights, the court confirmed that California law provides protections that cannot be avoided simply because a corporation is organized under the laws of another state.

Starting a small business is an exciting milestone, but it also comes with legal risks that are often underestimated. Small businesses are the backbone of the U.S. economy, yet the data shows they face legal challenges far more often than many expect.

Here are several key statistics every business owner should know:

🔹Between 36% and 53% of small businesses face litigation or the threat of litigation each year.
🔹Approximately 45% of small businesses are dealing with an active legal dispute at a given time.
🔹Over the lifetime of a small business, the likelihood of facing a lawsuit is almost 90%.
🔹Small businesses take on an estimated $106 billion in commercial liability costs annually, despite having fewer resources than larger companies.
🔹Contract disputes are the most common type of business lawsuit, with roughly 12 million cases filed each year.

While these numbers are significant, many legal issues can be reduced or avoided with proactive planning. Working with a business attorney can help you put clear contracts in place, establish compliant policies, identify potential risks early, and navigate disputes more efficiently if they arise.

If you are starting a business or want to better protect the one you have built, contact us today to discuss how we can support you.

One of the most common misconceptions people bring into a legal dispute is the belief that a strong case is a guaranteed win. Even matters that appear airtight at the start can become more complicated once evidence is reviewed in detail, witnesses are examined, and the other side begins pressing its defenses.

Judges also make discretionary rulings that can shift how a case develops in ways that are difficult to predict. Understanding this from the start leads to better decisions throughout the process.

If you are facing a potential legal dispute and need assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out. Our firm is here to help fight for your interests.

California Employers: Effective July 1, 2026, several California jurisdictions increased their local minimum wage rates, many of which exceed the statewide minimum wage of $16.90 per hour.

Make sure you consider where your employees work, not just the location of your headquarters.

If you have questions about which minimum wage applies to your workforce or need assistance updating your payroll practices, employee notices, or workplace policies, the attorneys at Eanet, PC can help.

Pfizer fired a whistleblower two (2) months after he spoke up, got sued, but the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California granted summary judgment in favor of the employer despite evidence of protected whistleblowing.

According to Pfizer, the reason for the employee's termination had nothing to do with what he reported.

Contemporaneous documentation of the employee’s performance issues and a robust disciplinary process helped the employer prevail.

The time to get your disciplinary process right is before an employee raises a concern.

That's the work we do at Eanet, PC. Contact us today.

California businesses: a new federal bill could erase your customers' right to sue you over data privacy.

The SECURE Data Act would establish national standards for protecting privacy rights, and also put an end to lawsuits seeking damages from American businesses for state consumer privacy law violations.

Even as the bill works its way forward, it has received significant opposition from trial attorneys, privacy advocates, and Democratic attorneys general in states whose courts have handed out big-dollar verdicts, such as California and Illinois.

We're tracking the SECURE Data Act closely.
