Integrated General Counsel California business attorney. I partner with business owners to ensure that they have the proper pieces in place to operate on a solid legal foundation.

Integrated General Counsel assists business owners in two ways. We provide transactional services such as contract reviews, entity formation and dissolution, employment policies, and much more. These “routine” matters must be managed strategically to avoid problems down the road – and with nearly two decades of experience representing businesses in their legal matters, I am able to provide my business clients with the clear-minded and time-tested direction that they need. We also provide outsourced general counsel services for businesses and organizations that require regular legal and strategic guidance from a business attorney – but don’t have the workload to add a full-time lawyer to their payroll. My background as in-house counsel for an international corporation gives me the perspective and the ability to create solid legal foundations which allow California businesses to thrive. Please contact me today to discuss how Integrated General Counsel can provide the “legal piece of mind” that your business needs.

If your payroll team has to reconstruct an employee’s workday from memory, texts, and scattered edits, the timekeeping system needs work. In California, employees must have a consistent way to record hours, meal periods, and corrections, while giving managers a reliable process for approvals. The system also has to match the way people actually perform their jobs, especially when employees work remotely, travel, or visit multiple job sites.

Our blog breaks down the practical pieces business owners should look for in a workplace timekeeping system.

Getting paid shouldn't be feel like a crapshoot. Your service agreement should tell clients what they owe, when they owe it, and what happens when a payment falls behind. Deposits, milestones, late fees, and pause-work terms all belong in writing before the project gets busy. Read our blog for more about how to draft service agreements that support a smoother payment process.

Before paying someone as an independent contractor, be sure you can meet the state qualifications for doing so. California stipulates that workers must be treated as employees unless they meet certain exceptions or can prove that they a) do not work under the company's control, b) perform a service that lies outside the company's core business, and c) operate their own independent business. Misclassification can create expensive headaches for your company, including wage, tax, and benefit reimbursement issues. Read our blog for a closer look at gig work and worker classification.
