Perkins Law Firm

The Perkins Law Firm helps businesses and individuals navigate the complex of laws that govern the world of "doing business." To that end, we help people shore up employment practices, negotiate and draft contracts, and give practical advice on avoiding litigation. But just as importantly, we are there when things get tough. With ten years of litigation experience, we stand ready to aggressively defend your rights in court.

We help businesses and individuals with employment handbooks, discrimination claims, wage & hour collective action lawsuits, wrongful discharges, noncompete agreements and much more. Our practice covers areas such as: Appellate Practice; Business Law (Formation, Dissolution, Organizational Documents); Civil Rights (Constitutional Violations); Contracts (Negotiation, Review, and Drafting); Defamation & Slander; Discrimination claims; Equal Pay Act claims; Family Medical Leave Act issues; Non-Compete Agreements; Sexual Harassment; Wage & Hour issues (overtime / misclassification as 1099 instead of W-2); and Wrongful Terminations.

Lee Iacocca once wisely said, "Start with good people, lay out the rules, communicate with your employees, motivate them and reward them. If you do all those things effectively, you can't miss." But the best businesses make waves, and with those waves come challenges. While the most agile of companies may adapt and overcome, in business the best defense is not a good offense: it's preparation. Preparing your business for success means anticipating the challenges you will face and taking steps to shore up your employment practices, contractual relationships and agreements, and making sure your organizational documents are in order. We can help.

We can assist with:
Business Formation -- The form of business you choose will largely be dictated by the number of owners, your tax situation, your potential need for additional investment capital, and how you desire to manage your business. Whether a sole proprietorship, corporation, limited liability company, or partnership, we can help you draft and file the documents necessary to get your business off and running in the right direction.

Document Analysis. We can review your existing corporate documents, contracts, invoices, and leases for enforceability issues and other potential problems.

Negotiations and Contract Drafting. Contracts can be incredibly nuanced. It is important for businesses to know exactly what their contracts say before signing the dotted line. We will endeavor to negotiate favorable terms for your business and work to ensure that your agreements are clear on their face and free from the uncertainty that inevitably exposes businesses to unnecessary risk. Let us evaluate your contracts before signing anything. Negotiating favorable terms up front saves money and grief later.

Litigation. When litigation is necessary, we can help formulate the strategies necessary to see the case through to the end. Whether you have been threatened with litigation or need to enforce an agreement (pursue a collection matter, evict a tenant, obtain an injunction), we can help.
