Employment Law Advice for Milwaukee Small Businesses

Small businesses are particularly susceptible to legal entanglements over employment issues. While plenty of detailed information on employment law is available online, few (if any) small business owners have the time to delve into all the intricacies of what the laws require. 

Our experienced employment law attorneys can protect your business from legal issues involving current and former employees. We offer:

• Preventative strategies for common problems (non-compete clauses, overtime disputes, employee discipline)
• Guidance on sensitive matters like discrimination and sexual harassment claims
• Proactive legal counsel to address issues before they lead to litigation
• Legally sound strategies to defuse potential conflicts

Niebler Pyzyk’s small business attorneys will work to protect you and your business. Our legal expertise is on par with large, downtown law firms, but with more affordable rates. If you currently have an employment law issue or need advice on avoiding one, contact us to learn more about how we can help.

Small Business Employee Relations

Employers must comply with all applicable equal employment opportunity (EEO) laws or risk facing a lawsuit filed by a government body or former, current or prospective employees. Our experienced small business lawyers can help you understand which laws apply to your business, how to comply with those laws and avoid costly lawsuits stemming from issues including:

• Legal obligations to accommodate employees with disabilities
• Maternity and medical leave
• Sexual harassment
• Disciplinary actions and firing employees

In addition to adherence to federal and Wisconsin employment laws, our attorneys can help employers:

• Manage relationships with employees
• Determine the correct classification as an employee or independent contractor
• Review employment agreements

Our comprehensive understanding of the statutes governing employer-employee relationships helps small business owners stay compliant and reduce the risk of future legal issues.

Small Business Litigation Attorneys

Small businesses are not exempt from litigation issues faced by companies of all sizes. While large corporations can typically afford an in-house commercial litigator or legal team, this is usually not an option for a small enterprise. Niebler Pyzyk’s attorneys provide trustworthy and professional representation for small business owners without the sky-high rates often found at large downtown law firms.

Our attorneys represent business owners in litigation involving:

• Breach of Contract
• Lease Disputes
• Business Ownership Disputes
• Collection of Unpaid Invoices
• Employee Relations
• Real Estate Transaction Disputes
• Misappropriation of Intellectual Property

Niebler Pyzyk’s small business attorneys will protect your best interests in virtually any business tort or legal claim. Contact us today with case details or for preemptive guidance to minimize the risk of future lawsuits.

Legal Guidance on Milwaukee Zoning Laws Affecting Small Businesses

Zoning laws define land use and building regulations such as parking requirements, the maximum size of a building and the number of exits and fire escapes. Small businesses looking to expand in their current location often find themselves in conflict with zoning laws due to their complexities.

Before you expand, it’s a good idea to have a small business law firm review your plans and the current zoning laws before hiring an architect. Niebler Pyzyk small business attorneys have extensive experience in zoning laws throughout the greater Milwaukee area to help you avoid the legal pitfalls of business expansion.

Niebler Pyzyk can help your plans conform to all municipal and state zoning laws and building codes, including:

• Determining the type of zoning your building (or proposed building) is in
• Understanding building requirements and building codes
• Guaranteeing compliance with ADA laws
• Securing any permits required
• Restrictive covenants the developer may have in place
• Signage ordinances

Small Business Attorneys for Succession Planning

Small business owners often overlook succession planning. Failure to effectively plan for the future can jeopardize your small business in the event of death, disability, resignation or another unexpected event.

When advising small businesses on succession planning, our attorneys help business owners make practical strategies with the best interests of the current owners, the business and any shareholders or members in mind.

Small Business Mergers & Acquisitions

Mergers and acquisitions are exciting and challenging for small businesses. Buying or merging with a smaller business can help expand your service area, create a more diversified company and affect areas including ideology, policy, taxes, financing and more.

Our attorneys work with buyers and target companies to successfully navigate mergers and acquisitions, and advise small business owners on the immediate and long-term consequences.
