Before You Sign, Build, or Fight: Legal Essentials for Business Owners

Running a business means making legal decisions every day—from choosing the right business structure and protecting personal assets to hiring workers, signing contracts, managing risk and resolving disputes. This practical presentation will help business owners identify common legal risks and take proactive steps to protect their businesses. Topics include business structure and liability protection, employee and independent contractor classification, employment policies, contracts and contract red flags, indemnification, dispute resolution, risk management, and recordkeeping. Using real-world examples, including situations commonly encountered in the construction industry, attendees will learn what to look for before signing an agreement, what documentation matters, and when to seek legal advice. Attendees will leave with specific action items and a practical checklist they can use to identify potential legal gaps in their own businesses.
