The Law Office of Poorvi B. Parkhie offers a wide range of legal services for our business clients. Our individual service pages describe the key legal areas commonly faced by a business and are not an exhaustive list of our services. We strive to serve all the transactional needs of our clients, including the myriad of other legal concerns that affect or arise during business operations.

Our goal is to help your business thrive and succeed. In support of that goal, we provide a full range of services, including those described below.

Outside General Counsel

Many small and midsize businesses, entrepreneurs, and startups do not need full-time in-house legal counsel, but do need a trusted lawyer by their side. For many of our clients, we serve as outside general counsel on an ongoing basis, addressing any legal need that arises during business operations, regardless of what the concern entails.

Having outside general counsel has definite benefits. If you need legal advice, we save the time of learning your background and business circumstances and can get to work on the concern immediately after you reach out to us. Whether you need to strategize on a new idea or address a matter relating directly to operations, we stand by, ready to help when you need us.

We also stay current with all developments in business law at the federal and state levels, so we can alert you when new legislation or regulations affect your business. We are as invested in the success of your business as you are and work to resolve new issues as quickly as possible, so you can confidently spend your time running your business rather than worrying about legal barriers to your operations.

State and Local Regulatory Compliance

Colorado businesses are required to comply with extensive state and local regulations. The regulations cover everything from employment laws to environmental regulations, licensing, and zoning. We help you understand and comply with the specific requirements for your industry, so you avoid legal issues and potential fines.

Employment Matters

If your Colorado business plans to hire employees, it is essential to understand the state’s labor laws, in addition to federal mandates for employers. Legislative and regulatory enactments relate to minimum wage levels, workplace safety, employee benefits, and other matters.

In recent years, the State of Colorado enacted a number of laws that are employee-friendly, including the Colorado Equal Pay for Equal Work Act, Wage Transparency Act, Colorado Family and Medical Leave Act, and the Colorado Healthy Families and Workplaces Act. As an employer in the state, you need to know how each of these laws impacts your day-to-day operations and comply with their mandates.

Policies

The policies of a business provide a structure for decision-making, establish expectations for management and employees, and ensure compliance with applicable legal and ethical standards. No matter what type or size business you own, policies are essential for every business. Key policies that every business should consider implementing include:

  • A Privacy Policy outlines how data is collected, stored, used, and shared, demonstrating compliance with privacy laws and regulations and the commitment of your business to protecting the personal information of employees, clients, and other stakeholders.
  • A Nondiscrimination Policy ensures that your business fosters an inclusive and equitable environment by prohibiting any discrimination based on race, gender, age, religion, sexual orientation, disability, or other protected characteristics.
  • A Conflict of Interest Policy maintains trust and transparency by outlining expectations for disclosure of personal or business interests of employees, board members, and other stakeholders. The policy avoids conflicts with business goals and prevents conflicts of interest from undermining the integrity and credibility of your business.
  • A Social Media Policy is essential to protect the reputation of your business by guiding employees on appropriate online behavior.
  • A Document Retention and Destruction Policy ensures that your business complies with legal mandates and manages records efficiently.

Your business environment and culture may need other policies to create clear expectations, reduce risks, and enhance the reputation of your business. We help you determine the policies that best serve your circumstances.
