Employment Contracts and Policies for Law Firms

OBA Solo Small Firm and General Practice Program

Are you a solo looking to hire your first associate or staff member? Or do you already have a team, but are wondering if you have strong contracts and policies in place? One thing that the past few years have shown us is that employment agreements are particularly vulnerable to challenge. Even if you think you have good contracts in place, they may not be worth the paper they are printed on.

Join us as our stellar faculty discusses the top mistakes that even lawyers make in their own employment contracts for associates and staff. We will also review what HR policies you need, and what was learned during the pandemic that should be reflected in your core HR documents. Additional topics of discussion will include:

• Policies you are required to have, even if you only have one employee
• How to address severance obligations and post-dismissal entitlements
• The most common mistake: having people sign on their first day of work
