Intellectual Property Protection for Your Business

Intellectual property (IP) is often one of the most valuable assets of a business, particularly for startups and creative enterprises. Whether it’s your unique product, brand, or creative work, protecting your IP is essential to maintaining your competitive edge and preventing others from exploiting your innovations. A business operations attorney can help you secure various forms of intellectual property protection:

  • Trademarks: Trademarks protect your brand identity, including logos, names, and slogans. Registering a trademark ensures that no one else can use a similar mark that could confuse your customers.
  • Copyrights: If your business creates original content, such as written works, music, art, or software, copyrights protect these works from unauthorized use or reproduction.
  • Patents: Patents protect new inventions or processes, ensuring that competitors cannot copy your innovations for a specified period.
  • Trade Secrets: Trade secrets refer to confidential business information, like recipes, formulas, or strategies. Protecting these secrets ensures that your business remains ahead of the competition.

Our team can help you apply for these protections and ensure that your intellectual property is properly defended in the marketplace.

Employment Law and Labor Compliance

Navigating employment law can be complex. Whether you are hiring new employees or managing an existing workforce, understanding your legal obligations is crucial to avoid costly mistakes. A business operations attorney can guide you through key aspects of employment law, including:

  • Employee Classification: It's important to classify workers correctly as either employees or independent contractors, as misclassification can lead to penalties.
  • Wages and Hours: Our team can ensure that your business complies with wage and hour laws, including minimum wage requirements, overtime pay, and meal breaks.
  • Workplace Safety: We help ensure that your workplace adheres to OSHA regulations and provides a safe working environment.
  • Employee Handbooks and Policies: We assist in drafting policies and procedures that align with federal and state labor laws, ensuring your employee handbook is up-to-date and compliant.

By having us review and update your employment practices, you reduce the risk of legal disputes and help foster a fair and safe workplace for your employees.

Dispute Resolution and Litigation Support

Even with the best practices in place, legal disputes can arise at any time. Whether it’s a breach of contract, supplier dispute, or employment-related conflict, having a trusted legal advisor on your side can help resolve these issues effectively. We offer various dispute resolution options:

  • Mediation: A neutral third party helps facilitate a resolution between you and the other party, aiming for a fair and cost-effective outcome.
  • Arbitration: This process involves a private judge who hears both sides of the dispute and makes a binding decision.
  • Litigation: If mediation and arbitration don’t resolve the issue, we are prepared to represent your interests in court, ensuring that your rights are protected.

Our experienced team can guide you through each step, working to resolve disputes as efficiently as possible while protecting your business interests. Whether it's negotiating a favorable settlement or preparing for trial, we are here to help.

    Contract Drafting or Negotiating

    At the core of every business deal is a contract. From key employee contracts to supply agreements, a company’s executive team will need to be focused on negotiating every provision in a contract with an eye to how it will affect the business.

    High-performing teams should supplement their experience with a Cincinnati business operation lawyer who can help them refine contracts they are using every day (like purchase contracts or employment agreements). An experienced business lawyer can also review new deals at a top-level and provide a practical view of a contract or transaction as a whole. This is what we love to do

    , and we’re here to provide the skilled legal assistance you need to ensure you are negotiating all critical elements of the transaction.

    We can also help ensure that business executives don’t miss critical legal terms/rights that get thrown into the contract once the terms like price have been decided. For instance, commercial leases are some of the most complex legal documents businesses can encounter, with terms that can create significant ramifications on your business. We have negotiated dozens of commercial real estate leases, for office, retail, and industrial space, always working to reduce our client’s liability exposure in the future.

    With our help, we find that companies keep total legal hours worked down (lower cost and quicker turnaround time), which also gives the executive team the ability to make a more informed choice about where the negotiations should focus. We are here to find a way to structure deals to accomplish an organization’s goals, avoid liability, and protect its interests.

    Add Value to Your Business Through Effective Legal Counsel

    A new business typically needs significant legal advice when it is being formed. Many business owners make the mistake of thinking that a lawyer is only required as legal issues arise once they are up and running. In reality, legal counsel is needed throughout the business’s life and can help ensure compliance with relevant laws and regulations and avoid legal disputes from arising in the first place.

    By forming an attorney-client relationship early on, we can provide efficient legal counsel as problems later arise. By being familiar with your business and its goals, we can provide tailored legal advice with your bottom line in mind.

    Attorneys can attend key meetings, review important contracts to look for liability issues, and give strategic advice. We are available to provide you with an annual “check-up,” a review of your business to spot issues before they become problems. The consistent advice of counsel can help your business grow and ensure that the growth occurs in compliance with the law.
