Protect Your Business. Support Your People. Stay Compliant.
Managing employees isn’t just about people—it’s also about policies, legal compliance, and risk management. From hiring and onboarding to discipline and termination, every decision you make as an employer carries legal weight.
At Brodersen Law, we help small and mid-sized businesses build smart, compliant employment practices that protect their operations and create a strong foundation for long-term growth. Whether you have two employees or 200, we provide clear, business-minded legal support to help you prevent problems—and confidently handle them when they arise.
Employment Law Done Right
Employment law is one of the most complex—and most commonly misunderstood—areas of business law. Federal, state, and local regulations are constantly evolving, and one misstep can result in costly claims, investigations, or lawsuits.
With Brodersen Law on your side, you’ll have:
- Clear policies and compliant procedures
- Sound legal support for employee relations
- Confidence in handling sensitive workplace issues
- Reduced risk of lawsuits, audits, and fines
We don’t just respond to problems—we help you prevent them, so you can focus on running your business.
