The legal relationship between employers and their employees involves a complex web of laws, regulations, and legal decisions which can, at times, be difficult for employers to navigate. At the present time, these rules are more complex than ever, and the changes to the employment relationship are rapid and continuous.
Today, employers need to have legal counsel not only to help them to plot a course through this tangled web of employment-related rules, but also to do so in a way which does not minimize or ignore the individualized needs of their business. At Evans Harrison Hackett PLLC, we recognize that our clients want to focus on their business; we are committed to providing quality legal service which allows our clients to focus their energies upon growing their businesses, and not worrying about unforeseen legal problems.

We strive to provide preventive guidance to enable our clients to handle difficult issues as they arise. As part of this process, we provide timely advice on changes to the law, ensuring that our clients stay one step ahead of changes that might affect their business.

As with all areas of the law, we strive to protect our clients’ goals and interests while ensure full compliance with all federal and state laws.
