Integrated General Counsel

Integrated General Counsel California business attorney. I partner with business owners to ensure that they have the proper pieces in place to operate on a solid legal foundation.

Integrated General Counsel assists business owners in two ways. We provide transactional services such as contract reviews, entity formation and dissolution, employment policies, and much more. These “routine” matters must be managed strategically to avoid problems down the road – and with nearly two decades of experience representing businesses in their legal matters, I am able to provide my busi

ness clients with the clear-minded and time-tested direction that they need. We also provide outsourced general counsel services for businesses and organizations that require regular legal and strategic guidance from a business attorney – but don’t have the workload to add a full-time lawyer to their payroll. My background as in-house counsel for an international corporation gives me the perspective and the ability to create solid legal foundations which allow California businesses to thrive. Please contact me today to discuss how Integrated General Counsel can provide the “legal piece of mind” that your business needs.

In a new state report from the National Federation of Independent Business, 21% of California respondents identified regulation as their top concern, compared with 8% across the country. That gap reflects the extensive administrative work attached to your daily operations, and the greater risk of consequences that California business owners face if they don't manage the legal aspects of their business very carefully. If you have questions or concerns, contact IGC for help.

Contractor status can shift as a role expands. A project hire may later take on set hours, company tools, direct supervision, and work tied to the company’s core service. Those operational changes influence California’s classification analysis, even when the original hiring agreement stays the same.

Payroll software repeats whatever setup it receives, which means an incorrect wage-statement field can reach every pay period and every employee who receives that statement. PAGA allows eligible employees to pursue civil penalties for Labor Code violations, so a repeated setup error can create significant financial consequences. The good news is that recent reforms have created cure procedures for certain employers, with specific eligibility rules and deadlines.

Our blog explains why payroll configuration should be nailed down before the first hire.
