G'day, my name is Michele! I work with startups, entrepreneurs and small/medium-sized businesses across the country in a wide array of industries. I help them with all of their ongoing, daily legal needs. This includes entity formation, M&A, contract drafting and review, employment, asset sale & acquisition, and business sales or shareholder exits. I'm half-Australian, half-Italian, and I've lived the last 20+ years of my life in America. I've lived all over the USA, completing high school in the deep south, graduating cum laude from Washington University in St. Louis, and then cum laude from Georgetown University Law Center. After law school I worked for the Los Angeles office of Latham & Watkins, LLP. After four intense and rewarding years there, I left to become General Counsel and VP of an incredible, industry-changing start-up called Urban Mining Company (UMC) that manufactures rare earth permanent magnets. I now work for Phocus Law where I help run our practice focused on entrepreneurs, startups, and SMEs. I love what I do, and I'd love to be of help! My focus is on providing stress-free, enjoyable, and high-quality legal service to all of my clients. Being a good lawyer isn't enough: the client experience should also be great. But work isn't everything, and I love my free time. I've been an avid traveler since my parents put me on a plane to Italy at 9-months old. I'm also a music nut, and am still looking for that perfect client that will engage me to explain why Dark Side Of The Moon is the greatest album of all time. Having grown up in a remote, and gorgeous corner of Australia, I feel a strong connection to nature, and love being in the elements.

Employment Legal Questions and Answers

Employment

Termination Letter

Arizona

Asked on Aug 28, 2025

Can I dispute the termination mentioned in my termination letter?

I recently received a termination letter from my employer stating that I am being let go due to alleged poor performance, but I strongly believe that this decision is unjustified and unfair. Throughout my employment, I consistently met or exceeded performance expectations and received positive feedback from both colleagues and clients. I would like to know if I have any grounds to dispute this termination and potentially seek legal recourse to protect my rights and reputation.

Richard C.

Answered Sep 5, 2025

You can reach out to the employer and contest the termination, citing what you’ve mentioned above. If discrimination is a possibility of why you were terminated, you may want to consider an EEOC complaint (note time is an important factor here). However, a demand letter may be the best first step to try and reach a satisfactory resolution for all parties.

Employee Contract

Texas

Asked on Jul 15, 2023

What are the worst states to hire 1099 independent contractors from because the state will likely classify as an employee?

I'm starting a 1099 remote-based staffing service and I want to stay away from hiring independent contractors with primary residency in states that are unfriendly toward their hiring. I don't want any misclassification issues so I want to stay away from those states altogether.

Merry K.

Answered Aug 13, 2023

I'm a Washington State attorney and my answer does not constitute legal advice, and no attorney/client relationship has been formed. If the person working for you will be working remotely from his or her state, the employment law of that state will govern whether the person will be considered an employee or indepedent contractor. Regardless of where that person works, what will be most important is how your contract with that person is written, and how much you try to control the person's work hours, duties, and so forth. Speaking generally, an independent contractor should be given certain work, and a dealine and expectations, and be allowed to work at 2:00 a.m. or 2:00 p.m. and report amount of time worked, such as 8/13/23 1.6 hours. If you have set times for work, such as 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, a court will be more likely to find that the person is an employee, not an independent contractor. If you will be using a person to work in another state, I highly recommend that you consult with an employment attorney in that state to review any paperwork you use, such as an employment contract or work contract with an independent contractor. You can find such attorneys through "lawyer referral" through the state bar association in most states, or you can try finding employment attorneys through this national organization: NELA.org Although the analysis of an employee's/independent contractor will vary from state to state, here are two articles from the US Department of Labor that may provide some general guidance to you. https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/flsa/misclassification and https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/fact-sheets/13-flsa-employment-relationship I hope that I have been of help. I am an employment attorney in Washington State, and can review documents for Washington State but generally do not do any document drafting.

Noncompete Agreement

Connecticut

Asked on Aug 1, 2023

Noncompete agreement and change of control?

I recently accepted a new position with a company that has requested that I sign a noncompete agreement. I understand the agreement and the limitations it puts on me, but I am concerned about how the agreement would be affected if the company is sold or changes ownership in the future. I would like to understand my legal rights in the event of a change of control.

Thomas L.

Answered Aug 4, 2023

If the future company buys the equity of your current employer, the Non-Compete continues in effect. If the future company buys the assets, the Non-Compete is terminated. I would request a sentence be added to the effect that "if there is a change of control of the Company (meaning more than 50% of the equity interest or 50% of the voting equity control) is sold or transferred, then this Non-Compete Agreement is terminated.

Contract for Employment

New York

Asked on Nov 22, 2024

Can I hire employees without a written employment contract?

I am a small business owner in the retail industry, and I am considering hiring employees to help me with the day-to-day operations of my store. While I understand the importance of having a written contract to establish the terms and conditions of employment, I am wondering if it is legally acceptable to hire employees without a written employment contract in place. I want to ensure that I am compliant with employment laws and protect both my business and the employees, but I am unsure if a written contract is necessary in this situation.

Danny J.

Answered Dec 22, 2024

While it's legally possible to hire employees without a written employment contract in most states, there are important considerations to keep in mind: 1. At-will employment: Most employment relationships in the U.S. are presumed to be "at-will," meaning either party can terminate the relationship with or without cause or notice. 2. State-specific requirements: Some states, like New York, require written notification of certain employment terms at the time of hiring. 3. Legal protections: A written contract can provide clarity and protection for both the employer and employee, defining terms such as job responsibilities, compensation, and grounds for termination. 4. Industry standards: For certain positions, especially high-level executives, written contracts are more common and often expected. 5. Compliance risks: Without a written contract, you may face challenges in proving compliance with labor laws or defending against potential claims. Given the complexities of employment law and the potential risks involved, it would be prudent to have a thorough legal review of your hiring practices. As an experienced employment law attorney, I could: 1. Assess your specific situation and industry requirements 2. Advise on the pros and cons of using written contracts for your business 3. Develop compliant hiring procedures and documentation 4. Ensure you're meeting all state and federal employment law requirements Would you like to discuss how we can create a legally sound hiring process that protects your business while remaining flexible for your needs?

Physician Employment Agreement

North Carolina

Asked on Aug 8, 2023

Key terms in physician employment agreements?

I am a physician who is considering a job opportunity at a hospital, and I am in the process of negotiating employment terms. I am interested in understanding the key terms that should be included in a physician employment agreement so that I can make the best decisions for my career.

N'kia N.

Answered Sep 24, 2023

Generally, a physician employment agreement contains most of the same terms as any other employment agreement. However, some of the terms must be tailored to the role. Additionally, the agreement may contain terms that are specific to the physician role. Below are some key terms in physician employment agreements: License and Continuing Education - By law, to be a physician, an individual must obtain a professional license and then must earn continuing education credits to retain the license. Most physician employment agreements address these requirements, including such factors as whether the employer or the employee is responsible for the costs associated with compliance. Privacy and Confidentiality - Physicians have more privacy and confidentiality obligations than the typical employee. For example, a physician must comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ("HIPAA"). Physician employment agreements commonly address standards regarding patients' information, as well as the employers' proprietary information. Special Restrictions - Due to the nature of the physician role, employers might prohibit their physician employees from providing physician services elsewhere ("non-competition agreement"). Also, some might prohibit their physician employees from soliciting patients to receive physician services elsewhere ("non-solicitation agreement").   Special considerations - Further, as applicable, physician employment agreements will detail any special considerations for the role, such as stock options, relative value unit ("RVU") expectations, or volunteering, teaching, or scholarship requirements.
