A Detroit Business Law Attorney's Advice
We know business law in Detroit
When you are looking for a law firm to depend upon, you need one that not only has a general familiarity with the law, but has knowledge specific to your case and locale as well. Only then can you be assured that the legal services you receive will benefit your business in the best possible way.
A few important Michigan business laws
Campbell, O'Brien & Mistele, P.C. has spent over 50 years acquiring and utilizing facts about business laws. The following are some which you may wish to review:
- The Michigan Collection Practices Act (MCPA). Debt collection can be an aggravating ordeal to every business owner. However, at times, it is a necessary part of working life. When attempting to collect monies owed by consumers, be sure to seek out Detroit business law firms familiar with the MCPA. According to this act, consumers have certain rights that cannot be violated during the debt collection process. To do so may mean giving up your right to financial recovery, and even becoming the victim of a lawsuit by the consumer.
- The Michigan Auto Lemon Law. If you sell a car to a consumer, or purchase a vehicle yourself for business purposes, the lemon law contains important information that you need to know. If the purchased (or leased) vehicle is defective, you or the consumer may be entitled to a replacement, or a refund of the purchase price of the vehicle.
Tips from our Detroit business law attorney
The following tips, gathered from our many years of experience, may assist you in running your Detroit business smoothly and efficiently:
- Tip #1: Know your legal obligations and benefits. Fierce competition exists in our city, especially in areas such as tourism and manufacturing. If you are planning to start a business in either of these industries, be sure to choose the right type of organization. There are different tax implications and liabilities depending upon the one that you choose, such as an S corporation, sole proprietorship, or joint venture, and your attorney can help make you aware of how the law affects your business.
- Tip #2: Know the right way to terminate employees. Unemployment rates are currently up in the Detroit automotive sector. If you are an employer in that sector and are planning to lay off some of your workers, make sure that you do so legally. An attorney can help you avoid the appearance of discriminatory employment practices, such as termination based on federally protected statuses.
