   In the current “Me-Too” climate, there is no question that an integral part of any ethics and compliance program is a complete understanding of your workplace.  That understanding includes what happens on a day-to-day basis, often in the absence of oversight.  When confronted with allegations of wrongdoing, an effective internal compliance program requires a thorough, unbiased workplace investigation.  

  Regardless of the measures of caution employed, at some point, your business will face allegations of misconduct and wrongdoing.  The benefits of an effective internal investigation utilizing skilled outside counsel include liability mitigation, risk management, avoidance of disruption and delays in productivity, the protection of confidential information, and the credibility in outcome afforded by objectivity and impartiality.

   Attorney Franklin has performed workplace investigations and audits for Fortune 500 companies, small businesses, educational institutions, and governmental entities and agencies.  With that experience comes insight, understanding, and the resolve to find not only the truth, but achieve your optimal outcome.  

  The cornerstone of every transaction, business or personal, is a well-crafted written agreement.  The terms of any business interaction are crucial, and must be concisely stated to protect the intent and interests of the parties.  

   Our approach in drafting contracts is multifaceted.  First, the full spectrum of agreed upon terms must be clearly and concisely stated.  Next, the terms must be assessed to identify and, where necessary, diminish or preclude areas of risk.  Finally, our process analyzes agreements to ensure balance in the specified terms.  This last stage is important to not only protect your business relationships, but also to promote favorable judicial interpretation should your contract be challenged in court or arbitration.

   We draft, review, assess, negotiate, and assist in the enforcement of, single transaction agreements as well as templates utilized for routine, recurring transactions.  Our services in the area of contracts and commercial transactions include:
