Houston Human Resources Consulting Lawyer

Although employees are the most valuable resources that many businesses have, hiring an employee also creates the potential for significant legal liability for your company. Employers must comply with a myriad of regulations, including fair hiring practices, anti-discrimination laws, wage and hour laws, unemployment laws, worker-safety laws, as well as immigration laws. Failure to comply with any federal, state, or local requirements could result in litigation, fines, and penalties for your business.

While your company may have a human resources department or an in-house HR professional, knowing all of the legal rules and making strategic decisions to minimize risk requires advanced knowledge of the law and how it applies to your company. You need an experienced legal professional to advise you, and that’s where a Houston Human Resources Consulting Lawyer from Monty & Ramirez LLP can help. Our human resources consultants in Greater Houston offer a comprehensive array of services to large and small businesses in Houston, Texas, and throughout the United States.
