Employment law attorneys play an important role for anyone managing a business, no matter how big or small it is. Here are some of the situations that should make you book a consultation with an employment law attorney as soon as possible.

## Items

### 1. [You need employment contracts](https://listium.com/@chauvellaw/75517/top-3-reasons-to-contact-an-employment-law-attorney/0/you-need-employment-contracts)

Item ID: `0`

- Notes:
  > Employment contracts will iron out the details of your business’s relationship with its employees. As such, it plays a big role in keeping employees happy, making sure essential work is done, preventing the competition from poaching workers from you, and more.
  > 
  > If you’re looking to expand your staff, it’s a good idea to sit down with an employment law attorney to figure out which clauses to make standard across your employment contracts.
  > 
  > It’s also a good idea to have an attorney review the terms of your current employee contracts, especially around the time they are up for renewal.

### 2. [Review your employee handbook](https://listium.com/@chauvellaw/75517/top-3-reasons-to-contact-an-employment-law-attorney/1/review-your-employee-handbook)

Item ID: `1`

- Notes:
  > Employee handbooks are more important than many people realize. There is a lot of safety and legal information that must be included in those handbooks, and failing to comply with local handbook regulations can lead to fines and other legal repercussions. That is a problem in general, and it becomes an even bigger issue when considering that handbook rules change frequently.
  > 
  > You should talk to an attorney when putting together an employee handbook. And it is also wise to have it reviewed by an attorney once a year.

### 3. [Someone is threatening to sue](https://listium.com/@chauvellaw/75517/top-3-reasons-to-contact-an-employment-law-attorney/2/someone-is-threatening-to-sue)

Item ID: `2`

- Notes: If an employee has expressed a desire to sue the company due to executive compensation disagreements, worker’s rights violations, or any other issue, you should reach out to a law firm for a consultation. As the \[Chauvel & Glatt, LLP website\](https://www.chauvellaw.com/our-services/employment-law/) showcases, there are plenty of law firms out there that specialize in employment law, and getting one involved early can help you prepare for a potential lawsuit.
