Employment Law Columbus Ohio​

Picture
Growing your business or non-profit is an exciting time! But growth can also mean growing pains. And chances are you didn't become a serious entrepreneur because your passion was in human resources (unless your business is to provide HR services). Building the right team to grow your vision brings its own legal issues.

Traditional Hourly Rates

Where flat fees don't make sense, the Firm works on the traditional retainer basis. For general business needs, the Firm requires a replenishing retainer of $2,000/$1,000. The Firm bills at the hourly rate of $275 per hour for all attorney time and $125 per hour for all paralegal/law clerk time. The Firm bills in tenths of an hour increments. The Firm may from time to time require a larger retainer or replenishment in anticipation of significant work that the Firm reasonably believes cannot be covered by the standard retainer amount.
