Employment + HR Risk Assessment Package

Protect Your Business as Your Team Grows

As your team grows, your employment documents need to grow with you. Outdated agreements, missing protections, inconsistent policies and worker classification issues can create unnecessary risk - especially as you hire across states, add contractors or prepare for fundraising, M&A or continued growth.

Meyer Law's Employment + HR Risk Assessment gives you an attorney-led review of three of the most important documents supporting your workforce: your Employment Agreement or Employee Offer Letter and Non-Disclosure Agreement, Independent Contractor Agreement and Employee Handbook.

We'll identify potential gaps, outdated provisions and areas of risk and give you practical, prioritized recommendations for strengthening your employment legal foundation.

Who This Assessment Is For

This assessment is a great fit for companies that:

• Have employees and independent contractors
• Haven't had their employment documents reviewed recently
• Are growing their team or hiring in new states
• Use employment or contractor agreements that may be outdated or incomplete
• Have an employee handbook that hasn't kept pace with changes in the business or workforce
• Want to make sure confidentiality and intellectual property protections are appropriately addressed
• Have questions about employee versus independent contractor classification
• Are preparing for fundraising, M&A or another diligence process
• Want to identify employment-law gaps before they become bigger problems

What's Included

30-Minute Employment Strategy Consultation
We'll discuss your workforce structure, employee locations, contractor relationships, hiring practices and any known areas of concern so we have the context needed for our review.

Employment Agreement or Employee Offer Letter and NDA Review
We'll review your company's standard employment agreement or offer letter and NDA and identify potential issues or areas for improvement. Depending on the agreement, our review may include provisions relating to:

• Employment terms
• Confidentiality
• Intellectual property ownership
• Restrictive covenants
• Compensation-related provisions
• Termination
• Other material employment terms

Independent Contractor Agreement Review
We'll review your company's standard contractor agreement, including issues relating to:

• Independent contractor status and classification
• Scope and payment provisions
• Confidentiality
• Intellectual property and work-product ownership
• Representations and obligations
• Termination
• Other material contractor terms

Employee Handbook Review
We'll review your employee handbook to identify potential gaps, outdated provisions and material employment-law considerations based on the information you provide about your workforce and employee locations.

Our review may include areas such as:

• Equal employment opportunity and anti-harassment policies
• Leave and time-off policies
• Wage and hour considerations
• Workplace conduct
• Remote work and technology policies
• Confidentiality
• Complaint and reporting procedures
• State-specific considerations
• Other policies relevant to your workforce

Up to 5 Hours of Attorney Review
The package includes up to five hours of attorney document review across your Employment Agreement, Independent Contractor Agreement and Employee Handbook.

If the length, complexity or multi-state nature of your documents requires additional review, we'll let you know before performing work outside the package scope.

30-Minute Findings Consultation
We'll walk you through our findings, explain why they matter, answer your questions and discuss recommended next steps. If you would like to implement any of our requested changes and recommendations, we can provide an estimate to do so.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the assessment include revising our documents?

No. This package focuses on identifying potential issues and providing recommendations. If your Employment Agreement or Employee Offer Letter and NDA, Contractor Agreement or Employee Handbook should be revised or replaced, Meyer Law can separately scope that work for you.

What if we don't have one of the three documents?

That's useful information too. We'll identify missing documentation as part of the assessment and can recommend what should be put in place. The package price does not include drafting a replacement document.

Does this include an analysis of employee versus independent contractor classification?

We'll identify potential classification concerns that become apparent based on the information and documents provided. A detailed classification analysis involving specific workers, jurisdictions or factual circumstances may require additional work.

What if we have employees in multiple states?

We'll consider material state-specific issues based on the employee locations you identify. Companies with employees across numerous jurisdictions or requiring extensive state-by-state analysis may require additional review beyond the standard package.

Can we send multiple versions of our Employment or Contractor Agreements?

The package is designed to review one standard Employment Agreement or Employee Offer Letter and NDA, one standard Independent Contractor Agreement and one Employee Handbook. Additional versions or documents can be reviewed separately.

Does this include active employee disputes or claims?

No. Existing or threatened claims, investigations, terminations and other active employment matters require separate legal analysis and are outside the scope of this assessment.

What happens if the review requires more than five hours?

We'll prioritize the three included documents within the available review time. If additional review is appropriate, we'll let you know before performing work that would result in additional fees.

How long does it take?

Most assessments are completed within 1–3 weeks after the initial consultation and receipt of the documents and information we need.
