As the holidays approach, many business owners focus on closing out the financial year, but legal readiness is equally important. Now is the time to confirm that your corporate filings are up to date, review major contracts, and ensure that your employment policies reflect any changes in wage and labor law that took effect in 2025.
It’s also wise to revisit ownership structures and succession plans. If your business has changed partners, taken on new investors, or expanded its operations, confirm that your governing documents accurately reflect your current reality. Finally, schedule time with your attorney and accountant together; coordinated planning often identifies issues before they become costly surprises.
The business law team at Pickrel, Schaeffer & Ebeling can guide you through every step of the year-end process, helping you begin the new year strong and compliant.
