Liability Audits

Businesses today operate in a vast and vastly complex universe of risk. From ever changing regulatory environments, to predatory lawyers, to litigation happy competitors, businesses today face constant legal peril and risk. Is your business properly protected? Are there risks and areas of exposure that can be lessened or mitigated through strategic planning and implementation of best practices or industry norms?

A liability audit, by the experienced business attorneys and professionals at the Byrne Law Group can identify potential areas of legal risk and exposure, and assist you in implementing protections to reduce risk and mitigate exposure.

Liability audits are customized for each business and industry - but the goal of reducing risk is applicable to every business today! Our services can include:

• Employee liability - ensure your employment practices are up to par. Are you fully complying with the various and vast employment laws? Are your hiring practices efficient and non-discriminatory? Do you perform background checks on your new employees, and are the background checks compliant with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and various state versions of it? What interactions do your employees have with the public, and are they potentially jeopardizing the security of your business, trade secrets, or creating legal liability by their statements or actions?
• Supplier liability - can errors made by your suppliers put you into legal jeapordy? What if products you receive from suppliers malfunction, or data is incorrect, or the services are not up to par? Are your supplier agreements comprehensive enough to protect you if something happens?
• Premises liability - Are your buildings and properties secure from break in or damage? Or, are your premises operated in a manner so as to not subject your business to a premises liability lawsuit?
• Insurance - are you properly insured? Is your insurance comprehensive enough for your various types of business? What happens if your insurance is insufficient?
• Asset protection – are your assets properly protected?
• Data Security - is your computer system properly secured? What assurances do you have that your systems are secure? Or what if your systems crash or go down? What about your internet connections, websites and email?

These are just some of the services which may be applicable to your specific business. From data security audits to ensure your data protections comply with federal and state privacy laws, to ensuring compliance with federal laws concerning background checks, the Byrne Law Group can help ensure your business operates with as little liability as possible.
