Trembly Law Offering Discounted Danger Zone Business Assessments for a Limited Time
The best way for your business to be prepared for 2023 is by working with Trembly Law Firm to assess the risk in five key Danger Zones. Trembly Law recently announced that they will be offering five free Danger Zones Business Assessments to the first five businesses that schedule with them between now and the end of the year. The Firm is also offering heavily discounted assessments to the next 30 businesses that sign up after that, in order to help business owners prepare for 2023. Managing Partner, Christian E. Rodriguez, Esq., and Chief Legal Officer, Elias Correa Menendez, Esq., believe that preparation is key to having a successful and safe business. “Nearly 53% of businesses are sued each year,*” explained Rodriguez. “We’ve seen hundreds of business owners come close to losing what they’ve worked so hard to build due to what could have been easy fixes. At TLF, we want to empower business owners, and that starts with a Danger Zones Assessment.” The “Danger Zones” refers to the top five areas where many employers find themselves vulnerable to unnecessary lawsuits that may negatively impact their business. They are: corporate infrastructure, employment matters, regulatory compliance, contracts and lease agreements, and intellectual property. In 2020 TLF published their book, “The Danger Zones: The Top 5 Risk Areas Employers Don’t Realize Can Put Them Out Of Business (And What To Do About Them)”, which explains each area in order to help increase awareness of these issues. Business owners can download a complimentary copy of the e-book here. After years of helping defend business owners in court, TLF created a tool entrepreneurs could use to help them identify areas of legal exposure: the Danger Zones Diagnostic Assessment. These assessments are normally charged at $2,500.00, but TLF is offering discounts for the first 35 businesses who sign up through December 30, 2022. The discounts for these invaluable assessments are as follows: -The first five (5) businesses that schedule a Danger Zone assessment with us will pay nothing, which is a 100% discount. -The next twenty (20) businesses that schedule a Danger Zone assessment with us will pay $1,000, which is a 50% discount. -The next ten (10) businesses that schedule an assessment will pay $1,500, which is a 25% discount. TLF works closely with clients through the Danger Zones Assessment to help identify potential risks to their businesses. Particularly this time of year, it’s critical to get ahead of any potential issues. Being proactive saves business owners time and money. “This assessment usually proves invaluable when it comes to making sure someone’s business stays protected today and in the future. That’s why we do what we do,” shared Menendez. To book your free Danger Zones Assessment for your business, please fill out the short form here.
