First Fridays Speaker Series: Best Practices to Protect Your Business

Join us for a roundtable discussion on how to mitigate risk in your business.  The roundtable will focus on how to protect your business and what risk factors to look out for, including complying with NYS and federal laws about business formation, employees and independent contractors, continuing COVID-19 risks and compliance, and garden-variety risks inherent in any contract you sign and any location where you do business. What’s the best way to reduce – or possibly even eliminate – these risks? We’ll show you what to do!
