New York has some of the most employee-protective laws in the country, and some of the most active plaintiffs’ lawyers. For small and mid-sized businesses, a single wage-and-hour or discrimination claim can threaten the company’s finances. Many of these claims could have been prevented with the right policies and records.
Ankaa Law represents employers on both fronts: defending them when claims are brought, and building compliance systems that make future claims less likely and easier to defend.
How we represent employers
- Defense and prevention together. The lessons from every case we defend inform the compliance advice we give, and good compliance is the strongest defense.
- Practical for small businesses. We understand how restaurants, salons, retail stores and family businesses actually operate, and tailor advice to what is realistic.
- Bilingual support. We communicate with owners and managers in English or Chinese, and help prepare the notices New York requires in employees’ primary languages.
