Hiring and managing employees is one of the biggest responsibilities a business owner faces. In Atlanta, many small businesses and startups turn to Glenn M. Lyon of MacGregor Lyon for guidance on employment law compliance.

Employment compliance is not just about avoiding lawsuits. It is about creating fair, consistent processes that protect both your business and your employees. Georgia law, combined with federal regulations, governs everything from wage and hour requirements to anti-discrimination rules. Even simple mistakes, such as misclassifying a worker as an independent contractor or failing to follow overtime laws, can result in fines, penalties, or lawsuits.

• Vice President of the Lawyers Club of Atlanta, a leading professional legal organization
• Bar admissions in Georgia, the Supreme Court of Georgia, and the U.S. District Courts

When disputes arise, Glenn helps companies respond effectively, reducing risk and protecting their reputation.
