Attorney Philip Siegel, with the Atlanta law firm Hendrick, Phillips, Salzman, and Siegel, is my returning guest for today’s show. If you didn’t know, they specialize in working with construction companies all over the country, and they are who I’ve personally used for many years. To hear Philip's most recent interview on the podcast, check out Episode 248.

In this episode, Philip will be discussing what you need to know about avoiding certain legal landmines. You never know when legal matters may arise, and it's good to know what to avoid and who to call on when you need legal advice, especially when you scale your business, hire more people, and have more potential legal problems.

Stay tuned to hear some great advice from a great labor attorney, and someone I have known for over 20 years!
