Kastner Kim

We provide a broad range of services to businesses around the world, including advice on human resources audits and employee classification reviews, as well as the necessary steps when downsizing. We have a comprehensive understanding of the rules governing the designation of a worker as an employee or an independent contractor/consultant, as well... as your rights and responsibilities with respect to each classification. We will work closely with you to help you determine the status of any workers currently on your payroll, and we can help you put policies and measures in place to minimize the risk that workers will be improperly classified. We currently represent a large multi-national company that requested an employee classification audit to minimize exposure to employment litigation. We advise businesses involved in Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) investigations, handling cases where the SEC has questioned the validity of a transaction, such as the transfer or issuance of shares of stock. Our San Jose intellectual property licensing lawyers advise local and global businesses on issues such as IP licensing and distribution, and we can prepare or negotiate IP licensing and distribution agreements. Kastner Kim's attorneys have more than 150 years of combined legal training and experience. Since 2009, we have been providing comprehensive and confidential counsel to international corporations and business owners. Our law office is located in Palo Alto, but our clients are located throughout the U.S., as well as China, India, France, Germany, Korea and other countries around the world.Read More
