What are the Top Legal Issues Facing Today's Small Businesses?

I am hoping you will provide me with some input.  What do you think are the top legal issues facing small businesses today?

My general sense is that employee/human resource issues rank high.  If you are a small business owner, what keeps you up at night from a legal perspective?  If you are a lawyer or consultant, please add your perspective.

Please comment below.   Don't be shy.  I am hoping to develop some blog posts surrounding this discussion and I would love to hear from you.  If you are not interested in commenting publicly, please feel free to email me at rnigut@sullivan-ward.com.  With your input I should be better able to hone in on the legal issues facing small business owners.

Thanks for reading.  I appreciate it.

I'm sure there are lots of legal issues for those with employees but before even getting there my concern is trying to select the right attorney. There are so many specialties it seems.

Then how do you know you know you have a trusted resource? How can you be sure that the advice you're getting is prudent but not so much that you overspend for legal needs?

How can you start the process of hiring an attorney and determining just how much legal representation you need for your business?

The entire process scares me to death and is compounded by the thought that I might be sitting down with someone whose job it is to let me know just how much there is to be worried about.
