At Banyan Legal Counsel, our philosophy begins with our name. The banyan tree grows and endures for centuries, providing shelter, healing remedies, and a space for gathering in many communities. People from all walks of life come together under its large and verdant canopy to share experiences and stories, and come away with greater knowledge of themselves and their community and the wisdom that comes with truly understanding the different perspectives of the world around them. This powerful symbol of strength and community is what we aspire to at Banyan Legal Counsel. We are committed to helping businesses, business owners, entrepreneurs, and employees grow and thrive. We have a special interest in working with women and minorities, businesses with a social purpose, underrepresented communities, and nonprofits. We believe that the most successful and sustainable businesses care about their people and purpose as much as their bottom line. We have worked with companies, employers, and their workers and believe that our unique perspective allows us to more effectively help our clients plan for the future, manage business relationships, and avoid legal disputes. We assist clients with business planning, entity formation, negotiating, reviewing, and drafting employment agreements and other types of contracts, creating workplace policies, pre-litigation advice and counseling, and internal audits.
