Legal Question in Consumer Law in California

Re: In state of California

If your son is serious about the enterprise, there are several things he should do. (1) form an entity to avoid personal liability, (2) obtain insurance against claims of consumers, (3) have contracts prepared with manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, etc., (4) ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

There are several other things he should likely do. Not planning ahead, legally, will likely lead to a failure of the business or litigation. There are two things that every business should spend money on: (1) tax and accounting, (2) legal.

Feel free to call or email with any questions. We practice business law out of Southern California, but have handled legal matters throughout California.

I agree with Mr. Harrison, and would add that you need attorney-prepared agreements with any employees and independent contractors, as well. If you do interview or hire employees, then a whole host of employment laws apply and you should seek advice to avoid violating any of them.

You'll need to go through the state and county and municipal govt agencies to find out or hire an attorney to handle this.
