For entrepreneurs, legal woes should be the least of their worries. But for many of them, without proper guidance these issues can be a daunting — and expensive — threat to their businesses. Luckily, Inc.’s Power Partners are well-known for helping companies navigate a tricky legal climate. For example, the Chicago law firm Meltzer Hellrung helps companies with specialized immigration solutions and offers guidance on immigration law and policy. Hoffman Estates, Illinois-based enterprise software company Vistex found Meltzer Hellrung’s Voyager platform, which helps track clients’ immigration cases, particularly helpful. A spokesperson for the company says it “allows for management of employee and company data in one place.” It also provides a “library of collateral material that we can download and share with our foreign nationals,” the spokesperson says, helping the company navigate the immigration landscape. For corporate law needs, firms such as Middletown, Delaware-based Agile Legal and Newport Beach, California-based Chatow have helped smaller-scale private companies navigate contracts, patents, and other business issues. Digicert, a Lehi, Utah-based digital security company, says Agile Legal has become an “extension of [our] team and true partners to us in our projects.” Governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) is essential for many businesses to avoid potential consequences like audits. GRC provider Scrut Automation, based in Milpitas, California, helped San Diego-based travel company Balboa Travels with both automated and manual data collection.
