Compliance with AB-5

Ensuring Peace of Mind for California Attorneys

At Lawfecta, we prioritize compliance with all relevant laws and regulations to provide our clients with peace of mind and minimize legal risks. This includes ensuring that all California paralegals working with us are classified as W-2 employees, in strict adherence to Assembly Bill 5 (AB-5).

Understanding AB-5 and Its Implications

The following is for informational purposes only and should not be taken as legal direction noradvice. Consult with a licensed legal attorney for legal advice.

Under AB-5, companies operating in California must adhere to strict guidelines when classifying workers as independent contractors. Failure to comply with AB-5 regulations can result in significant penalties, including fines ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 per violation, as well as additional responsibilities such as covering the worker's share of payroll taxes.

Why It Matters for Attorneys

By partnering with Lawfecta, attorneys can rest assured that they are not exposed to the risks associated with misclassification of paralegals. Our commitment to employing California W-2 paralegals eliminates the possibility of fines and penalties under AB-5, safeguarding our clients from legal liabilities and financial burdens.
