Hybrid of Business Law and Contract Law

Corporate Compliance Services

At Twisdale Law, PC, we help businesses across North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee stay compliant with state and federal requirements. Corporate compliance is not just paperwork. It is how your company protects itself against lawsuits, fines, and disputes with shareholders, employees, or regulators.

Why Compliance Matters

Every business entity, whether an LLC, corporation, or professional corporation, must follow specific rules set by state law. In North Carolina, for example, the North Carolina Business Corporation Act (N.C. Gen. Stat. § 55-1-01 et seq.) sets out the obligations of corporations, including recordkeeping and shareholder notices. Tennessee and South Carolina have similar statutes (Tenn. Code Ann. § 48-11-101 et seq. and S.C. Code Ann. § 33-1-101 et seq.). Failure to comply can result in penalties, personal liability for directors, or even the loss of your company’s charter.

Comprehensive Corporate Compliance Services

  • Regulatory Compliance: We guide businesses through federal regulations such as the Securities Exchange Act, Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA, 29 U.S.C. § 201 et seq.), and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA, 42 U.S.C. § 12101 et seq.). For healthcare and technology companies, we also advise on sector-specific laws such as HIPAA and COPPA.

  • Corporate Governance: We assist boards of directors with drafting bylaws, preparing annual meeting minutes, and keeping proper records. These steps may seem simple, but courts have held that weak governance can pierce the corporate veil and expose owners personally to lawsuits.

  • Internal Policies & Procedures: Employee handbooks, conflict of interest policies, and data privacy policies not only protect your business but also show regulators and courts that you are serious about compliance.

  • Employment Compliance: Ensuring businesses comply with labor laws, workplace policies, and employment agreements.

  • Contract Review & Risk Assessment: We review contracts to identify hidden liabilities such as indemnification clauses, automatic renewal provisions, or jurisdiction requirements that could put your business at risk.

  • Ethics & Anti-Corruption Compliance: Advising on compliance with anti-bribery and corruption laws, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA).

  • Annual Filings & Reporting: Assisting with required corporate filings, licensing renewals, and compliance audits.

Common Mistakes We Help Prevent

2. Not holding or recording annual shareholder or member meetings.

3. Mixing personal and business finances, risking veil piercing.
