Start with the work your team needs to cover.

Make the next hire part of a plan

A job title tells only part of the story. Where will the person work? How will the schedule fit with the rest of the team? Foundry helps employers review hiring terms and the policies staff use each day. In Everett, city labor rules also deserve a check. Bring your staffing plan and current documents. We can discuss what needs review before you make the next offer.

Legal services for Everett employers and owners

Hiring papers set out what a role involves. Customer contracts define the work that keeps your team busy. Foundry can help with both. We also help you form a company or plan for a change in who owns it.

Build Your Company

While business support and intellectual property protection often take companies to two separate firms, Foundry offers both service areas in-house. We see your initial business foundation and your asset protection as part of your company’s larger story, and our model integrates the two accordingly. Our dual capacity and holistic approach ensure your big-picture legal plan is cohesive, sustainable, and aligned with your vision for your business.

Check Everett’s rules as your team grows

Everett has its own labor standards, including local minimum-pay rules for covered employers. The rules group employers by size and other factors. A small team at one site may not give the full picture. Gather your staff count and where they work before you check the city guidance. Avoid setting a pay rate from an old job posting.

There is also a rule about extra hours. Covered employers must first offer added hours to qualified current staff. The rule covers new hires and subcontractors, including temp staff. An offer is not required if it would mean overtime or other premium pay. Check the full rule before you fill a shift. Bring your current schedule to the discussion so the review starts with the work you need done.

The business side has separate city tasks too. Everett’s city license and tax filings are distinct from state filings. The city updated some business tax classes in 2026. If your work has changed, ask your accountant to check the right class and filing schedule. Keep your company name consistent across the account and the contracts you sign.

I’ve witnessed first hand, as Foundry’s Of Counsel Patent Attorney, to see how well she serves her clients. She and her team are world class.”

A useful policy has to fit the way you run the business. Tell us how work is assigned and which questions keep coming up. We can discuss a review of your hiring documents or handbook. Your project proposal will state the work and fees. Foundry offers flat fees for most services.
