What Westchester Business Owners Should Know

Westchester County's business community includes professional practices, healthcare operations, retail businesses, and service companies in established commercial centers like White Plains, Yonkers, and New Rochelle. Many Westchester businesses also serve clients in New York City, creating cross-jurisdictional legal considerations.

Westchester LLCs must publish in two newspapers designated by the Westchester County Clerk. The publication requirement applies within 120 days of formation and affects the LLC's ability to bring or defend lawsuits. Our firm handles the process and ensures compliance.

Westchester businesses with employees should be aware that New York's employment laws, including paid family leave, wage transparency requirements, and non-compete restrictions, apply statewide. Our firm advises on employment law compliance as part of our business law practice.
