Not Knowing the Law Can Break Your Business
There is an old saying in the law that ignorance of the law is not a defense. In other words, once a legal matter arises in your business, “I didn’t know that was a law” will not remove your liability.
Unfortunately, there are a ton of laws out there. Even though you don’t know what you don’t know, a Court of Law will still hold you responsible.
