Purpose: This project requires you to identify and assess legal issues, apply the law to the facts and make recommendations. This project will guide you in preparing a PowerPoint presentation. (11 slides). USE ONLY REFERENCES PROVIDED BELOW’ and consider using words in red This project meets the following course outcomes: · recommend appropriate actions in the business environment based on an understanding of sources of law, substantive legal concepts, legal process and procedure, and available remedies; and · analyze tort rights, obligations, liabilities, and remedies in the business environment. Background/Facts: TLG is continuing to work with its new client, Viral Clean (Clean), a commercial cleaning company incorporated in Maryland, but doing business in all Mid-Atlantic states. Clean's owners have primary concerns about negligence risks and liabilities related to potential accidents occurring in their public business space to employees and/or customers. Clean is headquartered in commercial space in a local shopping center. This is a public space that includes private business offices, a public reception area, a conference meeting area, and space for potential and existing clients to meet to discuss cleaning jobs, buy cleaning products, and complete contracts for cleaning services. The shopping center is busy and heavily trafficked with shoppers. Winnie and Ralph request that you research and recommend a plan to identify potential negligence risks/liabilities and ways to minimize those potential negligence risks in Clean's public facility. You will then make a PowerPoint supported presentation to the Clean owners. The Clean owners will use the plan to refine policies and procedures to prevent and/or minimize their liabilities. Instructions Prepare a PowerPoint (PPT) presentation to: (1) develop a plan to identify and explain potential negligence risks/liabilities, and (2) recommend ways to minimize those potential negligence risks in Clean's public facility. (3) The plan focuses on potential tort liabilities for negligence (do not discuss or include the tort of strict product liability in this project). The PowerPoint presentation will be labeled in 2 parts: Only PPT slides required, and it is important to be complete and comprehensive in the presentation. Use only the assigned resources available in the classroom for the project. Formatting · An opening slide with your name, class name and number and date of submission · An Introductory slide is always appropriate and appreciated · A Summary or Conclusion slide is also appropriate · The Speaker Notes on a final slide titled “Resources” should reflect the full APA citation of all resources. (Note: There should be an in-text citation in the Speaker Notes narrative wherever a supportive resource is referenced.) · Using PowerPoint slides, create two (2) distinct parts of your presentation: 1. Identify and explain 3 different specific situations that could create negligence risks/liabilities for Clean in its public facility. Explain why/how each situation creates possible negligence liability · Part I. Risks and Liabilities A. Negligence Risk Situation 1 B. Negligence Risk Situation 2 C. Negligence Risk Situation 3 2. Develop and explain policies and/or procedures Clean could implement to prevent or minimize the negligence risk/liability for each situation discussed in 1 above. · Part II. Policies and Procedures 1. Policy/Procedure for Negligence Risk Situation 1 2. Policy/Procedure for Negligence Risk Situation 2 3. Policy/Procedure for Negligence Risk Situation 3 Remember you are the “presenter” and, as such, you will be reading your Speaker Notes the same way you would a presentation paper. (The “narrative”, which is a clear, complete explanation of the content and points you are making, goes in the Speaker Notes). The Clean owners (audience) will be looking at the slides which should include highlights and illustrations of your comments for that slide. The slide content should align with the narrative in the Speaker Notes. (See the attached PowerPoint sample.) Sample PowerPoint Slide · HINT: Many presenters will compose their presentation first, then divide it into the PowerPoint slide format by placing the narrative on the Speaker Notes area of each slide and using the slide itself to underscore important points. · Alternatively, some presenters create an outline of their presentation, then paste elements of the outline onto the PowerPoint slides. They then compose the narrative in the Speaker Notes to describe and expound on the slide. ______________________________________ Review the PowerPoint Thoroughly read the presentation to ensure all required elements are present. Use the grading rubric to ensure that you gain the most points possible for this assignment. Proofread for spelling and grammatical issues, and to ensure writing is in the third grammatical person · Read the PowerPoint presentation aloud as a first measure; · Use the spell and grammar check in PowerPoint; · Have someone who has excellent English skills proof the presentation and read it aloud to you.

The focus of the course is to identify and examine legal risks and liabilities in operating a business and explore how to minimize and resolve problems associated with risks and liabilities. The BMGT 380 course comprises five (5) legal themes, including an overview of the legal system, business organizational structures, torts, product liability, contracts, and agency law. _________________________________________________________________________ The BMGT 380 course focuses on the story of a company, The Largo Group (TLG), a business consulting and research company based in Maryland that advises and conducts research for potential owners considering startup businesses and for owners operating new companies. You and your classmates will be active participants throughout the story, acting as consultant-employees of TLG assigned to complete consulting-related and/or research assignments and projects for TLG clients. Your TLG assignments begin with an overview of the legal system, important background for business owners. Other TLG assignments will concentrate on four (4) categories of business law principles that present significant risks and liabilities for startup businesses: (1) tort law, including negligence, premises liability, and product liability, (2) contract law, including the Uniform Commercial Code sales and e-contracts, (3) agency law, and (4) business organizational structures, sometimes called business forms. Starting a new business requires extensive preparation, market research, and examination of the legal environment of business. The success of startups and new companies requires identifying the nature and scope of legal risks and liabilities that affect business practices and decisions. Exploring ways to prevent, minimize, and resolve risks and liabilities is also essential in forming and operating a business. The primary focus for the 380 course and assignments for TLG clients will center on the question: How can a business owner identify and minimize legal risks and liabilities associated with operating a business? ____________________________________________________________ Background: The Largo Group (TLG) After graduating with a B.S. in Management, you have been working for TLG for three years as an assistant consultant for Winnie James and Ralph Anders, senior consultants who serve clients in various industries. Your work involves interviewing and meeting with clients, conducting research, writing office memoranda, making recommendations for clients, meeting with Winnie, Ralph, and with attorney-consultants, and coordinating and/or leading discussions for TLG's in-house professional development seminars for its consultants. Background: The Formation of Viral Clean Connor, Denise, Larisa, and Sam are all successful business owners who are friends or professional acquaintances in the business community. Connor is a Marine veteran that operates his own small company. Denise has been the Vice-President and Director of Marketing for a Mid-Atlantic-based carpet cleaning company with franchises on the East Coast. Larisa owns a mid-sized, successful residential remodeling business. Sam owns a residential cleaning service business. The four recently attended a Chamber of Commerce presentation about businesses that clean and sanitize buildings to prevent the spread of the COVD-19 virus. This spurred their interest, and they went to dinner following the Chamber event to discuss possible business opportunities. After several meetings, they decided to start a business together. The business would focus on using the latest technology to clean and sanitize commercial and residential structures against dangerous viruses. They also decided that the business would be a retail and wholesale distributor for cleaning and antiviral solutions and personal protective equipment. They agreed to pursue the possibility of launching a Maryland-based business that they would like to name Viral Clean ("Clean"). They are committed to operating the new business as an environmentally responsible company using only chemical-free cleaning products in the new business. The four met several times with a business consultant to analyze market trends and demands in the cleaning industry and confirm whether Clean would likely be a viable business. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the market analysis showed an increased demand and need for this type of business. Consequently, the group decided to move forward with their idea to establish and market Clean. The group plans to purchase PPE and cleaning supplies from Environmental Pro, Inc. (EPI), a mid-sized manufacturer incorporated in a nearby state, that produces chemical-free, environmentally-friendly cleaning products. The four are familiar with the corporation as each has purchased EPI products for their respective current businesses. The four friends intend to resell certain EPI products directly to Clean clients. The Clean group plans to market and advertise its services and resell EPI products through print, television, radio, internet, and social media. Clean will be headquartered in a local shopping center. Clean headquarters will include private business management offices, a reception area, and conference meeting and planning space. Potential and existing customers will be invited to discuss proposals to purchase cleaning products and services. The business space will also be open to the public to acquire PPE, collect information, inquire about cleaning and sanitizing services, examine cleaning supply displays, and view photos and exhibits from ongoing and past commercial jobs. The potential Cleaner owners recently attended a startup business seminar sponsored by the local chapter of the Small Business Administration. Following the seminar, the owners began to define the nature and scope of the work necessary to prepare a plan for the startup business. They realize this process requires time, thoughtful analysis
