I love this work!

In Milford, the firm spent hours advising a client how to deal with a business partner who doesn’t even belong in the business. There are indicia of shadiness that will need to be investigated and possibly addressed through litigation.

In Seymour, feuding business partners are approaching a reasoned solution through a business sale/purchase agreement. It can help to have attorneys who aren’t emotionally enmeshed in the business dispute.
In Bridgeport, work continues on the purchase/sale of a gas station and convenience store. Several contracts need to be approved for assignment.
One of the firm’s clients is caught up in allegations of trademark infringement. The firm is helping with a rebranding effort.
Another client has been accused of copyright infringement. An offer of judgment seems to have taken the complainant aback; dead silence from them this week.

If anyone’s interested, the firm has drafted an opinion whether wind chimes may be an actionable nuisance.
The firm drafted a severance agreement for a long-time client.
While prejudgment remedies are a favorable feature of Connecticut law for plaintiffs, big firms shouldn’t be overeager to rush into New Haven Superior Court to get one, when the clear contractual language elects that court as the last resort for consensual jurisdiction.
A client spent this past week observing operations at the business he wants to purchase, and will make a decision Monday.
Appeared in Hartford Superior Court to help with the disposition of a stipulated judgment in a collections case.
Opposing counsel in Bridgeport Superior Court wants the firm to coordinate the deposition of someone who’s not a client and not employed by a client. Unsure why?
