Honored to attend the James A. Brink Annual Dinner hosted by Lawyers Concerned for Lawyers, Massachusetts! This event was a remarkable gathering, bringing together the Massachusetts legal community to celebrate the progress in supporting lawyers’ mental health, well-being, and professional resilience. It was inspiring to hear from the speakers - Chief Justice Kimberly Budd, Stacey Best, and, Adam Deutsch - connect with colleagues, and reflect on how we can further support each other in managing the unique demands of our profession. Thank you to the dedicated team at LCL and everyone who made this event possible. Let’s continue working to create a culture in our legal community where well-being is prioritized, and assistance is accessible to those in need. #LegalCommunity #MentalHealth #Wellbeing #LawyersConcernedforLawyers #JamesABrinkDinner #StephanieSolvesIt

🏗️ Builder’s Risk Insurance is essential to protecting construction projects from unexpected damage. Many contractors in Massachusetts overlook this vital coverage, leaving projects vulnerable to theft, fire, and natural disasters. Without proper insurance, a single event can result in devastating financial losses. What Builder’s Risk Insurance Covers: 🏢 Damage to the structure during construction (fire, theft, vandalism, weather). 🛠 Coverage for on-site equipment, tools, and materials. 💀 Protection from losses due to vandalism or malicious mischief. 💸 Coverage extensions for soft costs like additional interest and property taxes. 👐🏽 Protection for the contractor, property owner, and lender. #ConstructionLaw #InsuranceCoverage #RiskManagement #StephanieSolvesIt Melick & Porter, LLP

🔒 #Didyouknow Massachusetts law places limitations on the use of non-compete agreements, but they remain an important tool for protecting your business interests. ✍🏽 Employers must carefully draft these agreements to ensure they are enforceable and reasonable in terms of duration and geographic scope. 👎🏽 Failure to comply with state laws can render your non-compete unenforceable. 💡 What to Include in a Non-Compete Agreement: ➡ Clear definitions of protected interests (trade secrets, client relationships, etc.). ➡ Reasonable time limits (typically no more than one year). ➡ Narrow geographic scope to avoid overreach. ➡ Consideration (such as continued employment or compensation) for the employee. ➡ Compliance with Massachusetts non-compete laws, which limit enforceability in certain circumstances (e.g., layoffs). #EmploymentLaw #NonCompeteAgreements #BusinessProtection #StephanieSolvesIt Melick & Porter, LLP
