Medicare

The Unhappy Intersection of VA and Medicaid Spend-Down

Karl Warden September 19, 2017

Visit almost any assisted living facility and a helpful marketing director will refer you to someone who will help you qualify for VA benefits. This usually means someone selling annuities.

Reputational IP

Z. Peter Sawicki and James L. Young September 13, 2017

As attorneys, we are often cast as protectors and stewards of many things for our clients, including their freedoms, due process rights, contractual rights and property (such as their finances, real property and intellectual property). What about another intangible client attribute – our client’s reputation? It certainly has value worth protecting, in most cases (hopefully). Let’s briefly examine how “reputation”

Negotiating Severance and Noncompete Agreements

Kristen Kraus September 13, 2017

I recently had the opportunity to speak to a group of small business owners about how to avoid common mistakes in dealing with employees, especially when it comes to termination. Although Ohio is an employment-at-will state, there are exceptions to this doctrine such as termination based on race, gender, disability or some other protected characteristic.

Rishi Oza September 13, 2017

Last month, we discussed the current state of the various sectors that make up the real estate markets – retail, office, industrial and apartment. Specifically, we noted that the retail and office markets are clearly lagging a bit in terms of their recovery. Although the office sector has balanced this sluggishness with very limited new construction, the retail sector is

What’s the Damage? Class Actions & Damages Theories

Patrick Brickman September 13, 2017

For class actions, the spotlight usually shines on acts of alleged corporate fraud, government incompetence or bad faith. You can picture the headlines popping up on cable news chyrons – Bank opens accounts in people’s names without their permission, credit card company reorders charges to make sure cardholders overdraft as many times as possible, lender forces inflated charges into purchase

Bringing Telemedicine To The Workplace: What Employers Should Know

Jeff Smith September 13, 2017

The appeal for an employer is that telemedicine services generally reduce benefit costs and increase convenience and access to care for group health plan participants. If you’re like most people, you don’t enjoy sitting in a doctor’s office with other coughing and sneezing people while waiting for your appointment, or wasting half a day just to get a prescription refilled.

Software Or Technical Data Delivered Under A DoD Contract: 10 Useful Tips Concerning IP Rights

Jerry Gabig September 5, 2017

In 2016, Redstone’s Army & Missile Command (AMCOM) spent $13.4 billion. Other large government procuring institutions in Northern Alabama raise the annual federal spending to as much as $40 billion.

Where Do I File My Mass Tort Case?

Dawn Smith September 5, 2017

As I reflect on my recent trip to the birthplace of the American Revolution, Boston, Massachusetts, for the annual American Association for Justice Convention, I can’t help but focus on one thing that I heard an amazing trial lawyer, Greg Cusimano, say during his presentation on juror bias– “Do you think jurors trust you? … Really, are you sure about

An Intro to Collaborative Practice in Family Law

Frances Ross Nolan September 1, 2017

You might find yourself thinking, “What in the world is collaborative about the practice of law?” After all, ours is an adversarial system employing two hired guns in each case to present opposing views to a judge or jury for determination, right? For the vast majority of cases, that is the way things work, but for some lawyers and clients,

Protection By Looking Good

Z. Peter Sawicki and James L. Young August 17, 2017

Ever walk into a store looking for mouthwash and see two choices, both looking alike? One is a national, well-known brand while the other turns out to be a store brand of a national chain. Both bottles have the same shape and same color. You know the two mouthwashes are different brands, even though at a distance the two bottles
