Can anyone advise me on the degree to which retirement savings (401K, IRA, SEP-IRA) are insulated from personal and business creditors?

A client is in search of a small professional office suite <2000 sf in Watertown/Brighton/Newton, near public transportation. Recommendations of brokers sought. Thank you.

I received an inquiry from a potential client (who came from my LinkedIn profile) looking for a business attorney to form a new entity and purchase an existing website business. The new company has team members spread out in different locations: DC, Chicago, Utah, Brazil, Japan.

I indicated that we could not represent the client because our firm does not have attorneys admitted to practice in any of those jurisdictions.

The client would like to find an attorney in Utah. Can anyone recommend a business attorney in Utah?

I've been contacted through another networking group by someone looking for attorney to provide guidance to another person who recently left his prior employer in the technology space and is at risk of losing his stock warrants. The individual is located in Boston.

If any of the BLN members are interested in this, please let me know and I will refer you. If you know of another attorney who is qualified in this space, please share that as well. Please contact me at VanSmick@ActionCoach.com

Thanks!

As many of you know, the Business Software Alliance (BSA) is a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to combat software piracy. The BSA has begun to target smaller companies. As an example, a small Midwestern engineering and consulting firm was recently required to pay the BSA $105,000 to settle claims for its use of unlicensed software.

On July 9, 2008, the BSA announced an expansion of its “Know It/Report It/Reward It” campaign which is designed to induce individuals to notify the BSA of software piracy by providing cash rewards of up to $1,000,000.

We have a client who is looking for an attorney experienced in import and export licensing, primarily to and from the EU.

Please email me at LSheh@colemangagnon.com.

Thank you.

Although it would be ideal to have a paperless office, that isn't always practical. And even if you are fortunate enough to go entirely paperless, you may have paper files from before the switch to a paperless office. I am Interested in learning what others from small offices are doing for document destruction. For those of us with minimal document destruction needs there do not seem to be a lot of good options. One can buy a shredder and have it done internally, but this is inefficient except for the smallest of jobs.
