At last week’s Lancaster Chamber Annual Dinner, business and community leaders came together for an evening of connection and insightful conversation into the future of Lancaster County. The event’s focus, “ordinary people, extraordinary impact”, explored and celebrated the day-to-day work that happens across the county and across industries that make our community stronger.

Micah Saul presented the Catalyst Award to Marshall Snively and the Lancaster City Alliance on behalf of McNees. As president of the Alliance, Marshall leads the organization’s efforts to strengthen the city of Lancaster through economic development, neighborhood investments, business support, and public engagement. The Alliance’s work has included the Downtown Improvement District and Building on Strength with Our Future Lancaster, the City’s comprehensive plan through 2030.

Since opening our Lancaster office more than 20 years ago, the firm has been proud to serve the business and community of this region. Lancaster has experienced remarkable growth and vitality, and our firm is excited to both witness and contribute to that momentum.

Those in attendance, representing the firm, included Claudia Shank, Ashley Nichols Weber, Denise Elliott, Veronica Morrison, Brian Honness, Josh Cohen, Erica Wible, Jill Laskowitz, Ian Brinkman, Susan Grosh, Ryan MacDonald, and Brett Marcy from Apollo Communications.

05/26/2026

When something goes wrong on a construction project, owners, contractors, and subcontractors all have the same question: Who bears responsibility? The answer is often found in indemnification clauses. Construction attorneys Veronica Morrison and Colin Butler explore what indemnification is and what it means for a project team, including:

🔹Indemnification is meant to protect from third-party claims and act as a risk-shifting device in construction contracts.
🔹There are three types of indemnification clauses, each allocating risk differently
🔹Project owners often want broad protection from financial responsibility, while contractors often wish to limit their exposure.

Find more on indemnification and how to best protect your business from risk exposure in Veronica and Colin’s full article from The Legal Intelligencer here: https://bit.ly/4fJ6rVD
