Going into business with someone you trust is a great startβ€”but it’s not a legal strategy.

Disagreements often arise around roles, compensation, and decision-making authority. Without clear documentation, even small issues can escalate quickly.

Defining expectations early helps protect both the business and the relationship.

🏞️ Did you spend some time at a lake house this past holiday weekend?
One of my favorite parts of practicing real estate law in Northeast Connecticut is sitting at a closing table with a buyer who's about to call a lake cottage on Quaddick, Alexander's Lake, or Roseland their own.

But over the years I've learned that lake properties come with title issues that don't show up on a typical suburban home.

Three things I always check on a Northeast CT lake property:

βœ“ Private road and access agreements β€” many lake communities maintain their own roads, and the cost-sharing arrangement should be in writing
βœ“ Riparian and dock rights β€” your right to put in a dock or use the water isn't always automatic, even if the previous owner had one
βœ“ Lake association assessments β€” older communities sometimes carry unrecorded or poorly documented assessments that surface long after closing

A clean closing on a lake home is a wonderful start to summer. If you're under contract β€” or thinking about putting in an offer β€” let's review the title commitment and association documents together so you know exactly what you're stepping into.

This Memorial Day, may we all pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

Their sacrifice is the foundation of the freedoms we live with every day, and it deserves more than a moment. It deserves reflection, gratitude, and remembrance.

As we gather with family and friends today, it’s important to take time to recognize what this day truly represents.

We remember. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

πŸ“‹ Did your Connecticut business cross the 11-employee threshold this year? If so, the state's paid sick leave law now applies to you β€” and a few compliance steps are easy to overlook.

As of January 1, 2026, employers with 11 or more employees must provide one hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours worked, up to 40 hours per year. The old "service worker" carve-out is gone β€” almost every employee is covered.

A few things newly covered employers often miss:
βœ“ A Department of Labor poster must be displayed in English and Spanish
βœ“ Each employee needs written notice of their rights at hire
βœ“ Pay stubs must show accrued and used sick leave hours
βœ“ Documentation can't be required from employees taking leave

If your business has grown into the new threshold and you're not sure where to start, let's review your handbook and pay practices together. It's far easier to set this up properly now than to untangle a complaint later.
