For years, freight brokers have used FAAAA preemption as a shield against negligent hiring and selection claims. The Supreme Court’s decision in Montgomery provides important new guidance on where that shield ends. If your company brokers freight, contracts with carriers, or manages transportation risk, this is a decision worth understanding.

We were excited to trade contract reviews for mixology as a hole sponsor at the annual St. Charles Regional Chamber golf tournament yesterday... and if you were there, hopefully you grabbed a cup of our homemade rum punch.

Beyond refreshments, it's always great to meet some of the talented business people in our community, share a little about what we do at Danna McKitrick, and enjoy a first-rate event. The Chamber always puts on a fantastic tournament, and we're proud to be a part of it.

A big shoutout to our sponsor team: attorneys Sarah Ayers and Katherine Flett, and law clerks Callie Kinser and Jeremy Thorpe, MBA.

We're hosting a free educational seminar on Tuesday, June 2 from 9 – 10 am, and we'd love for you to join us.

"The Missing Pieces: Planning Today for Your Family's Future" brings together three perspectives you don't often hear in the same room. Danna McKitrick estate planner Tabitha Atwell will be presenting alongside financial advisor Megan Burke of Edward Jones and trust advisor Rebecca James of Parkside Financial. Together, they'll walk through a real-world case study showing what coordinated planning looks like, and what can go wrong when these pieces aren't aligned.

This is a great opportunity for anyone thinking about their family's future, whether you're just getting started or it's simply been a while since you've revisited your plan. Attendance is free, with complimentary validated parking.

If you know someone who might benefit from this presentation, we'd encourage you to pass it along.

This past Friday, we closed out the workday a little early by throwing a party for the people who deserve it most. Our team works incredibly hard day in and day out, and we wanted to take a moment to slow down, share a great meal, and enjoy each other's company.

The food was delicious, the conversation was even better, and the afternoon was a great reminder of just how fortunate we are to work alongside such talented and dedicated people. To our whole team: we appreciate you, and we are so thankful for everything you bring to this firm. Here's to many more celebrations ahead.

Yesterday was a great day to hit the links and raise funds for an incredible cause!

At ARC Angels Foundation's annual charity golf tournament, our firm was proud to be a hole sponsor. Additionally, Danna McKitrick staff and attorneys put together three teams to help fundraise and show our support for the organization's mission of preventing youth su***de through educational programming.

From left to right, our firm's participants were: Bryan Schrempf, Gretchen Cox, Brett Figus, and Kristina Yagelski. Danna McKitrick attorney David Bohm, right, helped organize the event as chair of the board for ARC Angels.

Thanks again to ARC Angels for inviting us to be a part of this charity golf scramble. It's something we truly look forward to participating in every year.
