Rosenn Jenkins & Greenwald LLP Since 1954, Rosenn Jenkins & Greenwald has been a leader in both law and community service. Many clients work with us throughout their lives.

With multiple practice groups, including Business and Finance, Real Estate, and Family Law, we have the experience to effectively resolve a range of legal matters. Since 1954, the attorneys at Rosenn, Jenkins & Greenwald, LLP have served Pennsylvania with distinction. We are the largest law firm in northeastern Pennsylvania and combine the work of nearly 40 attorneys to serve our clients' needs in many diverse areas of law. With two locations in Wilkes-Barre and Tunkhannock, our distinguished law firm represents clients throughout the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and nationally. These include businesses, non-profits, individuals and government entities. Successful resolution of a legal matter often requires legal knowledge in more than one area of law. A problem is rarely just a real estate matter, just a business litigation matter or just an employment matter — it often has elements of several practice areas. The best results are achieved when a law firm can draw on in-depth knowledge from each of these practice areas. At Rosenn, Jenkins & Greenwald LLP, our lawyers each focus on specific practice areas, but work together in teams to achieve results for our clients. While our clients may develop a close relationship with one attorney, other attorneys with different areas of knowledge and skills are available to assist with legal work as necessary. The result is favorable outcomes for our clients in a broad spectrum of transactional matters and civil litigation. Because we are capable of handling a range of legal matters successfully, our clients are able to turn to us again and again for solutions to the legal problems they face. In fact, we have served some Pennsylvania families for generations.

Congratulations to the Osterhout Free Library on holding its 17th Annual Brewsterhout Rooftop Party on October 2! Our firm was a proud sponsor of this great event.

For the last 17 years, the Brewsterhout Rooftop Party has been a vital fundraiser for the Osterhout Free Library. Local restaurants, businesses, and breweries set up booths on the rooftop, and attendees can shop while enjoying drinks and entertainment. The Library itself has served our community for the last 137 years. Many Luzerne County residents utilize their programs to continue their education after their school-age years, conduct research and study for post-secondary school exams, and immerse their children and grandchildren in the wonders of reading. It's a dynamic and versatile community center that we are proud to support.

In the next installment of our Professional Activity Profile series, we recognize the service of Zachary J.C. Watkins of our Litigation Department with the Young Lawyers Division of the Pennsylvania Bar Association.

The Pennsylvania Bar Association was founded in 1895 as a voluntary professional membership association for lawyers. Its mission is to promote justice, professional excellence, and respect for the law; improve public understanding of the law and the legal system; facilitate access to legal services for those in need; and provide a variety of professional benefits and networking opportunities.

The Young Lawyers Division is composed of attorneys who have not reached their fortieth birthday or who have practiced for less than ten years. One of the primary ways the Young Lawyers Division pursues its mission is through coordinating the Pennsylvania High School Mock Trial Tournament in which more than 250 teams participated this year.

Zach serves as the Zone 5 Co-Chair of the Young Lawyers Division Executive Council, where he promotes the interests of local county-level Young Lawyers Divisions from across Northeast Pennsylvania. He is active with the Mock Trial Tournament and has led both the District and Regional Competition and served as a juror in the State Final Tournament.

As business owners are approached about selling their business, they must carefully consider the purchase offers that are presented to them to determine if the terms are advisable. For instance, a key issue is oftentimes the portion of the purchase price that is to be paid by the purchaser to the seller after the closing of the transaction (normally referred to as the “seller financing” for the deal).

In addition to confirming the creditworthiness of the purchaser, a seller should also consider a number of other factors concerning such an arrangement, such as (i) the duration of the proposed seller financing; (ii) the timing and frequency of the purchaser’s payment of the installments thereof, (iii) the security to be afforded for the seller financing, and (iv) the extent to which the seller financing will be subordinated to other indebtedness of the purchaser.

Our firm’s Business & Finance Department has developed an extensive, dedicated practice representing clients in connection with the purchase or sale of a business. In such a capacity, we regularly advise sellers about potential sale offers and the associated risks.

If you are a business owner who has received or is expecting a sale offer, contact Paul Rushton ([email protected]), or one of the other attorneys in our Business & Finance Department to learn more about these services.

Selling a closely-held business can be one of the most important, but stressful, events in any business owner's career. The dual challenges of meeting the requirements of selling a business while continuing the business's day-to-day operations can make a business owner feel as if they are living in the "eye of the storm."

However, certain steps can be taken in advance of the sale process to minimize this stress.

In an article prepared by Paul T. Rushton, our Managing Partner and a member of our firm’s Business & Finance Department, Paul offers suggestions for business owners to utilize the calm before the storm.

If you would like to learn more about these suggested steps and/or other issues relating to the purchase or sale of a business, please contact Paul at 570-826-5623 or [email protected].

What should be in my estate plan?

To many people, this basic question is overwhelming and prevents the implementation of even the most basic estate plan. However, individuals can avoid this trap of inaction by initially focusing on the estate planning documents that all individuals should have in place (or at least strongly consider adopting), including a Last Will and Testament, a Power of Attorney, an Advance Health Care Declaration, and a living will.

These basic, but incredibly important documents designate, among other issues: (i) the persons or entities that will receive your assets upon your death; (ii) the person(s) who will administer your estate after your death; (iii) the persons who will be authorized to make financial and/or health decisions on your behalf during your lifetime; and (iv) the life-prolonging procedures that you do and do not want to be administered on your behalf.

The attorneys in our Estates and Tax Practice Group regularly assist individuals in addressing these and other important estate planning issues. If you are interested in learning more about these basic estate planning documents and/or other estate planning techniques, please contact Jane Anzalone of our Estates and Tax Practice Group ([email protected]). We are here to help!

In this week’s Professional Activity Profile, we highlight the service of Paul T. Rushton, our firm's Managing Partner, with the Closely Held Business Committee of the Business Law Section of the Pennsylvania Bar Association.

The Closely Held Business Committee was formed for the purpose of assisting Pennsylvania lawyers in providing advice to closely held businesses concerning business and finance issues. To further such purpose, the Closely Held Business Committee produces educational materials and opportunities (including articles and seminars) for Pennsylvania practitioners that are focused on the impact of business and finance laws on closely held businesses.

In addition to serving as the Chair of the Committee, Paul has also prepared multiple articles and presented a number of seminars as part of the educational initiatives of the Committee.
