A beautiful day on the golf course, good company, and a chance to spend some time with a few of our valued clients... what more could we ask for? ⛳️

We had a great time at today’s West Metro Golf Par Tee, hosted by the West Des Moines Chamber of Commerce, Urbandale Chamber of Commerce, and Clive Chamber of Commerce. The weather was perfect, the vendors at each hole were engaging (and generous with the giveaways!), and it was a fun way to connect with others in our business community.

A special thank you to Joy and Jason Greer at Peel Business Design and Rod Brace at Advanced Problem Solutions (APS) for joining our best shot team. We always enjoy opportunities to spend time with our clients outside the office, and it was great to have Gabrielle join us for lunch afterward.

Thank you to everyone who helped make it such a fun day!

As businesses grow, legal needs evolve too. New contracts, employees, vendors, and business initiatives can create risks if your legal foundation isn't keeping up.

Before Q3 gets underway, take a few minutes to review this checklist. A proactive legal review today can help reduce risk, strengthen your business, and avoid costly issues down the road.

We recently spent some time reviewing the DSM Small Business Jobs Report by the Greater Des Moines Partnership, and one thing stood out immediately: THE MOMENTUM IS REAL!!

Nearly 10,000 new jobs were created by small businesses in 2023, new business formation is at its highest level in a decade, and the Des Moines metro continues to outpace the national average in employment growth.

Even more encouraging, that growth spans multiple industries, including professional services, healthcare, and construction. Entrepreneurship is also on the rise, creating a strong pipeline of new businesses entering the market.

For us at Vázquez Law Office, it's also an exciting reminder of why we do what we do. Every new business represents an entrepreneur taking a chance. Those businesses need trusted legal guidance as they launch, grow, hire employees, negotiate contracts, and navigate challenges along the way. Hats off to all of you powerhouses fueling our local economy and growth! Keep up the great work!

This month, we were excited to welcome Sam Welchance, SHRM-CP to Vázquez Law Office as our Inaugural Summer Associate.

Sam joins us after completing his first year at Drake University Law School, bringing sharp academics, radiating kindness, and demonstrating a strong work ethic and genuine eagerness to learn. From day one, he has shown himself to be exactly the kind of thoughtful, curious, community‑minded advocacy we hoped to invest in.

This internship is also meaningful for another reason. It is the first and most meaningful moment for our commitments to the communities we are a part of to take shape.

When we launched Vázquez Law Office, one of our earliest commitments was to participate in The Iowa State Bar Association Cady Internship & Scholarship Program, a program historically dedicated to championing diversity, developing local talent, and strengthening Iowa’s legal and business communities. Welcoming Sam is one of the ways we’re putting those words into action.

Sam has already hit the ground running! And has many more exciting moments in store.

In his first week alone, Sam has:
• Participated in client meetings and intake calls.
• Assisted with client communications during stressful, time‑sensitive situations.
• Conducted legal research and drafted work product and honed his emotional intelligence when communicating with clients.
• Helped compile facts and exhibits for settlement discussions.
• Joined strategy conversations across business litigation and advisory matters.
• Completed time‑entry training and started tracking and inputting his time in compliance with ABA standards.

This summer, Sam will continue gaining hands‑on experience across legal research, writing, operations, and community engagement, including participating in internship programs through the West Des Moines Chamber of Commerce and the Greater Des Moines Partnership.

Most importantly, we’re excited to invest in Sam’s growth as a future attorney. We believe real learning happens through meaningful responsibility, mentorship, and exposure to the real work of serving clients with care and clarity. We take the responsibility of many firsts for Sam's legal career very seriously and strive to make those firsts intentional and positive so he will thrive in those areas as he develops as an attorney.

Sam is already rising to the moment. Welcome to the team, Sam!

We’re glad you’re here and proud to be part of your journey.

One of the hardest parts of litigation isn't just the legal process, it's the stress, uncertainty, and emotional toll that come with it.

Today, we stopped by to check in on a few clients who are facing litigation. We brought a few "emotional support pals" to brighten their day and remind them they're not facing this alone.

As attorneys, our job is to advocate for our clients, but it's also to support them through what is often one of the most difficult chapters of their lives. A lawsuit can feel overwhelming, and sometimes a small gesture of kindness can make a meaningful difference.

We're grateful for the trust our clients place in us, and we're committed to standing beside them every step of the way.
