As the weather finally cools, the days get shorter, and the busy holiday season approaches, we start planning parties, holiday shopping, and marketing campaigns. While you plan to invite guests into your home and customers into your business, it is important to keep in mind what protections that you as a landowner or business proprietor, owe to your guests and customers. A landowner or business proprietor typically owes a duty to make the area reasonably safe for all customers, guests, and sometimes even trespassers. However, the duty owed is different for each category of people. So, what precautions must you take to make your store, office, home, or property “safe”?

Essentially, wrongful termination is when an individual is fired for an unlawful reason. The risks can be a large judgment or even simply high costs of successfully defending the claim. Such suits can be extremely costly since regardless of whether you win the case or not, you are still on the hook for attorney’s fees.

Spring is a fun and exciting time of year. Gone are the cold and short days of winter, exchanged for warmer weather, blooming vegetation, increased sunlight, and my personal favorite, New York Met baseball. Spring also serves as a reminder to declutter, refresh, and restart in many ways, such as the longstanding tradition of spring cleaning. One aspect that often gets left out of the traditional spring-cleaning checklist is an evaluation and refresh of business matters. Here is a quick list of items you and your company may want to review before we enter the dog days of summer:
