Our new year has jumped from the starting line into March, but with great tragedies in our communities. The death of our fellow citizens in the coal mines of Sago and Aracoma and battles overseas have reminded us of the dangers and risks undertaken daily to provide for our families and our country. Our sympathies and condolences go out to the many family and friends of those lost. 

Our inaugural Vantage Points was warmly received, and we welcome the opportunity to provide you with an update on several matters of interest, and also introduce you to several more of our outstanding attorneys. Our feature article on Brownfield Redevelopment in West Virginia-Turning Liabilities into Assets was prepared by Steve Golder in our Business Section. Steve has been with us for 13 years and concentrates on business and commercial law, mergers and acquisitions, real estate and bankruptcy law.

Bo Sweeney, one of our senior litigators, addresses planning for your home addition and renovation.  Bo speaks from experience; he has represented many homeowners (and business owners) in construction and fire loss litigation. It’s ounce of prevention, advice that bears repeating.

Our third Vantage Point is an update from Steve Wellman on Brick Street Insurance developments. We are extremely excited to be part of the Workers’ Compensation revolution in West Virginia, and look forward to its unfolding.

On behalf of our Members, including our newest additions, Charlie Gould, Max Corley and Steve Wellman, we welcome you back. Please use, share and comment on our efforts to provide clarity in this new HTML format. 

                                                                        Warmly,
