Spring is my favorite season in Huntington.  So many trees and bushes in bloom.  Coreopsis and roses are providing the color right now.  Renewal is upon us -- and a news update is in order!!

Our newsletter may be short on tips for your garden, but has three legal topics well-covered.  Wes Agee, with a long and successful practice in business and corporate law, has our lead article focusing on consumer tax breaks for conserving energy.  Check out what is available, and note that some of the opportunities are short-lived.  Michael Estep, in our labor and employment section, addresses some workplace discrimination issues we’re seeing right now.  We also showcase Lee Hall, a veteran litigation attorney with a substantial insurance practice, who has authored a note about some very important changes in insurance regulations, which have been in effect about one month.

We have found this newsletter to be an excellent way to provoke thought on some important and current practice issues.  Back issues are available on our website.  Call or e-mail the author, your law firm contact or me with questions, and also ideas for future articles.

In closing, maybe I do have a gardening tip.  Buy some fertilizer – and use it!!  Best wishes for a great start to your summer.

Warmly,

Barry M. Taylor, CEO
