We’re proud to announce that a case Jeff Loeb tried and prevailed on in the Land Court, Bonanno v. Zoning Board of Appeals of Gloucester, has been affirmed by the Appeals Court and the Supreme Judicial Court declined to hear further arguments

The case turned on standing. Abutters challenged the ZBA's determination that our clients' vacant lot was buildable. The Appeals Court agreed, with a line worth remembering: "neither conjecture nor speculative personal opinion substitutes for proof."

The result: finality for our clients and a clear path to build.

Congratulations to Jeff and the Rich May team, read more about the win: https://bit.ly/4317715

Proud to have Rich May attorney Joe Dorfler on the water panel at the 78th Annual NECPUC Symposium last week at the Samoset Resort in Rockport, Maine.

The conversation cut to the issues defining the future of New England's water utilities, aging infrastructure, affordability, PFAS, and the regulatory framework that will shape the sector for decades to come.

These aren't abstract policy questions. They are the day-to-day realities our utility and municipal clients are navigating, and forums like NECPUC are where thoughtful solutions take shape.

Thank you to NECPUC, our fellow panelists, and the commissioners across New England for an important discussion.

Solar zoning in Massachusetts is changing, and older municipal bylaws may now face new legal risk.

In a new article, Harley Racer examines how Tracer Lane II, subsequent court decisions, and a recent Attorney General decision are reshaping the standard for local solar regulation.

The key takeaway: municipalities may regulate solar, but they cannot effectively block it without a specific, evidence-based public health, safety, or welfare justification.

Rich May was pleased to sponsor the Tuesday Power Lunch Club’s spring social yesterday at Society on High in Boston.

Danielle Justo and other members gathered for a three-course power lunch and an afternoon centered on conversation, connection, and new commerce.

When it comes to holding real estate, the right structure depends on the owner’s goals, and the tradeoffs matter.

In a new article, Yana Zheng examines the key differences between revocable and irrevocable trusts for real estate, including control, probate avoidance, creditor exposure, potential tax considerations, and long-term care planning.

A revocable trust may offer flexibility and easier management, while an irrevocable trust may provide stronger asset protection and planning advantages when properly structured. The right approach is highly fact-specific.

Rich May congratulates Jonathan Loeb on securing a complete dismissal of all claims on behalf of a defendant title insurer.

The Plymouth County Superior Court’s decision reinforces an important principle in title insurance coverage, title insurance protects against defects in, liens on, or encumbrances affecting title. It does not generally cover expenses that arise from unrecorded government regulations affecting the use of property.

The ruling offers important guidance for insurers, property owners, and real estate professionals evaluating the scope of title insurance coverage.
