A new rule is about to go into affect that may impact your business. Learn more 👇

The Federal Trade Commission recently published a final rule that impacts business owners in Eugene. This rule effectively bans all non-compete agreements between employers and “workers” as unfair methods of competition. It also prohibits employers from enforcing most existing non-competes. The rule applies nationwide, regardless of state laws allowing such agreements. The rule is set to go into effect on September 4, 2024.

Is your business in compliance with the Corporate Transparency Act?

Starting January 1, 2024, this legislation went into effect. Compliance with the Corporate Transparency Act (aka "CTA") is straightforward, but because the penalties can be severe, it's crucial for any business owner to understand their obligations.

That's why we've put together this comprehensive guide. Read more to find out how this new Act may apply to you 👇

If you talked to a business attorney or CPA recently, you might have heard about the Corporate Transparency Act (“CTA”). In this article, we’ll provide comprehensive information to help you wade through the legal jargon and hype.

Congratulations to Brad Litchfield, partner at Hutchinson Cox!

Last week, he was awarded the Joseph M. Kosydar Award for Professionalism by the Lane County Bar Association. The award was established in 1999, in memory of Joseph Kosydar, a long-time Lane County Deputy District Attorney. Local judges, who valued Joe’s professionalism and civility created the award to periodically recognize attorneys in the Bar who exemplify those same qualities. Our own Frank Gibson was a recipient of this award as well back in 2013.

Kudos to partner Andrea Coit for a successful outcome in her trial yesterday. After just 1 hour of deliberations, the jury awarded her client a verdict of not guilty.
