ATTENTION SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS!! This includes everyone who has a small company of less than 20 employees and less than $5,000,000 per year in gross reveneue (and yes, it even includes one-owner LLC's who have no employees). If you have not yet heard of the single most intrusive law passed by the federal government related to small business (called the Corporate Transparencey Act), go to my website blog at: https://www.gilbertlawva.com/blog/

You absolutely need to get yourself informed. Signficant fines and imprisonment can be imposed for non-compliance after the end of 2025. To learn more, go to my website or call our office at 540-912-2003.

From H.O.A to H.O. >

Attorney Jim Gilbert has represented Home Owner Associations over the years; but now, he prefers to take on home owner cases. With his law firm in the Smith Mountain Lake area, he certainly knows both sides. In a place regulated by four counties. In our new era of at-home and remote working, HOAs could take on a whole new dimension. We explore it a bit in the current edition of FRONT.

I was asked the other day if our firm handles legal matters for small businesses. The answer is YES. I have represented hundreds of small businesses from initial organizational formation to closure and dissolution. We have also assisted businesses with litigation. I recently dealt with an interesting business conspiracy case involving interference with customers, employees and theft of intellectual property. If you have any issues with your small business, or just want a "small business legal check-up," call me at 540-912-2003 or send an email to [email protected] to make an appointment.

I have recently asked a lot of my friends and clients about estate planning. The response I get ... yes, I have a simple will. While I am happy that folks are planning, sometimes "simple wills" are simply not enough. If you own a business, have you given thought to how the business will continue to operate after your death? Have you given thought to how you will protect your personal assets from business liabilities? I have experience with combining business succession planning and asset/liability protection with estate planning procedures. Call me at 540-912-2003 or send me an email to [email protected].
