Vermont Business Magazine has informed us that we received the most votes for Vermont's Best Bankruptcy Law Firm in its annual Best of Business readers' poll. Apparently the poll had 68,000 votes this year. We are grateful to the bankers and other creditor clients that apparently voted for us. The May edition of the magazine will apparently have more information about our firm and the other winners. Jack Kennelly is the leader of that practice group and is President of the firm.

Pratt Vreeland partner and insurance lawyer Matt Anderson recently took a Webinar on the ability of businesses to make insurance claims under their property and casualty policies' "business interruption" coverage for corona-related losses. Policy language differs from policy-to-policy but most require that there be some actual physical damage to the business premises for this coverage to be triggered. The presenters took the view that this requirement might be met if the business interruption came about due to corona virus particulates actually entering the building via an infected employee or customer. The theory being that the particulates actually physically damaged the premises by contaminating them, thereby requiring the shutdown for remedial sanitation.

The insurers are expected to disagree with this argument, thus requiring litigation, but if a business suffered $50,000 or more in losses after the premises were infected by corona virus the fight might well be worth it.
