💼 Is your business really worth what you think it is?

For many business owners, years of hard work are spent building a company with the hope that one day, a successful sale or transition will help provide financial security for the future. But overlooked compliance issues can significantly impact a business’s value when it comes time to sell.

In our latest blog, Bacon Wilson Law Clerk Daniel McKellick II explores how common business practices — including worker misclassification, off-the-books payroll, mixing personal and business funds, and inadequate accounting practices — can create legal and financial liabilities that may ultimately lower a company’s value.

Daniel also discusses why taking a proactive approach to compliance can be an important part of protecting your business, preparing for succession, and preserving the value you’ve worked hard to build.

Daniel is currently a 3L at Western New England University School of Law. His blog was reviewed and approved by Attorney Sarah C. Federation of Bacon Wilson’s Corporate and Commercial Law Department.

Happy National Senior Citizens Day!

On August 19, 1988, President Ronald Reagan signed Proclamation 5847, officially designating August 21 as National Senior Citizens Day—a day dedicated to recognizing the achievements, wisdom, and lasting contributions of older adults across our country.

Today, we're celebrating the generations who have helped shape our families, workplaces, and communities. It also highlights the importance of thoughtful planning to help older adults protect their wishes, maintain their independence, and confidently prepare for the future.

At Bacon Wilson, we are especially proud to support seniors and their families through every stage of aging. With eight attorneys practicing in Elder Law, we have one of the largest Elder Law departments in Massachusetts, providing experienced guidance in areas such as estate planning, long-term care planning, MassHealth planning, guardianships, special needs planning, and more.

Today and every day, we celebrate the seniors who have given so much to our communities.
Happy National Senior Citizens Day!

We couldn't be happier for our Seller of 146 High Street in Agawam today. We are well aware that real estate transactions are so much more than selling a home, they represent generations of family history, memories, and connection...and this is no exception. Thank you Martha for trusting and supporting us over the years. We are incredibly grateful for your next chapter. The new Buyers are so super excited to carry on new traditions and create more moments here soon. Sending you all lots of love and we can't wait to celebrate with you soon. Special thanks to Seller's Attorney Brian Rucki of Bacon Wilson, P.C., Buyer's Realtor Jennifer Bradley of Benton Real Estate, and Seller's Realtors Kathy Witalisz & Heather Witalisz for a job well done.

🎉 Celebrating 45 Years of Hyman G. Darling! 🎉

Earlier this year, Hyman Darling celebrated an incredible milestone: 45 years with Bacon Wilson!

Throughout his more than four decades with the firm, Hyman has become recognized as one of the area’s preeminent estate planning and elder law attorneys. His extensive practice includes estate planning, trusts, tax law, probate and estates, guardianships, special needs planning, elder law, long-term care planning, and more.

Hyman’s knowledge and experience have also taken him well beyond Western Massachusetts. Over the years, he has shared his insight with fellow attorneys and professionals at presentations and conferences across the country, including in Ohio, Virginia, Chicago, Florida, Kansas City, and many other destinations. ✈️

But there’s plenty more to know about Hyman beyond his impressive legal career! Originally from Pittsburgh, Hyman is a proud Pittsburgher at heart. When he’s not practicing law or traveling to speak at conferences, he loves spending time with his family and traveling to visit his grandchildren.

During the winter months, Hyman enjoys spending time in Florida, where you can often find him walking the beach, collecting sea glass, and doing his part to keep the shoreline beautiful by picking up trash along the way. 🌊🐚 And whether he’s in Florida, Massachusetts, or somewhere in between, there’s one treat he’ll rarely pass up: an ice cream cone! 🍦

45 years of service, leadership, mentorship, and dedication is an extraordinary accomplishment, and we are incredibly fortunate to have Hyman as such an important part of the Bacon Wilson family.

Please join us in congratulating Hyman on 45 remarkable years with Bacon Wilson! 👏

Turning 18 is an exciting milestone, but it also comes with new legal responsibilities.

Once someone becomes a legal adult, parents no longer automatically have the authority to make medical or financial decisions on their behalf. That’s why it’s a smart time to consider a few essential legal documents, including a Health Care Proxy, HIPAA Authorization, and Durable Power of Attorney.

Whether your student is heading off to college, starting a new job, or simply beginning adulthood, having these documents in place can provide clarity and peace of mind when unexpected situations arise.

What a day! ☀️🌳 Our Bacon Wilson Family Day at Look Park was a huge success, and we’re so grateful to everyone who came out to enjoy an afternoon of food, fun, and time together with our Bacon Wilson family!

The competition was fierce during our co****le tournament 🏆, while our youngest guests had a blast completing their passport activities and exploring everything the day had to offer.

A very special shoutout to our summer intern, Chloe Kahn, who put so much time, energy, and hard work into helping make Family Day such a memorable event. Thank you, Chloe! 👏

Of course, we have to give some major love to the incredible vendors who helped make the day extra special. Hamels Catering absolutely knocked it out of the park with a delicious spread that had everyone going back for more. The food was a huge hit with our entire crew, and we couldn’t have asked for a better meal to enjoy together.

Our friends at Mixhaulogy were another highlight of the day, serving up incredible craft cocktails that everyone was raving about! 🍹 Their creativity, service, and delicious drinks added such a fun touch to the celebration and were a definite crowd favorite.

A huge thank you to Hamels Catering and Mixhaulogy for helping us treat our team and their families to such a fantastic experience. We loved having you be part of our day!

Most importantly, thank you to our attorneys and staff, along with their families and friends, who joined us. Days like this remind us that Bacon Wilson is more than a workplace — it’s a community.

Here’s to a wonderful summer and another Family Day in the books!

📚 ✏️ 🍎 Back-to-school season is about more than shopping for supplies and settling into new routines. It’s also a great time to make sure your family’s important information and documents are up to date.

From emergency contacts and medical authorizations to transportation permissions and school records, a little preparation now can help avoid unnecessary stress later.

If you have questions about your legal rights or responsibilities as the new school year begins, the experienced attorneys at Bacon Wilson, are here to help.

Have a question about back to school prep? Send us a direct message and someone will be in touch with you within 24 hours.
