Realistic Settlements & Verdicts: Protecting Our Legal System In today’s legal landscape, the importance of grounding settlements and verdicts in true damages rather than emotional runaways cannot be overstated. Here's why it's crucial for businesses and the integrity of our legal system: - Realistic Assessments: Settlements and verdicts should reflect the actual damages incurred. Basing outcomes on tangible losses ensures fairness and proportionality in legal resolutions. -Avoiding Emotional Runaways: Emotional reactions can drive excessively high settlements or verdicts. While emotions are natural, allowing them to dictate outcomes can lead to unjust penalties and strain on defendants, potentially jeopardizing the sustainability of businesses. - Ensuring Legal System Integrity: The legal system thrives on principles of justice and equity. Realistic valuations prevent the system from becoming overwhelmed by inflated claims, maintaining balance and credibility. - Protecting Economic Stability: For businesses, disproportionate settlements can lead to financial distress or even bankruptcy. Aligning awards with actual damages helps maintain economic stability and encourages a fairer business environment. -Encouraging Fair Settlements: Settlements should be grounded in reality to benefit both plaintiffs and defendants. Fair resolutions foster goodwill and provide a foundation for amicable and equitable conflict resolution. -Failure to do so will endanger the current tort system leading toward tort reform that undermines the trial by jury process. It’s essential that our legal decisions balance rightful compensation and realistic damage assessment. Let’s advocate for a fairer legal process that upholds justice for all parties involved.

By providing a less formal, dialogue-based resolution process, the #IRS is moving towards a more taxpayer-friendly approach. This is particularly advantageous for small businesses that may lack the resources to engage in prolonged legal disputes. #ADR #Mediation #IRSDisputes #CTTaxHelp https://ow.ly/j86550Sb7FY

One area of legal practice that always amuses me is recovering money on behalf of clients. Why? You may ask. Most people enter into transactions blindly without guidance, especially thinking that they are getting the best deal. You see that lawyer you are avoiding because you think they will bill you out of the small money you have now; or you think they will bill you out of the small money you will make from that transaction. Weldone. When the transaction goes south, they will bill you the big money you don’t have to cure the problem that comes with avoiding legal representation when you needed it. Prevention is better than cure – you know that. It’s time to practice it. Get a lawyer to advise and guide you through your transactions. When you do that, you will: 1.    Avoid legal pitfalls. 2.    Avoid bad terms in agreements. 3.    Ensure the agreement meets your expectations. 4.    Have peace of mind over the transaction. Don’t do business blindly. I am rooting for you, always. 

UPDATE ON CORPORATE TRANSPARENCY ACT (CTA)   A federal judge in Texas issued an order blocking enforcement of the Corporate Transparency Act and regulations under it, nationwide, on Tuesday, December 3rd. The order came only four weeks before the deadline for most privately held companies that are not subject to industry-specific reporting regulations to file Beneficial Ownership Information Reports with the federal Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). The Department of Justice (DOJ) has the opportunity to appeal the order, and if it does so, the effect of the order could be temporarily suspended pending the outcome of the appeal, and the order could be overturned on appeal. As of the time of writing, the DOJ has not announced whether it will appeal and FinCEN has not issued any guidance in response to the order. So, although enforcement of the CTA and its regulations is currently blocked, such that companies that would otherwise be required to report cannot be forced to do so, it is not clear how long that will be the case.   At Bowie & Jensen we have been staying abreast of CTA developments and continue to help companies assess and address them. Please contact Jeremy Garner, Brent Clemmens, or any of our other attorneys so we can do the same for you. https://lnkd.in/e8Skq4YD
