Doing good for the community! Jamie Hamelburg and Kim Boyd volunteer at Shepherd’s Table as part of the Bar Association of Montgomery County, MD’s Day of Service.
Two of our attorneys–Jamie Hamelburg and Janell Wheeler–were recently honored with the Super Lawyers® designation based on peer recognition and professional achievement.
In Donald Carswell’s most recent blog, he discusses the government’s new reporting requirement that is essential for all businesses to understand. Known as the Corporate Transparency Act, the law requires many businesses to disclose to the government information about their owners. The blog is here.
With the rise in financial crimes and money laundering and the increasingly problematic use of “shell companies” to commit these crimes and wrongdoings, the Government decided to take action. In 2021, Congress passed legislation which included the Corporate Transparency Act (“CTA”), which requires certain business entities to file a Beneficial Owner Information Report (“BOI Report(s)”).
In Jamie Hamelburg’s most recent blog, she provides important information on how business owners can set prices for their products and services without running afoul of antitrust laws. The blog is here.
On January 1, 2024, Fred Press retired from the practice of law after 50 years of practice. His matters have been transitioned to other members of the PD&H team. Please direct any questions to Jamie Hamelburg who can be reached at jhamelburg@pressdozierlaw.com.
To small business owners, antitrust laws may feel irrelevant and as though they only apply to industry giants. While headlines often highlight cases involving corporate juggernauts such as Amazon in its 2021 and 2022 price-fixing lawsuits or Google and Facebook, antitrust laws apply to businesses of any size. A Southeastern antitrust case from the early 1980s, for example, involved numerous small road construction contractors but is one of the most significant U.S. antitrust cases to date. This case is a stark reminder that antitrust laws have wide application. They apply to small enterprises, like corner coffee shops and neighborhood bookstores.
