Some online notes about interesting current legal issues...

Liquor Commission The New Hampshire Liquor Commission is a powerful entity that can revoke or suspend liquor licenses and sanction organizations with hefty fines. Violations of liquor laws can even result in criminal prosecutions is some cases.
The laws associated with liquor licensing and enforcement are very complex, and the Commission and its staff are well-versed. However, when an entity is accused of violating the liquor laws, the Commission and the Division of Enforcement and Licensing are not there to help that entity. They are there to punish it.
An organization facing allegations of liquor license violations is ill-advised to face the Commission or its staff without legal representation. Lack of knowledge of the process and the applicable laws, rules and procedures can result in significant unforeseen consequences. Remember, your company has a right to a hearing in most cases, and agreeing to a settlement is not always the best way to proceed, although the Commission may strongly encourage your company to do so.

| Contracts are Common We enter into agreements frequently in our day-to-day lives. From applying for a credit card to signing for a bank loan to ordering a product on the internet, contracts are a necessary part of being a consumer or a business owner. But parties to a contract do not always agree on the interpretation of its terms or abide by those terms. And some documents are just so wordy and confusing that it is hard to know whether signing them is a good idea. We have prepared, reviewed, mediated and litigated a wide variety of contractual agreements. Before you enter into an important agreement or get too deeply into a disagreement, give us a call. We can help you make good decisions so you do not unintentionally lock yourself into unfavorable terms and help protect your rights in case of a dispute.
