Moving up

A promotion presents a public reward and affirmation for the person promoted, of course—and it’s a powerful opportunity to promote workplace values and culture. When done right and granted to deserving team members, promotions can motivate your entire team and reinforce your company culture. According to a Harvard Business Review survey of more than 400,000 […]

Club owner ‘abused’ arbitration process

A South Carolina strip club owner’s apparent exploitation and abuse of the arbitration process has resulted in a smackdown from the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Computer made overseas satisfies interstate nexus

Proving interstate commerce shouldn’t be all that difficult for federal prosecutors in the wake of a decision earlier this month from the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The court in United States v. Ronald Miltier held that the fact that a defendant’s computer was made overseas was enough to establish the interstate nexus requirement […]

One warrant, thousands of computers: feds’ search OK

A single warrant allowed FBI agents to infiltrate thousands of computers across the world as part of a child porn sting that relied on a government hacking technique that peels away the dark web’s supposed mask of anonymity.

Court distinguishes ineffective assistance, plain error

A North Carolina “career offender” serving 25 years after pleading guilty to gun and drug charges is looking at some degree of relief after the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Dec. 21 that the standards of review for plain error and for ineffective assistance of counsel are different.

Keep your office holiday party harassment-free

The shenanigans that occur at office holiday parties are often the subject of movie plots, memes and inside jokes among co-workers. In today’s culture, however, these shenanigans can serve as the basis for a claim of sexual harassment or other related misconduct.  Worse yet, this year’s holiday party shenanigans could be tomorrow’s headlines.  As a […]

Presumed visa waiver doesn’t violate due process

After 16 years in America, an Argentinian “tourist” is being deported without a hearing after the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found that despite the absence of a signed waiver, he in fact waived his right to contest removal. Gustavo Nardea entered the U.S. in 2001 under the Visa Waiver Program, which authorized him […]

Keeping your balance: 2017 year-end tax planning

Year-end 2017 is shaping up as an important deadline to have tax strategies in place to take advantage of certain opportunities before they sunset along with the close of the tax year on Dec. 31, 2017. A major challenge this year, of course, involves the uncertainty that will remain — likely into late November/early December […]

Stock returns aren’t always what you may think

The brutal truth is that most stocks are a poor investment. That’s a shocking claim because it runs counter to the widely held assumption that most stocks will be a good investment if held long enough. After all, investors are constantly reminded to stick with their investments for the long-term and are told that patience […]
