Attorney Robert Mascali will co-present a complimentary educational seminar, Getting Your House in Order: Key Considerations in Estate, Housing, and Healthcare Planning for Retirement at WE CAN in Hyannis on Thursday, October 15th. Call 508.430.8111 or email [email protected] to RSVP

WE CAN empowers and support Cape Cod women to build pathways to stability and self-sufficiency, offering free and confidential programs that span legal, financial, career and small business support, personal development and mentoring.

Banking & Finance Attorney Cornelius Chapman was published in Tax Notes, Taxable Health Savings Accounts: A Self-Fueled Vehicle to Universal Coverage, with support from Health Law colleague Attorney Elizabeth Greene. In the article, Con argues that the exclusion of employer-sponsored health insurance from workers' taxable income should be repealed.

"Folk wisdom tells us not to change horses in midstream, but after a half century of increasingly poor returns, the ESI exclusion, like the old grey mare, ain’t what it used to be, and should be put out to pasture," he says.

The decisions employers make during recruiting, hiring and onboarding can have significant consequences throughout the employment relationship – and particularly when that relationship ends.

This presentation will also address the legal and practical issues that arise during the offer and onboarding process and discuss best practices for protecting business interests and mitigating risk.

Registration is now open for the half-day seminar. Free to attend but advanced registration is required. Visit Mirick's website for additional seminar details and registration link.
