Bar News - December 14, 2007 2008 Midyear Meeting Preview
The Bar’s annual Professionalism Day program takes place in connection with the NHBA Midyear Meeting – a morning CLE program (2.25 NHMCLE Professionalism Hours) provides a refreshing and humorous approach to the subject.
Afternoon CLE Programs Tax, Business & Legal Aspects of Equity Planning for Employees and Family Members 2.5 NHMCLE Hours Many companies use equity awards as incentives to bond their employees; as a surrogate when cash is required for working capital or growth; and as a way of spreading wealth amongst family members who don’t directly participate in the business. Using equity for these purposes can have significant legal, tax and business implications that should be taken into account in reaching that decision. An interdisciplinary panel of lawyers, accountants and businesspeople will discuss some of these basic considerations. Alan L. Reisch, Program Chair/CLE Committee Member, Sheehan Phinney Bass+Green, Manchester Tom Manson, Cook Little Rosenblatt & Manson PLLC, Manchester William C. Enck, CPA, APA, Senior Manager, Berry, Dunn, McNeil & Parker, Portland, Maine
“On the Record” Appeals to the Superior Court from Zoning Board of Adjustment and Planning Board decisions 2.0 NHMCLE Hours “On the Record” appeals limit the evidence and hearing process to the “record” of the Zoning Board of Adjustment/Planning Board actions. The panel will analyze what constitutes the “record”, how the record may be expanded, evidentiary issues; hearing procedures, pleadings, memorandums, burdens of proof and problem areas. This program is a “must” for all land use and municipal attorneys. John J. Ryan, Program Chair/CLE Committee Member, Casassa & Ryan, Hampton Hon. John M. Lewis, New Hampshire Superior Court, Malcolm R. McNeill, McNeill, Taylor & Gallo PA, Dover
