DATELINE:  BOSTON, MA…

At the outset of a joint venture, many real estate investors don’t focus on the inevitable question – what could possibly go wrong?

At the recent Real Estate Bar Association for Massachusetts (REBA) 2008 Spring Conference Attorney Mark Furman, chairman of the litigation department of Tarlow, Breed, Hart & Rodgers, P.C., outlined not only what can go wrong, but also how to approach the resolution of disputes among co-venturers.

Disputes or claims that arise out of joint ownership agreements run the gamut. Common areas of discord include: self dealing, usurping corporate opportunities, entitlement to compensation or fees not fairly allocated, the right to work in a venture, mismanagement, unequal treatment, or exclusion from information, participation, and decision-making.

Under Massachusetts law, joint venture parties have the same fiduciary duties as partners, owing each other the duty of utmost good faith and loyalty, particularly in regard to minority shareholders. Co-venturers may not act out of self-interest or avarice in violation of their duty of loyalty to their partners and the business.

In matters involving business policy, majority shareholders have the initial burden of demonstrating a legitimate business purpose for the action taken. This includes majority shareholders exercising discretion in declaring or withholding dividends, deciding whether to merge or consolidate, establishing the salaries of corporate officers, dismissing directors with or without cause, and hiring and firing corporate employees. The minority shareholders then have the burden of demonstrating that the same legitimate objective could have been achieved through an alternative course of action less harmful to the minority’s interest. The Courts then weigh the legitimate business purpose against the practicability of a less harmful alternative. The Courts also consider the reasonable expectation of the parties.

In situations involving corporate opportunities and self-dealing, the burden is on those who benefit from the venture to prove that the decision was fair to the corporation. An agreement among owners should minimize claims. If it is a joint venture, the scope of the venture should be narrowly defined.

Although Massachusetts courts have indicated that the fiduciary duties owed between joint venturers can be modified or limited by contract, there has been a reluctance to allow for the total elimination of fiduciary duties. Statutory provisions also exist under Massachusetts law that can be used to limit or eliminate the personal liability of a manager or member of a Limited Liability Corporation (LLC) or limit the liability of a director of a business corporation.

Massachusetts courts will apply the law of the state of incorporation to claims concerning the internal affairs of a corporation, including claims for breach of fiduciary duty. The scope of fiduciary duties can vary from state to state, and the statute of limitations, burdens of proof, and available remedies may also differ.

Some claims may only be brought as derivative claims on behalf of a company. A derivative action must be brought to recover for breach of duties owed to the corporation. Because a derivative action is brought on the grounds of breach of duty owed to the corporation, any recovery will benefit the corporation. Claims that the majority has been paid excessive compensation must be brought as derivative claims. Direct claims for breach of duty owed to a shareholder may be brought directly by the aggrieved minority shareholder. Direct claims include those challenging the termination of employment and certain “freeze out” techniques.

In Massachusetts, breach of fiduciary duty through diversion of corporate opportunities and self dealing is usually subject to a three year statute of limitations while certain other contractual claims may be subject to a six year statute of limitations. The statute of limitations may be extended by virtue of the Plaintiff not having knowledge of the wrongdoing, fraudulent concealment, or in derivative actions, the adverse domination of the corporation by the alleged wrongdoers.

The court has broad equitable powers to fashion remedies where there has been a breach of fiduciary duty. Courts attempt to restore as nearly as possible the wronged party to the position they would have been in had there not been wrongdoing. Remedies should neither grant the minority a windfall nor excessively penalize the majority. The remedy should be consistent with the reasonable expectations of the parties.

Massachusetts statutory remedies are determined by provisions of the Limited Liability Company Act, the Uniform Partnership Act, the Limited Partnership Act, and the Business Corporations Act.

DATELINE:  BOSTON, MA�

An upcoming ruling by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court (SJC) has the potential to be a very significant case not only for consumers, but also for the Commonwealth as a whole according to Attorney Lee M. Holland of Tarlow, Breed, Hart & Rodgers.

 

At issue in Joseph Iannacchino & others v. Ford Motor Company & another is the extent to which a plaintiff must sustain a demonstrable injury or loss before looking to the courts for relief from allegedly unfair or deceptive practices under Chapter 93A.  Once they clear this hurdle, for instance, they can access the statuteâ??s powerful treble damages provisions.  Accordingly, the answer is important to anyone who does business in Massachusetts and may potentially face such claims.

 

The Case in a nutshell.

In the Iannacchino case, the plaintiffs are contending that the defendants violated the Consumer Protection Act by failing to recall and fix certain vehicles that allegedly have a defect in their door latching mechanisms that exposes consumers to the risk of serious injury or death. The defendants evaluated the latch mechanisms and decided against initiating a recall.

 

The Superior Court granted the defendantsâ?? motion to dismiss the plaintiffsâ?? claim since the plaintiffs had been able to use the allegedly defective vehicles, and had not suffered any direct personal or economic injury as a result of the alleged defect. In the pending SJC appeal, the plaintiffs challenge the trial courtâ??s dismissal of the claim.

 

Pros and Cons.

Notes Holland, â??Several strong but competing arguments exist for the SJC to consider. On one hand, consumer advocacy groups argue that the ultimate goal should be improved consumer safety, and that it would be perverse to interpret existing law to require a consumer to suffer physical injury as a prerequisite to bringing a claim where it can establish that a defect exists which reasonably poses an increased risk of causing harm to consumers.

 

Conversely, it can be argued that consumers are adequately protected under existing law, but even more so by demand for improvements in safety. Manufacturers have an economic interest in achieving safe products where the market demands them, such as in the consumer automobile industry. Litigation regarding an alleged safety defect that has not resulted in any physical injury consumes resources that manufacturers might otherwise invest in product research and development, thereby hindering efforts to advance safety.

 

Broader societal costs may exist as well. For instance, an unanticipated increase in the litigation risks to which corporations doing business in the Commonwealth are exposed could operate as a disincentive to economic growth . . . .�

 

Stay tuned for the verdict.

It is true that the Iannacchino plaintiffs have been able to use their vehicles and have not suffered any direct injury. Assuming a defect exists in the door latches, however, it is also true that the Iannacchino plaintiffs face an elevated risk of injury every time they go for a drive. Does that elevated risk mean they can sue under the stateâ??s Consumer Protection Act? Stay tuned for the SJC ruling, expected in June 2008.

The Boston Terrier dog originates from the United States and is sometimes called the American Gentleman. The reason for this nickname, besides its gentle and loving manner, is due to its markings that make the Boston Terrier dog look as if it is wearing a little tux. The coat of the Boston Terrier is usually black, brindle or seal with white markings that cover the chest, muzzle, neck and about half of the forelegs.

The Boston Terrier is not a lapdog although it has a small build. It is studier and more compact than most lapdogs. Although it was originally bred as a fighting dog it has lost any aggressive traits that it might have originally possessed as it was then bred as a companion dog. Boston Terriers are excellent companions as they are very loving and enjoy being with people. It is this part of their personality that makes the Boston Terrier ideal for families.

A Boston Terrier dog is a very sensitive dog an it is especially attuned to its owner’s moods and feelings. Although it is a sociable dog and will generally get along well with all people in your house, your Boston Terrier may show a particular affinity to one person in the house. They are great companion dogs for the elderly and are very well suited to someone who is older and less active.

Each Boston Terrier is different; each has its own personality. There are high-energy Boston Terriers and there are less active ones who love to nap and cuddle rather than run around. Most Boston Terriers only bark when necessary making them good alarm systems but of course they are not guard dogs because of their size. Some Boston Terriers can be stubborn and you will need patience when training them. Never be harsh with your Boston Terrier when training, be loving and firm for the best results.

If you want the best Boston Terrier dog possible then you should always buy your puppy from a reputable breeder. A reputable breeder is not in it for the money. Inspect your breeder’s premises, is it clean, are the dogs well cared for? Ask how many times a year the bitches have litters. If the breeder seems like they are trying to get as many puppies as possible from the one dog then you should avoid buying.

Irresponsible breeders don’t care about inbreeding or weak genetic pools and produce dogs that have health problems characteristic of the breed. A responsible breeder minimizes the chances of this happening. An irresponsible breeder also produces neurotic puppies that are aggressive and prone to incessant yapping. Poor breeding practices can even lead to retarded dogs when dogs are born with a skull defect that stunts brain growth. Find a good breeder and you will have the best puppies.

DATELINE:  BOSTON, MA…

Attorney Greg D. Peterson, prominent for his role in shepherding complex brownfields and redevelopment projects throughout New England, has become a partner at Tarlow, Breed, Hart & Rodgers, P.C. of Boston, MA.

Peterson, who was most recently a partner at the global firm of DLA Piper, was also formerly affiliated with Hill and Barlow.  His legal practice focuses on five core areas: environmental impact review and permitting, the purchase and sale of contaminated properties including brownfields redevelopment, hazardous materials response advice, complex property use, development and structuring agreements, and the negotiation and closing of commercial real estate loan facilities and workouts.

Attorney Jeffrey P. Hart, a founding member of Tarlow, Breed, Hart & Rodgers, welcomed Peterson to the firm stating, “The breadth and depth of Greg’s legal experience will enhance the scope of legal services offered through the Real Estate Department of Tarlow, Breed, Hart & Rodgers, providing existing and future clients with the value added opportunity to secure seasoned legal counsel on projects involving complex real estate, environmental permitting and multifaceted land reclamation components.  Our firm’s size (22 Lawyers) will also provide Greg’s existing clients with significant increased value for the same high quality legal services.”

Peterson has significant experience in both the private and not-for profit sectors and has received accolades from many quarters. He is a co-recipient of the 2005 Public Affairs Award from the Massachusetts chapter of NAIOP (the commercial real estate development forum) for the work that produced the Smart Growth Overlay Zoning and school funding Act (MGL Chapters 40R and 40 S) and its implementing regulations. Smart Growth principles encourage well-planned development that protects open space and farmland, revitalizes communities, keeps housing affordable, and provides more transportation choices. He was also recognized by NAIOP for his instrumental role in drafting and working toward passage of the Expedited Permitting Act in 2006, and the Act Restoring the Landlocked Tidelands Exemption from Licensing in 2007.

Repeatedly cited in Best Lawyers in America, Peterson has provided environmental legal advice on many high profile projects including Kendall Square, a 10-acre mixed used redevelopment on a heavily contaminated former manufactured gas plant site adjacent to MIT that won EPA’s 2006 Phoenix Award for best Brownfield redevelopment in the United States. He was also instrumental in advancing MEPA clearance for the construction of Langwood Commons, a mixed-use residential and office redevelopment in Stoneham, MA, that had become mired for a decade in the environmental review process. Peterson also expedited the permitting of Edgewood, the first major 40R smart-growth project brought to market in Massachusetts, encompassing a 400-unit residential apartment complex on a portion of a former state hospital property in North Reading, MA.

Peterson, who received his B.A. magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from Columbia University and his J.D. cum laude from Harvard Law School, is a member of Massachusetts Bar. He serves on the National Board of Directors of NAIOP and as Co-Chair of NAIOP’s Massachusetts Growth Committee. He is also a member of the Boston Bar Association and is a past President of the Real Estate Bar Association for Massachusetts.

Peterson, a native of Montana, is a resident of Carlisle, MA where he has actively served in a number of capacities over the years. He is currently a Trustee of the Town of Carlisle Affordable Housing Trust, a past Trustee of the Carlisle Conservation Foundation, and a former elected member and past Chairman of the Carlisle Planning Board. Peterson is also a recipient of the 1999 Conservationist of the Year award from the Town of Carlisle.  Greg is active in open space and agricultural preservation.

Majority of people think that it is very easy to find Boston terrier dogs for sale. However, the fact is that the best way of finding finest breeds of Boston Terrier puppies is searching at the breeding centers instead of checking the classifieds. So, the process can not be an easy one. Here are some tips of getting the best puppy of this strain.

Where to Go?

Nowadays many Boston terriers are bred by the puppy-farms. Most of these farms survive only on breeding and selling pet dogs. Some also describe these places as the breeding land of animal-cruelty. The little pups are separated from the mothers the moment they are mature enough for selling.

Other than this, problems like mal nutrition and bad health are common features for most of these Boston terrier puppies. Cost cutting procedure and sense of profit create worst environments for the new born puppies.

However, you will also come across breeders who really care for their dogs. It is always better to get the Boston terrier puppies for sale from them. This will minimize worries about the health of the puppy. Another vital reason behind going for the reliable breeders is genetics. Let us know more about finding a perfect breeder.

How to Select the Right Breeder?

If you buy the terrier for sale from a general puppy-farm or an insensitive breeder, the deal may not be the perfect one. The sole thing they care about is money. They are satisfied only with the attractive looks of the puppies for sale.

On the other hand, when they are purchased from a caring and concerned dog breeder, you can be assured of getting the best. They know that gene is more important than the physical appearances of dogs. Gene is the chief determining factor for the temperament of all dog breeds.

Always keep in mind that the dog for sale must be compatible to your temperament. You may get attracted to the cutest puppy, but never go for it just because it looks good. Find a dog that suits your personality. Select the breeder who is more interested in your qualities than the money you will be paying for the Boston terrier puppy.

Select the breeder who takes time to understand whether you are the right person for his dog or not. Never go for a seller who is not interested in the well being of the puppies. They will not look back when your puppy will be trouble.

Ask for proper documentation before buying the dog, this will guarantee the nicest deal. You will get to know about the lineage of your puppy and many more information from these documents.

All these jobs are not very easy to perform, but if you have the right intent, things will become different for you. The daunting tasks of travelling around in search of the right breed of Boston terrier for sale will turn into some meaningful experiences if performed in the correct approach. Follow all the tips discussed above and make the process simpler.

The Boston terrier is a well-muscled and compact breed. This is not really surprising since the Boston terrier was first bred by people who wanted to use them in dog fights. Now some people may read all sorts of implications from such a violent past. Some people might think that the Boston terrier dog would make a bad pet because of its aggressive nature. However, you should know that as a pet, the Boston terrier can actually be pretty mild mannered.

The temperament of the Boston terrier can be described as enthusiastic as it often loves to play. Most people comment that the Boston terrier actually has a great sense of humor. Another characteristic that people find delightful with this breed is the fact that they are intelligent and are very much easily trained. This fact is also enhanced by the dog’s natural curiosity and love for learning.

Of course, people who own pets know the importance of training. Having a well-behaved pet increases the enjoyment for you both. Having a well-behaved pet means that you can have more fun with that pet.

One thing that owners have noticed with a Boston terrier is the fact that it can be very sensitive to the tone of a person’s voice. This may be described as a sort of emotion detector. Because of this sensitivity to the tone, a Boston terrier will be able to respond to how you are feeling when you are talking. This means, however, that you need to take care when training your dog. You need to make sure that anger and frustration do not find their way into your voice.

They also make excellent watchdogs as they do not bark indiscriminately. This means that you won’t wake up in the middle of the night because your Boston terrier saw a butterfly. There are some cases, though, when a Boston terrier will not bark at all.

Regarding the living conditions, Boston terriers can do well enough without a yard as long as they get regular exercise. This means that they are suitable for apartment living. However, you should also know that they are very sensitive to the extremes of weather. This means that you should keep it in a place that’s neither too hot nor too cold.

Unlike other terrier breeds, the Boston terrier is an average shedder. This means that you should be wary of keeping it indoors as it can shed fur over your floor. We all know how much of a fiasco that can be.

Bostons have a variety of common health problems. They easily get overheated when they are pushed too hard. As said before, they can also be sensitive to extreme weather and any weather that’s too hot or too cold can leave them with breathing difficulties. Skin tumors and heart tumors are very common with this breed. So you need to bring the dog to a vet regularly.

Another disorder you should watch out for is a skull defect. If a Boston terrier is badly bred, it often develops a bone defect that prevents the brain from growing. This, naturally, will lead to a retarded dog.
