Owning and running a business is as American as apple pie. Everyone has a business idea, to start a new local restaurant or brewery or to create a software consulting firm. Each business is unique and as with many endeavors in life, good legal guidance is invaluable. This program will provide an overview of the legal aspects of starting a business. This program is offered by the Attleboro Area Bar Association and will be presented by attorneys Melinda Kwart and Ben Dowling. Melinda Kwart is a long-time Attleboro resident and local attorney with the Percy Law Group, P.C., located in Taunton, Massachusetts, with office space in Attleboro (mkwart@percylawgroup.com). Ben Dowling is an Attleboro native and North Attleboro resident with his law offices located in Attleboro, right across the street from the Attleboro Public Library (www.benhartdowling.com).
