Believe it or not, summer is here. Although the summertime is normally associated with long sunny days and relaxation, legal and business developments here in the Mid-Atlantic are showing no signs of slowing down.

And, as the next hurricane season approaches, many of us are preparing for the imminent environmental impact and helping business owners recover from damage due to unprecedented weather events. In short, we all have a lot to think about these days. Fortunately, the attorneys of Offit Kurman are here to help.
