“That's taxpayer’s money that is going to support research and development and pilot projects to develop a food system that is based on environmental destruction and greed and disregard for animals, fish, and any of the other marine mammals that might be around it.” - Andrianna Natsoulas Andrianna Natsoulas is the campaign director for Don't Cage Our Oceans, an organization that exists to keep our oceans free from industrial fish farms. Offshore finfish farming is the mass cultivation of finfish in marine waters, in underwater or floating net pens, pods, and cages. Offshore finfish farms are factory farms that harm public health, the environment, and local communities and economies that rely on the ocean and its resources. Don’t Cage Our Oceans are a coalition of diverse organizations working together to stop the development of offshore finfish farming in the United States through federal law, policies, and coalition building. And, although it is not yet happening, right now the US Administration and Congress are promoting this kind of farming, which would be nothing short of disastrous for the oceans, the planet and the people and animals who live here. dontcageouroceans.org…

When they launch a business, most founders don’t have selling on the top of their mind. But when it comes time to consider the future – for themselves, the company, and employees – an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plans) can be a win-win. “A lot of founders would say, ‘I'm not ready to sell the company.’ But the beauty about the ESOP is that it can create a market for the sale of your shares … and you control the timing,” explains Bill Merten , a partner in Krieg DeVault ’s ESOP Practice. In breaking down that beauty with Krieg DeVault colleague and host George Lepeniotis , Bill outlines the flexibility and financial benefits of ESOPs versus traditional sale options like private equity or strategic buyers. He describes the unique advantages to employee beneficiaries as well as founders and details how an ESOP is structured and financed.

As Dan says: “You have to become aware that somebody may be infringing, whatever that is – a copyright, trademark, or a patent.” Tune in for their insights, and stay to the end for Dan’s joke about an “ant farm” trademark.

1 Indiana Construction Law: Guiding Commercial Contractors on Securing Payment – Mechanic’s Liens, Part 3 20:15
For commercial contractors with projects valued in the tens, hundreds, or millions of dollars, getting paid is where the “rubber hits the road.” A mechanic’s lien can be a vehicle for securing payment – but it doesn’t automatically turn into dollars. In the last installment of this series on mechanic’s liens in Indiana, Blake Holler and Chris Bloomer , attorneys in Krieg DeVault’s Construction Law Practice , provide a high-level overview to guide commercial clients on what to expect on their path to payment. As they explain to host George Lepeniotis , a mechanic’s lien is a piece of paper, a first step toward preserving the right to get paid, but not the “end all, be all.” For contractors with state construction projects, Blake and Chris discuss the main tool available to enforce payment: the Little Miller Act. Finally, they offer tips for contractors, starting with “organization is key.” “You need to keep track of your invoices. When are payments due, what work was done? When did you start, when did you finish? Keeping track of all of those things is going to be the easiest way for you to not accidentally trip over yourself and lose a substantial right in the mechanic’s lien to enforce payment quickly,” Blake says.

"“The Department of Labor estimates that the increased income thresholds for exempt status beginning on July 1, 2024 and January 1, 2025 and adjusting in the future will impact up to 4.3 million workers. That’s why the time is right for employers to scrutinize what this new rule means for their budgets and workforce.”," says chair of Krieg DeVault ’s Labor and Employment Practice Shelley Jackson . Shelley joins Krieg DeVault colleague and host George Lepeniotis to outline the legal risks. “If someone is improperly classified as an exempt worker under one of these standards, but does not actually qualify, it can lead to significant wages, penalties, and attorney fees,” she explains. Shelley puts the legal landscape into perspective by describing the statutory framework that governs minimum wage and overtime and the three types of employees who are typically exempt.

Digging deeper into the nuances of mechanic’s liens in Indiana, Blake and Chris explore the property that can be the subject of a lien, who can record a lien, and under what circumstances to record a lien.

A construction site is a very complicated place. There’s a number of stakeholders and participants that can create both liability and risk. In this episode of the Krieg DeVault Podcast Series , Krieg DeVault attorney, George Lepeniotis speaks with colleagues Blake Holler and Chris Bloomer , attorneys in the Construction Law Practice . While some aspects of construction law look like the “Wild West,” much of the practice area is governed by statutory law. The trio discuss the importance of American Institute of Architects (AIA) documents, the standardized contracts that are foundational for many construction projects. While AIA documents can be important starting points, lawyers are still able to negotiate the specifics of contracts based on the needs of the project. Ultimately, these highly specialized construction contracts serve to prevent future litigation. Blake and Chris also begin a discussion about mechanic’s liens, which are governed by the hyper-technical Indiana Mechanic’s Lien Act, which will be the focus of future podcasts.
