Davis Malm attorneys Gary M. Feldman and Laurie Alexander-Krom prevailed in a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) arbitration on behalf of an investment banker client disputing an unpaid bonus following his termination. Our client, an investment banker employed at Cowen and Company in Boston, initiated a FINRA arbitration proceeding seeking payment of his earned bonus for 2008. In February 2009, our client was terminated in a reduction in force of approximately 16 other employees. Cowen and Company refused to pay our client his bonus for 2008, claiming that he was no longer an employee when the 2008 bonuses were paid approximately two weeks after his termination. Following a two-day arbitration hearing before a FINRA panel in Boston, our client was awarded 100% of his bonus claim, $145,000.

On August 5, 2010, Governor Patrick signed “An Act Relative to Economic Development Reorganization” (Chapter 240 of the Acts of 2010) that restructures the Commonwealth’s economic development programs. Included in the legislation is the extension of the Brownfields Tax Credit until 2013, two years beyond its original expiration. The program provides rebates for eligible environmental response costs, offered in the form of tax credits. It is generally considered the most effective in the country. The credit is 50% of eligible costs without an “Activity and Use Limitation” (AUL) restriction and 25% if there is one. Monies spent as far back as August of 1998 qualify for the credit. Developers, commercial businesses, property owners, and even non-profits may be eligible and may receive and sell credits. Extending the program removes the uncertainty of future funding for many remediation projects in the Commonwealth.
