Non-compete, non-solicitation, and confidentiality agreements or separate clauses in employment agreements are common in hiring situations.

I’m establishing an LLC in just my name, would it be a good strategy to put all our personal bank accounts and investments in my wife’s name?

Jun 17, 2014 By Bill Wortman

Personal trusts and other measures can be used to provide additional layers of personal asset protection; however, measures to hide assets from creditors and other parties, for example, can be ineffective due to the courts’ right to reverse transactions under certain circumstances.

We are currently running Windows XP and are considering leasing computers from Mac/Apple, is it worth it?

May 1, 2014 By Bill Wortman

QuickBooks, Office, and other business software for Macs can be purchased; however, other than the efficiencies of Macs with heavy graphics and similar uses, we are not aware of any particular advantage that Macs have over PCs in the area of reliability, speed, life, or long-term cost of ownership.
