Are You Sure You Have Enough Home, Auto, And Recreational Vehicle Insurance to Protect Your Family?

Posted on January 9, 2024February 19, 2026 By Jay Young No Comments on Are You Sure You Have Enough Home, Auto, And Recreational Vehicle Insurance to Protect Your Family?

Many homeowners or car owners are shocked, after an accident, to find that their insurance does not pay for all of their losses (or those of someone they injured), or in some cases, even most of their losses.

How Much is Enough?

Whether you have the right amount and type of coverage may well depend on the amount of assets you have to protect. If you make $30,000 a year and rent an apartment, $100,000/ $300,000 coverage may suffice.

Are They Employees or Independent Contractors?

Posted on January 9, 2024February 3, 2024 By Jay Young No Comments on Are They Employees or Independent Contractors?

With challenges to the economy, companies are looking for every way possible to save money. A potential risk for employers is to mischaracterize an employee as an independent contractor, which may save payroll taxes in the short term but may lead to penalties on such taxes as well as other inadvertent violations of worker’s compensation laws,…

Posted on January 9, 2024February 3, 2024 By Jay Young No Comments on A Primer On Nevada Business Formation: Three Popular Entities And How To Structure Them

open-sign

What Type of Entity Should You Form?

Some of the most frequent questions that we receive from clients revolve around entity selection for conducting different types of businesses.  One aspect involves governance and authority.  The issue of governance and authority is important because it determines who has the legal authority to bind the company to contracts and to act on behalf of the company.

The three most popular types of entities are corporations, limited liability companies, and limited partnerships. There are others, however, that might be better suited to your needs.

Can an Arbitrator be Removed During the Pendency of an Arbitration?

Posted on July 17, 2018January 9, 2024 By Jay Young

What do you do if you feel that the arbitrator appointed to hear your dispute isn’t providing a fair and impartial atmosphere in which your matter can be heard?  Can you challenge the Arbitrator before he or she makes the final decision in the matter?  What cause is sufficient to have an arbitrator removed?  As is the case with so many questions in the law, the answer is: it depends.  For the most part, parties to an arbitration who feel there is cause to remove an arbitrator are better off if it is a proceeding under the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or JAMS than if it a proceeding governed under the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) or the Revised Uniform Arbitration Act (“RUAA”).
