Welcome to Stokes Law Briefs!

Welcome to Stokes Law Briefs, a new blog published by Stokes Lawrence. Named after our well-received in-person client seminars, the new blog is focused on providing the insights you need to make informed decisions.

Each week, our lawyers will provide their thoughts on legal issues important to closely held companies and the individuals and families who run those businesses.

From employment issues, to changes in business regulations, to considerations regarding estate planning, our mission is to serve as a resource for business executives who need to stay up to date on how the law impacts them.

We are launching with posts from our Employment and Estate Planning practices. The Employment post asks the important question, “Is there a difference between what an employer can do and should do?” Estate Planning attorney Jenna Ichikawa provides an update on Washington state transfer tax. 

Watch for upcoming posts from our other practices.

We hope you find this information useful.
