LEGAL SERVICES

The Law Offices of Robert F. Shea, Jr. offers over twenty years of legal experience, specializing in several key areas.

• ADMINISTRATIVE: State regulatory agencies such as Consumer Protection, Liquor Control Commission, Revenue Services, Public Health and the professional licensing agencies wield astonishing power. SLI can guide you through the complex world of Connecticut Administrative Law. The number of agencies and types of actions they can take is nearly boundless and timing is crucial in administrative matters. SLI can meet your needs with experienced attorneys at all phases of the process. Whether it’s application for a permit, filing a complaint or defending a grievance or complaint, we can help negotiate the thicket of regulations and pursue a satisfactory conclusion.

• CONTRACTS: The essence of business law is the contract or agreement. However, the concept is very flexible and may include everything from a handshake, an email exchange, a one page letter or a one hundred page document. We can help our clients to decide when a written contract or agreement should be required and negotiate the right type of document for the given circumstances. In any event, we methodically work to have the right combination of provisions for clients, whether involving recitals, covenants, representations, product and service warranties, indemnification, disclaimers, liability or remedy limitations, confidentiality, intellectual property, notice, termination, choice of law, choice of forum, dispute resolution or publicity. Additionally, depending upon the type of business or organization, there are likely to be certain frequent types of contracts or agreements needed. Accordingly, we frequently prepare versions of standard, form, model or template contracts and agreements.

• LEGAL RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS: We provide cost-effective legal research, analysis and writing to both law firms and corporate legal departments in various areas of law, including real estate, insurance law, criminal procedure and corporate law. Our firm performs primary and secondary legal research to assist in your case preparation. SLI can provide the behind-the-scenes research and analysis so that you can direct your time, resources and energy on your clients.

• ETHICS COMPLIANCE: During the past several years, the Connecticut General Assembly has enacted very complex laws in the areas of ethics for lobbyists and state contractors, as well as laws relating to elections and public financing of state political campaigns. SLI can provide advice and guidance on these fast-changing laws. In addition, our can represent individuals and businesses before the Connecticut Office of State Ethics and the Connecticut State Elections Enforcement Commission – now collectively known as the Office of Government Accountability.
