He writes that each has its advantages and limitations, but can effectively be combined to secure the performance of the myriad participants in construction projects of all complexities.

Thousands of slip, trip, missteps and fall accidents and train collisions occur each year at railroad stations, terminals, and
grade crossings resulting in serious injuries causing a significant drain of financial resources.

A paper recently presented at the 2015 Joint Rail Conference provides guidance in identifying common safety hazards and easy ways to reduce or eliminate these dangers. Authors of the paper are Carl Berkowitz, Ph.D., PE and Louis D. Rubenstein, a retired traffic engineer.

The paper covers a variety of safety issues, which are commonly present in a railroad environment. It also provides estimates regarding the cost of railroad related pedestrian accidents. More than 95 percent of injuries on rail system injuries are minor. The top one percent of injury claims can account for 20 percent of the total claims’ cost.

The amount of information businesses require to operate has grown substantially in recent years, Merrill says.

The paper, “Three steps to excellence in information governance,” is designed to help you along your path of building an information governance policy and choosing a contract management system that will comply with your company’s policy needs.

Noted white-collar and general criminal defense lawyer John R. Teakell of Dallas is a featured author in a new book highlighting trends in state and federal criminal defense law along with thoughtful guidance to defendants needing legal help.

Teakell is one of 10 respected attorneys nationwide selected to contribute a chapter for “A Cup of Coffee with 10 of the Top Criminal Defense Attorneys in the United States.” In his chapter, Teakell outlines state and federal statutes and describes similarities and differences in investigations and procedures in the two systems.

“A Cup of Coffee with 10 of the Top Criminal Defense Attorneys in the United States,” is designed to provide practical information for people who need to know more about the criminal justice system and legal representation. The work debuted in March 2015 on Amazon.com and has been among the top sellers in the criminal defense law genre. Royalties from the book are being donated to Kiwanis International, a nonprofit organization that works with children in the United States and throughout the world.

“It can be overwhelming for people to find themselves in the criminal justice system for the first time,” Teakell says. “There are certain decisions that have to be made quickly, and there can be so much at stake. I’ve seen from experience how providing information can empower individuals to make better decisions.”

Teakell’s criminal law expertise has allowed him to serve as an expert source for local and national media, including the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Los Angeles Times, NBC Nightly News and many others. Forbes and Times magazines have named him among the nation’s top white-collar defense practitioners, while the National Association of Distinguished Counsel has honored him among the top one percent of attorneys in the United States. In addition, Teakell is a repeat honoree on the annual Texas Super Lawyers list.

In a release, the firm says the Law Office of John R. Teakell represents companies and individuals in a variety of white-collar and other criminal defense matters, including grand jury proceedings and internal investigations involving allegations of fraud, bribery, embezzlement, insider trading, stock option backdating, tax evasion, computer crimes and public corruption.

A black teacher and coach has won a major victory in his racial discrimination and retaliation lawsuit against the Frisco, Texas, Independent School District following a ruling from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

In a ruling issued June 15, the 5th Circuit found that the former history teacher’s claims were valid under both federal and state law, and should be heard by a jury. The ruling overturned a 2014 summary judgment issued by the U.S. District Court in Sherman that dismissed the case in the school district’s favor.

“Alvin Jackson, who taught world history along with being a basketball and track coach, filed a suit against the Frisco school district in 2012, saying his contract was not renewed because he complained about discrimination and racial hostility at the high school,” reported The Dallas Morning New. “He was the only black coach and core subject teacher at the campus then.”

The Kendall Law Group represented Jackson.

Parties to maritime contracts frequently include requirements that one or the other party or both of them will use their “best efforts” to perform duties described in the contract, but sometimes it’s unclear what the phrase “best efforts” actually means to them and what a court will say it means should a dispute arise.

Robert Stefani of King, Krebs & Jurgens, PLLC has written a paper describing the practice and discussing two approaches that are evident in the relevant case law. JD Supra Business Advisor posted the article.

He writes that including “best efforts” provisions in a maritime contract can be a good practice, but only if the contract includes guidelines as to what constitutes the party’s “best efforts.”

Dallas family law firm VernerBrumleyMcCurley PC, devoted solely to divorce law, announces that Robert A. Emerson has joined the firm as an associate.

Emerson has extensive experience in negotiated and mediated settlement agreements, child custody contests and the division of complex marital estates, the firm said in a release. A native of Amarillo, Texas, he has deep roots in family law. His mother, Sally Emerson, is a prominent Amarillo family lawyer and his father, Don Emerson, is the longtime judge of Amarillo’s 320th District Court, which handles family law matters.

Despite growing up steeped in family law, Emerson had planned to pursue environmental law until he interned at the Resource and Crisis Center of Galveston County, a domestic violence shelter.

“I realized that helping those who can’t help themselves is both important and rewarding work,” he says. “When someone decides to get divorced – or their spouse makes the decision for them – they’re in a difficult place and they need the help of someone who is committed to solving their problems. Now I know why my parents made this their life’s work.”

Jim Mueller, the firm’s managing partner, says Emerson is an ideal addition to VernerBrumleyMcCurley.

“We have been quite happy to learn that the apple did not fall far from the tree,” he says. “Bob is a bright and promising lawyer, and we are thrilled he is bringing his talents to our firm.”

Mr. Emerson earned his law degree, with pro bono honors, from South Texas College of Law in 2013. He earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas at Austin in 2006. He is a member of the Dallas Bar Association, the Collin County Bar Association and the State Bar of Texas Family Law Section. 

VernerBrumleyMcCurley provides concierge-style representation to its divorce clients. “They are available day or night to handle not only legal problems, but also other personal challenges often associated with divorce,” the release says. “With a reputation for excellence, thorough preparation and innovation, and more than 200 years of combined experience, they don’t believe in a ‘one size fits all solution.’ Ultimately, their mission is to help their clients prepare for a better life after divorce.”

For more information, visit VernerBrumleyMcCurley’s website or call 866-363-5907.

Lighthouse eDiscovery, a leader in technology-enabled ediscovery services and consulting, today unveiled its new service organization, Focus Discovery.

Scott J. Fisher

Neal, Gerber & Eisenberg LLP announced today a significant change in firm leadership. Litigation partner Scott J. Fisher will assume the role of managing partner from long-term leader Jerry H. Biederman.

The leadership shift is a significant step in investing in the firm’s future and will be effective Jan. 1, 2016, allowing for a planned transition for Fisher, 43, to assume the new role.

Biederman, 68, has been the only managing partner in the firm’s history and will remain active with the firm he helped found nearly 30 years ago. Since its inception, Neal Gerber Eisenberg has nearly quadrupled in size and has resisted, by design, the current legal trend of dramatic growth for the sake of growth.

“What sets Neal Gerber Eisenberg apart is that we retain many of the unique qualities that have been lost in the current law firm merger frenzy,” said Fisher, who will retain his active trial practice. “We have a distinct and compelling value proposition to offer clients. Our firm is positioned to service all of our clients’ needs in an atmosphere that is collaborative, innovative and diverse.”

Fisher said he is committed to focusing on Neal Gerber Eisenberg’s core strengths of intellectual property, strategic litigation, and the representation of middle market businesses and their owners. He is also firmly committed to maintaining the vision of the firm’s founders.

It was this vision that drew Fisher to Neal Gerber Eisenberg almost 10 years ago. “The firm has always enjoyed a sterling reputation as first-rate lawyers and business counselors who handle sophisticated matters as true professionals,” he said. “I look forward to building upon the tremendous foundation that Jerry, our partners and staff have put in place over the past 29 years.”

A diverse range of firm clients have remained committed to that model as well. In 2014, Neal Gerber Eisenberg represented 39 of the Fortune 100 companies and many of the best known private companies. The firm also acts as the trusted advisers to nonprofits, startups, growth companies and entrepreneurs.

Biederman is confident the leadership transition will be seamless.

“I have maintained a close relationship with Scott for nearly 10 years and know we are in good hands with the firm’s next generation of leaders,” said Biederman. “It has been an honor to serve Neal Gerber Eisenberg as managing partner for almost 20 years, and it’s reassuring to work with a successor who is no stranger to firm leadership and management. I respect Scott’s perspectives as a member of the firm’s executive committee and his leadership as chair of our General & Commercial Litigation practice group. I have the utmost confidence in his ability to guide the firm to continued success.”

Fisher received his J.D., with highest honors, in 1996 from Chicago-Kent College of Law and earned his B.A. from The Ohio State University in 1993. An experienced trial lawyer, he has been recognized repeatedly as a leader in the field.

Neal Gerber Eisenberg is a Chicago-based law firm whose attorneys share a culture of teamwork and devotion to personalized client service to advance our clients’ business interests. Our attorneys provide legal business solutions to public and private entities of all types—including Fortune 100 companies, financial institutions, nonprofits and high net worth individuals—in connection with domestic and global business transactions and litigation. Our full service firm is large enough to handle nearly any legal matter throughout the world, yet small enough that clients personally know the attorneys accountable to their matters.

The national law firm of Quarles & Brady LLP has announced that Patricia Spiccia has joined the firm’s Chicago office in its Tax-Exempt Organizations Practice Group.

Cherry and the Honorable Jon E. DeGuilio. During law school, Patricia was a member of the Moot Court Society and an executive editor of the law review.

She earned her law degree from Valparaiso University School of Law, her bachelor’s degree from Indiana University – Bloomington, and her master of laws degree from Georgetown University Law Center.
