In honor of Women’s History Month, we are proud to spotlight our talented female attorneys at Bernkopf. First up is Brooke Foster, an associate in our real estate and corporate department. Brooke supports partners on a wide range of legal matters including complex multi-million-dollar closings, title matters, and business formation and governance. “Going into law school, I thought I wanted to pursue criminal law. With the guidance of a fantastic mentor in my business classes, I discovered my analytical skills and developed an interest in business law, and after my first semester of law school, I knew contract law would be a key part of my future career. Through insatiable curiosity, continuous dedication to learning, and my mentor’s invaluable guidance, I realized how much I enjoy connecting with different people and helping them navigate their businesses and transactions. Business law allows me to combine my passion for problem-solving with the rewarding opportunity to build strong relationships with clients.” Outside of work, Brooke enjoys spending quality time with her family and her beloved cat, Eggy. She is also passionate about finding ways to give back to her community through different volunteer and mentorship opportunities. “One day, I hope to become a mentor to aspiring attorneys and positively impact someone’s career journey, just as my mentor did for me.” We are proud to have Brooke as part of #TeamBernkopf, and we celebrate her contributions to both our firm and the community. As we honor the achievements of women this month, we look forward to seeing all the ways Brooke and our talented female attorneys continue to make a difference.

Bernkopf attorney Robert Stetson achieved a significant victory for a client in a recent Massachusetts Appeals Court ruling. The court affirmed a lower court decision, validating our client's rightful inheritance and her late husband’s final wishes. This ruling clarifies the legal standards for challenging testamentary capacity in Massachusetts. It underscores the court's requirement for substantial and credible evidence to overturn a testator's mental competence. Beyond the legal victory, this case is a powerful reminder: meticulous estate planning is crucial. Ensure your documents are unambiguous and meticulously documented to protect your legacy and loved ones. Contact us today to review your estate plan.

Bernkopf’s impressive win in the case of McCarthy v. Young was featured in Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly. Lead partner Robert Stetson successfully represented our clients in this challenging legal battle, where the Appeals Court ruled that an offer to purchase was unenforceable because it excluded significant material terms. Bob discusses the importance of this ruling, stating it serves as a “well-reasoned, authoritative reminder” that offers to purchase real estate must include all essential terms to be legally binding. “The law in this area is not new, but the clarity this decision provides, especially in the context of the most-used offer form in the industry, will provide valuable guidance for buyers, sellers, brokers and lawyers for years to come.” Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/ePQZcyQN #Litigation #MassachusettsRealEstate #BernkopfLegal?
