October 1, 2024
The Royal Law Firm was a proud sponsor of a symposium hosted by Helix Human Services called “Rise Up: A Journey to Trauma Recovery.” on Monday, September 30, 2024.
This event held by the non-profit organization brought together a variety of professionals in the community including social workers, educators, emergency department officials and other health experts.
There was extensive discussion on how people can heal from traumas including abuse, assault, discrimination, neglect, and violence as well the ways in which the community can support them during these times.
We are proud to support an organization so important and with such a positive impact on our community.
Our attorneys successfully obtained summary judgment in favor of the Defendant from the Massachusetts Appeals Court in a Wage Act and contract dispute. The Complainant alleged entitlement to a substantial variable compensation award following resignation. We demonstrated that the compensation plan made such awards discretionary and contingent on continued employment at the time of payout. The Appeals Court agreed, finding that the award did not constitute wages under the Wage Act and that the Defendant acted lawfully in denying payment. All claims were dismissed in their entirety.
