jesse_abercrombie1@yahoo.comDallas, TX May 10, 2007- The law firm Scheef & Stone, L.L.P. and Jesse Abercrombie of Edward Jones will present the Construction Advisory Forum, a series of quarterly forums designed for business owners in the construction industry. Each Forum will provide business owners with information and insight on a wide variety of financial, business, tax and legal matters that impact their construction business. Business owners will have the opportunity to network before and after the Forum. Topics will be presented by Mr. Abercrombie and several Partners of Scheef & Stone, including John Scheef, Kelly Massad and Jay Crutcher.
The first Forum will be held June 20th from 12:00-1:30 p.m. at the Hall Office Park Conference Center, located at 2401 Internet Boulevard, Suite 102, Frisco, Texas. There is no charge for the Forum and lunch will be provided. RSVPs are required and should be made with Desira Walls of Scheef & Stone by email at desira.walls@solidcounsel.com or by telephone at 214.472.2100.
Jay Crutcher, a Partner of Scheef & Stone, said “We decided to hold the Construction Advisory Forum to serve the unique needs of the construction industry with the combined expertise and resources of Scheef & Stone and Mr. Abercrombie of Edward Jones.” Jesse Abercrombie of Edward Jones said “My clients don’t always need financial advice, so when they need advice from other professionals my job is to make sure I get them in front of the right people. This is why we believe this Forum series will be such a value-added event for the construction industry. It also will give the business owners the opportunity to network amongst themselves.”
John Scheef and Kelly Massad, Partners of Scheef & Stone, work with every type of business owner and decision-maker involved in the construction industry: developers, owners, contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, equipment companies, design professionals, sureties, insurers, and consulting and management firms. They employ a business-minded approach to counseling clients, assisting with all phases of the project, from design and planning, contract negotiation, preparation and review, bidding, construction, dispute avoidance, claims and dispute resolution. Scheef & Stone construction attorneys have handled multi-million dollar disputes involving bid protests, delay/disruption, acceleration, out-of-scope work, and all other kinds of construction disputes. Additionally, throughout his 29-year legal career, Kelly Massad has represented several Fortune 100 corporations as well as governmental entities in employee-related matters including EEO, Labor Relations, Wage-Hour and Unemployment Compensation. Jay Crutcher’s practice is devoted to business law, tax law and entrepreneur law. He advises business owners in the construction industry on all facets of their business operations, including contract negotiation, business formation and structuring, project management, joint ventures and strategic partnerships, real estate acquisition and development, federal and state tax planning, tax audits and disputes, debt and equity finance, and the purchase and sale of businesses.
