Blog Post

Featured in the Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Journal

BMD Partner Scott Heasley recently authored a featured article for the Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Journal. In "Travis and Taylor's Terrible Title Trouble, Trouble, Trouble..." Scott blends pop culture with legal insight, following a fictional Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce as they face title disputes and insurance issues in their new condo. Through their fictional ordeal, Scott explores key ethical challenges insurance defense firms must consider in title claim cases. 

Taylor and Travis (T + T) were finally ready to settle down after years in the spotlight.
They had toured the world many times over, but they were ready to settle down in a cozy condominium in “Bobcat” County, Ohio.

T + T found a condominium they loved. They paid cash (of course) after limited negotiations, but they were savvy enough to have TITLECO Title Company conduct a title search prior to closing. T + T also ponied up for title insurance to ensure the investment in their forever home was protected.

Just a few months later, trouble-trouble-trouble came knocking at their door. As it turns out, the Seller Family that sold them the condo had been feuding for years. Elder Brother was suing his siblings, claiming he held an ownership stake in the condo prior to the sale. He sued several of his siblings and included T + T as co-defendants asserting they only owned half of the condo.

The Secret to a Strong(er) Capital Stack

BMD attended the annual New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) Conference held by Novogradac & Company LLP in New Orleans. The event spotlighted the NMTC program, which encourages private investment in low-income communities through a 39% tax credit over seven years. The complex NMTC structure requires collaboration among qualified businesses (QALICBs), community development entities (CDEs), and investors. With the Fund’s recent double allocation announcement, now is an ideal time for eligible businesses to explore NMTCs to enhance their capital stacks.
