Congratulations to everyone at LLF and Howell Fleming Law firms in Peterborough on their recent merger. Howell Fleming has been practicing law at the same address on Water Street since the 1880's! They will continue to operate from Water Street until Summer 2012 and will then move into an expanded premises at LLF on Aylmer Street. 2012 will see the retirement of senior Howell Fleming Partners Don White, Ed Wood, and John Nichols.

It's a tough go for any business in this day and age. If you're not being undercut by someone from China, you're being overregulated or underappreciated by someone from Canada. I tip my hat to anyone who can pay their taxes and make payroll. I hope you're getting a bit of a rest and I wish you well in 2012. The Farmers have it right when they say "just wait until next year!" |
