The Hedge | Brutal Honesty Over Hype Since 2008
June covered California business law fundamentals (PAGA reform, AB5, non-competes, minimum wage, commercial leases, capital raising) mixed with a substantial HOA compliance series (Davis-Stirling assessments, board authority, elections, solar and EV rights, insurance, and governance failures). July continues both threads with deeper dives and emerging topics.
July Business Topics
July will cover: the specific operational differences between managing a California business versus a Texas or Nevada business for entrepreneurs who are considering or have made the migration; advanced LLC operating agreement provisions that most California business owners don’t have but should; the California employment law checklist for businesses approaching 50 employees (where several additional obligations kick in); the business insurance landscape in California and the coverage gaps that create unexpected liability; and the specific financial metrics that California venture capitalists look at when evaluating early-stage companies — relevant whether or not you’re currently raising capital.
July HOA Topics
July’s HOA series will cover: the specific rights of condominium owners versus single-family homeowners in HOA communities; managing neighbor disputes that the association won’t address; the process for proposing and passing CC&R amendments from the member side; ADU rights in HOA communities (a rapidly evolving area); and the specific protections for senior residents in HOA communities under California and federal law.
