The Net’s Most Wanteds

Buying a new car is work. With so many models to choose from and so many options to pick, it can be a long and drawn out process even before the endless amount of papers are signed and you drive away from the lot.

Your car is new, under warranty and you’re hoping that you’ll be enjoying it for a long time, right? Well, unfortunately, that is not always the way it works out. For some of those unlucky few, their new car will turn out to be a lemon. Not all hope is lost, though. All fifty states now have on their books some version of the new car lemon law that is there for you if you find you need its protection. Your job is to know how to use this law to the best of your ability.

Although the new car lemon law may have differing provisions from state to state, the basic principle of the law is that it protects the new car buyer (that’s you) from purchasing a lemon and being stuck with no options.

The first thing you need to do is figure out if you actually have a case. By doing some research on the laws in your state or hiring a lemon law attorney, you can find out easily enough if your particular situation meets the law’s requirements. If it does, there are some steps that you will need to be diligent about taking so that the law works for you, as it should.

First and foremost, for the new car lemon law to work for you, you need to have everything in writing. Document every repair, every conversation you’ve had about repairs, and obtain and keep every invoice from these repairs. In most states, you need to be able to prove that your car was out of service for at least 30 days out of the year for the law to take effect. Without documentation, this can be very tricky to prove.

It is important, however, to continue to pay your scheduled payments on the vehicle even if you are in the process of using the new car lemon law. The last thing you need is to ruin your credit on top of everything else. This process will take time and can be very frustrating, but keep at it. The end result may be worth the effort.

Defense from the complex procedures and severe punishments involved in DUI(driving under the influence) cases usually requires the expertise of a competent lawyer. The services of a DUI lawyer become all the more imperative if you feel lost and clueless in interpreting these laws. This is not to say that you can not represent yourself, but you must keep in mind drunk driving invites stringent punishment.

In California, fighting a DUI case involves complicated procedures, sentencing and administrative license issues. You must have a clear cut understanding of the rules defined by the National Highway Traffic Administration, and what you can do if your license is suspended. If you don’t feel confident, then opt for a qualified attorney to fight your case. An good attorney will know the state’s DWI laws, how to interpret police evidence and how the state’s Division of Motor Vehicles works.

You will need advice on the California’s driving rules and regulations, as well as how the state’s DMV suspension hearings work. There are complex procedures involved in getting a copy of your driving record, and you may also need to calculate your blood-alcohol level.

A qualified attorney can review the case, find loopholes, have blood tests analyzed independently and negotiate for a lesser charge if convicted. Do not settle for any lawyer. Find someone who has a high success rate in fighting DUI cases. The best way to do this is by visiting local courthouses and speaking with bailiffs, clerks and public defendants. You should also consider hiring an attorney who is a member of the National College for DUI Defense.

Employees are protected from unfair employment practices by several relevant laws. Employment law, also known as labor law, deals with workplace rights and responsibilities for both employees and employers.

The United States Department of Labor administers and enforces nearly 200 federal laws. State laws are specifically administered by the state governments. These laws cover all aspects of the employer/employee relationship(except the negotiation process covered under the labor law and collective bargaining). Employment law covers a very wide range of issues from the job hunt and initial contract to privacy and e-mail policies, taxes, immigration, working hours, wages, legal rights, security issues, leaves, benefits, discrimination and harassment, health and safety and separation. Also, employers have to adhere to several rules and laws.

Employment law is very complex and is continuously changing. Hence, it is better to consult a specialist or a legal advisor before considering legal action in the area of employment law.

Whether it is the employee or the employer, a legal attorney who has specialized in employment law could aptly represent any case relating to employer-employee disputes. Many claims relating to employment law have time limits or deadlines known as “statutes of limitations”. Therefore, it is better to file a claim as soon as possible.

From the employer’s side, most claims are handled by legal experts in their Human Resources department. Companies also outsource a few claims to external lawyers. From the employee’s side, it is very important to choose a good employment lawyer to represent a case against an employer. There are various issues to be considered when selecting an employment lawyer. These include cost, time involved, other alternatives like arbitration or mediation, the extent of involvement required by the person, etc.

Atlanta employment lawyers can be found through a referral service provided by Georgia State Bar Association, the county bar association and other professional law associations. Information is also available in the yellow pages or through search engines like Google and Yahoo on the Internet. You can check advertisements of law firms in magazines and newspapers.

The “rule against perpetuities” is often described as one of the most complicated legal rules ever!

It’s origin stems from the days of feudal England – some say as early as 1680 – when landowners often tried to control the use and disposition of property beyond the grave – a concept often referred to as control by the “dead hand.”

The rule against perpetuities was intended to prevent people from tying up property – both real and personal – for generation after generation. In feudal England, the practice was to put land in trust in perpetuity, with succeeding generations living off the land without actually owning it. The catalyst for this practice was the avoidance of certain taxes which were being levied upon the transfer of land upon the death of the owner. Perpetual trusts avoided the tax, but many people argue that the practice had the deleterious effect of concentrating large amounts of wealth among a few members of society.

The rule against perpetuities, then, was designed to insure that some person would actually own the land within a reasonable period of time after the death of the transferor. To accomplish that result, the rule stated that no interest in property would be valid unless it could be shown that the interest would vest, if at all, no later than 21 years after some life in being at the creation of the interest.

Although the rule appears to be straightforward, it has become one of the most complicated legal rules for this reason: the rule requires, with absolute certainty, that an interest in property will vest no later than 21 years after some life in being at the creation of the interest. If there is any possibility that the interest will not vest during that period, then the gift fails ab initio, i.e. from the time the document creating the interest takes effect. For wills, it is the time of the Testator’s death. For trusts, it is the time the transaction is complete.

Let’s consider a few examples illustrating the application of this rule:

1. John’s will provides that Land A is to be given to the first child of Joseph to reach the age of 21. If Joseph is to have any children at all, they certainly will reach the age of 21 within 21 years after Joseph’s death. Therefore, the gift does not violate the rule against perpetuities.

2. John’s will provides that Land A is to be given to the first child of Joseph to marry. The gift is void under the rule against perpetuities because (a) it is possible that Joseph will have children during his lifetime and (b) if he does, there is no certainty that any of them will marry within 21 years after Joseph’s death.

3. John’s living trust states that, upon his death, his friend Mary has the right to live in his house for her life, then the house is given to Mary’s oldest child. The measuring period is Mary’s life, plus 21 years. Since the gift to Mary’s oldest child will vest, if at all, immediately upon Mary’s death, the gift does not violate the rule against perpetuities.

4. John’s living trust states that, upon his death, his cottage in Vermont will go to the first member of his boy scout troop to earn the eagle rank. The gift is void under the rule against perpetuities because it is possible that no one will earn the eagle rank from his boy scout troop during the lives in being at the time of John’s death, plus 21 years. For one thing, the troop may cease to exist before anyone reaches that rank.

The complexity of the rule against perpetuities is further evidenced by the problem of the unborn widow. Suppose that John, from our examples above, wants to give his property to his son, Joseph, and Joseph’s wife, and then to their children.

The provision in John’s trust or will would look something like this:

To Joseph for life, then to his wife for life, then to Joseph’s children.
This is a reasonable gift upon John’s death, yet it violates the rule against perpetuities.

Let’s suppose that Joseph was married, but had no children, at the time of John’s death. This would mean that Joseph and his wife are Lives in Being. If Joseph’s wife were to die or if Joseph and his wife divorced and if Joseph remarried to someone who was born after John’s death, then Joseph’s new wife could not be a life in being. As such, she could outlive Joseph by more than 21 years and so the transfer to Joseph’s children after the death of Joseph’s wife would be outside the measuring period, thereby violating the rule against perpetuities.

Now suppose that Joseph was not married at the time of John’s death and that Joseph got married afterward. Again, Joseph’s wife would not be a life in being for purposes of applying the rule – and, it’s possible that she could outlive Joseph by more than 21 years, thereby preventing Joseph’s children from vesting in the property within the measuring period.

If you think that the rule against perpetuities is something that does not apply to you, think again. If you have a will or a trust that provides for a contingent beneficiary in the event something happens to the primary beneficiary, the rule against perpetuities comes into play. For this reason, if you have a will or a trust, it probably has a clause addressing this rule. Most are simply entitled, “Rule against Perpetuities.”

In the last few years, many states have moved to either modify the rule or abolish it all together. Part of the reason, of course, is owing to the complexity of the rule itself. But, there is also a growing trend in the country to remove any barriers to the accumulation and perpetuation of wealth, which the rule against perpetuities has been steadfast against for over three hundred years.

With several states abolishing the rule against perpetuities altogether, we now see the rise of estate planning vehicles designed specifically to perpetuate wealth from generation to generation. We’ll take a look at one of the more popular of those vehicles next time.

Next time: the “dynasty trust.”

Heard about the Child Trust Fund? remarkably few appear to have heard of the fact that all newly born babies are given a free £250 voucher from the State to put in a Child Trust Fund. The voucher may be invested in any one of three sorts of CTF account, Stakeholder – a shares-based account thatswaps into cash, a savings account or a shares account. It is a superb chance to prepare for the future needs of a child

Scottish Friendly is an approved provider of the Child Trust Fund The State is eager for people to have access to Stakeholder accounts and this is the form of account that we are supplying. This means that:

Investments are deposited into our Managed Growth Fund, which hopes to provide good growth potential

An investment is made in part in shares to take advantage of potentially higher returns over 18 years,compared to a cash deposit account (although the value of shares can
go down as well as go up whereas capital would be protected in a deposit account)

It comes with a low ‘Stakeholder’ funds charge of just 1.5 percent perannum

At age 18 the young person will receive a lump sum, completely free of Capital Gains and Income Tax under current legislation

It is affordable – extra payments can be placed in the account from only £10

An attractive feature of the Child Trust Fund is that anyone – parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, friends – can give to the Fund to a maximum of £1,200 per year to help boost the child’s Fund (once added, this money may not be withdrawn).

In a nutshell our Stakeholder account offers a good balance between potentially high returns and a reduced level of risk. There is also the additional assurance that our account complies with the Government’s stakeholder criteria. Nevertheless this does not mean that returns are assured or that Stakeholder accounts are appropriate for everyone. Bear in mind that the value of shares in the Managed Growth Fund (where your Child Trust Fund money is held) can decrease as well as rise and is not guaranteed.

Only children who were born on or after 1st September 2002 are authorised to open a Child Trust Fund. If you have children born before the 1st of September 2002 who are not entitled you could consider investing for them with a Child Bond – it’s a tax-free savings plan intended for long-term growth.

It is undoubtedly the case that saving for your son is a rewarding means of preparing for the world to come.

In the recent case, Peregrine Systems Limited v Steria Limited [2005] , a customer wrongly terminated an IT contract with its software supplier and as a result had to pay the supplier £700,000 plus interests – the outstanding balance due to the supplier under the contract.

The defendant, Steria, terminated the agreement with Peregrine Systems alleging that it was entitled to terminate the contract between the parties as a result of delays and commercial misstatements. Steria also claimed damages from Peregrine.

In return, Peregrine brought proceedings against Steria for money owed under the contract. Initially, the Court held that Peregrine had not committed any breach of contract and that there had been no misstatements. The Court also held that Steria had in any event lost the right to terminate the contract because Steria had, by its conduct, affirmed the contract by continuing to use the software. Steria appealed these decisions.

The Court of Appeal decided against Steria on both as follows:

Due to the wording of the contract Peregrine was only obliged to provide £200,000 worth of services and was not required to fully implement the software. Once Peregrine had provided £200,000 worth of services, there was no obligation to do anything more to complete the project within a reasonable time;

A supplier having to perform “within a reasonable time” does not necessarily mean that the customer can end the contract if this is not done;

Steria had not properly communicated its dissatisfaction to Peregrine; and
Steria continued to use the software and so acted in a manner implying Steria’s wish to affirm the contract.

Comment: This case highlights the importance of contractual parties clearly setting out their rights and responsibilities when entering into an IT contract. Furthermore, parties should act properly when dissatisfied with goods or services and analyse contractual documentation carefully before deciding to terminate an IT contract.

I know it has happened to you at least once. It happened to me twice. Once when I backed up in the middle of the street and the second time when I had an expired registration sticker on my car. Yes, yours truly has been pulled over. And I’m positive that I am not the only one that has been.

Maybe you have been pulled over because of speeding, running a yellow light or stop sign. But are you aware of your rights when you get pulled over?

When the sirens wail
You’re flying on the highway, wind blowing on your face and don’t realize that you may have went above the speed limit. While you are basking in the sun, to your surprise, a state trooper car emerges from its hiding place. You:

a.) gun it. You’re sure you can out run him. They do it all the time on that television show Cops.
b.) slow down to a stop and then speed off when the officer is walking toward your car.
c.) pull over calmly as soon as you safely can, using your turn signals to pull all the way over to the right side of the road.

I really hope you chose the answer C. By stopping as soon as you can and calmly, you will probably be on the better side of an otherwise irritate cop.

Pulled over
Now you’re on the side of the road and waiting for the officer to come to your window. “When being stopped, remain calm, keep your hands on the steering wheel in plain view. Only move when told to do so,” advises Connecticut State Police Sgt. J. Paul Vance. Many officers have been hurt or killed during a routine traffic stop so don’t do anything to make them nervous by going into your glove compartment, even though you may know the drill already and are reaching for your insurance card and registration. The officer may think that you are reaching for a weapon.

If you’re ever pulled over by an unmarked vehicle and the “officer” is not in uniform, “you may request a uniformed officer to respond to the scene. Keep your windows up and your doors locked until you are satisfied that the officer is in fact a police officer,” says Sgt. Vance. You can also call 911 in this case as well.

Speaking with the officer
Don’t give the officer any back talk. In fact, it is recommended that you don’t speak at all. Let the officer speak first instead of asking the officer what you did or what’s their problem. Don’t insist they tell you what you did first before you hand over your liscense and vehicle registration either.
When asked questions like: “Do you know why I stopped you?” It is better to give a definitive answer. If they tell you what they think you did, don’t argue. Instead, shut up! You have that right and you don’t run the risk of saying something that will be used against you if you fight the ticket or get arrested.

Here’s something you may not have known: traffic cops are taught to decide before they leave their car whether they are going to give you a ticket or give you a warning. They are just acting like they care about your plight when they have already decided to ticket your butt. What they are really doing, while they seem interested in what excuse you are giving, is trying to see if they can get you to admit guilt. Sgt. Vance says the only reason an officer would change their mind is if you were speeding for a medical emergency or a woman was in labor.

Just say no! (well, only if you are positive)
If you are stopped and the officer asks to search your car, you have the right to say no. The officer has to have a reasonable suspicion you’ve done something wrong or are a danger to the public. So don’t give them a reason by bending down, or looking like you are hiding something when they are approaching your car.

They can only search your car without your permission:
• if they suspect you are hiding something.
• you or any occupants in the car have been arrested.
• if you have something illegal in plain view, such as open wine or beer bottles or drugs, or weapons of any kind.

If you are sure that you have nothing in the car then by all means allow the search. But if you share your car with someone then you may want to decline because who knows what they may be doing with the car without your knowledge.

REPORTING DECISIONS THROUGH FEBRUARY 3, 2006

PENNSYLVANIA STATE COURT DECISIONS

1. CAUSES OF ACTION

1.1. Civil Remedies For Violations of State Constitutional Rights

► Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania ♦ Jones v. City of Philadelphia No. 795 C.D. 2004 (January 25, 2006)

Holding: A city or other local government is not liable for monetary damages under Article I, Section 8 of the Pennsylvania Constitution for a claim of excessive force. Of note is the en banc Court’s finding that the plaintiff failed to show that his rights against governmental use of excessive force were not sufficiently protected by the Fourth Amendment. Judge Smith-Ribner filed a dissenting opinion, in which she was joined by Judge Friedman.

1.2. Motor Vehicles Claims – Uninsured Motorist Actions

► Superior Court of Pennsylvania

♦ Pantelis v. Erie Insurance Exchange 2006 PA Super 1 (January 4, 2006)

Holding: An automobile insurer’s acknowledgement of “reasonable proof” that a party is entitled to first party benefits does not preclude the insurer from later disputing whether the insured is “legally entitled to recovery” of third party benefits in an uninsured motorist claim pursuant to 75 Pa.C.S.A. 1731(b). The Court notes that the payment of medical bills under Section 1716 can be “triggered by something as simple as submission of a bill from a medical provider,” whereas the “legal entitlement to recovery of uninsured motorist benefits … is based on the wrongful conduct of a third party.”

2. CIVIL PROCEDURE

2.1. Pre-Trial Procedure

► Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania

♦ Wheeler v. Red Rose Transit Authority No. 874 C.D. 2005 (January 27, 2006)

Holding: A petition to reinstate a case dismissed under Pa. R.Civ.P. 230.2, filed more than 30 days after the termination order, will be granted only if there is a “reasonable explanation or a legitimate excuse” for the failure to file (1) the statement of intention and (2) the petition to reinstate within 30 days of its termination.

2.2. Professional Negligence Actions

► Superior Court of Pennsylvania

♦ Varner v. Classic Communities Corp. 2006 PA Super 2 (January 6, 2006)

Holding: A Certificate of Merit is required for professional liability actions, including those against architects. Although a Complaint may attempt to characterize a claim as sounding in ordinary negligence or negligence per se, because the claim is against a licensed professional, the plaintiff must file a Certificate of Merit. When a plaintiff fails to file the requisite Certificate of Merit, a judgment of non pros is warranted under Pa. R.Civ.P. 1042.1-1042.8.

2.3. Trial Practice (Voir Dire)

► Superior Court of Pennsylvania

♦ Capoferri v. Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia 2006 PA Super 16 (January 31, 2006)

Holding: A trial court commits reversible error by denying counsel’s request to ask prospective jurors certain questions during voir dire about their knowledge of or perspective about the alleged medical malpractice crisis, and the alleged flight of physicians from Philadelphia, in particular. The Court notes that its Opinion does not endorse any of the questions proposed by the plaintiffs and, instead, states that the trial court should have asked prospective jurors appropriate preliminary questions designed to detect whether any of the prospective jurors had been exposed to tort reform and/or medical negligence propaganda.

3. UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION

3.1. Willful Misconduct

► Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania

♦ ATM Corp. of America v. Unemployment Compensation Board of Review No. 1560 C.D. 2005 (January 23, 2006) Holding: An accounting department employee, who processes checks in and out of an employer’s multimillion dollar account and who refuses to authorize a background check, is properly terminated for willful misconduct and is not entitled to unemployment compensation benefits.

4. WORKERS’ COMPENSATION (ALL COMMONWEALTH COURT CASES)

4.1. Calculation of Self-Employment Income

♦ Acme Markets, Inc. v. Workers’ Compensation Appeal Board (Brown) No. 1174 C.D. 2005 (January 3, 2006)

Holding: In determining a claimant’s earning power, a Workers’ Compensation Judge may consider a claimant’s net income from self-employment, and is not required to rely solely upon the claimant’s gross income. The ultimate determination must be based upon all evidence, including claimant’s testimony and other sources.

4.2. Medical Expenses – Replacement of Orthopedic Appliances and Similar Items

♦ Zuback v. Workers’ Compensation Appeal Board (Paradise Valley Enterprise Lumber Co.) No. 1173 C.D. 2005 (January 9, 2006)

Holding: Although the Workers’ Compensation Act requires an employer to provide home modifications at the employer’s expense, such modifications are limited to a one-time expenditure. The replacement of an orthopedic device, including a stair glide, is not an additional modification, however, and an employer is obligated to pay for such costs, which are the result of “wear and tear.”

4.3. Retirement/Voluntary Withdrawal from the Workforce

♦ Hepler v. Workers’ Compensation Appeal Board (Penn Champ/Bissel, Inc.) No. 1727 C.D. 2005 (January 11, 2006)

Holding: Disability benefits should be suspended when a claimant leaves the workforce. For disability compensation to continue following retirement, a claimant must show that he or she is seeking employment after retirement or that he or she was forced into retirement because of the work-related injury. When a claimant is forced into retirement because of a work-related injury, the claimant must show that he or she was forced out of not only the pre-injury job, but the entire labor market, or that the claimant continues to actively seek employment.

♦ Blong v. Workers’ Compensation Appeal Board (Fluid Containment) No. 1569 C.D. 2005 (January 19, 2006)

Holding: A claimant who moves permanently to New Zealand has removed himself from the workforce, and an employer is entitled to a suspension of benefits.

4.4. Supersedeas Fund Reimbursement

♦ ConocoPhilips v. Workers’ Compensation Appeal Board (Logan) No. 515 C.D. 2005 (January 19, 2006)

Holding: An employer is not entitled to Supersedeas Fund reimbursement for a “deemed denial” of a request for supersedeas. Once a claimant receives an award of a lump sum payment for retroactive compensation or specific loss benefits and that award is later reversed or modified, the claimant is not required to repay that money. Instead, an employer must resort to repayment from the Fund, provided supersedeas was denied prior to disbursement of the funds to the claimant.

FEDERAL COURT DECISIONS OF INTEREST

5. JURISDICTION

5.1. Diversity Jurisdiction – Banks

► U.S. Supreme Court

♦ Wachovia Bank v. Schmidt No. 04-1186 (January 17, 2006)

Holding: Although “All national banking associations shall … be deemed citizens of the States in which they are respectively located,” pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1348, for purposes of determining citizenship for diversity purposes under 28 U. S. C. 1332, a national bank is a citizen of the state in which its main office is located, as set forth in its articles of association.

6. MOTOR VEHICLE INSURANCE

6.1. Bad Faith Claims

► U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Pennsylvania

♦ Harris v. Lumberman’s Mutual Casualty Co. No. 05-CV-5228 (January 23, 2006)

Holding: Pennsylvania’s bad faith statute, 42 Pa. C.S.A. 8371, conflicts with the Motor Vehicle Financial Responsibility Law as to the remedies available under 75 Pa. C.S.A. 1716 and 1797. Because the MVFRL is the more specific statute, it preempts the bad faith statute. In particular, the special provision, section 1797, preempts the bad faith statute, and a claim for statutory bad faith arising from the denial of first party medical benefits will be dismissed. Because section 1716 and the bad faith statute impose different remedies for different degrees of culpable conduct, i.e., unreasonable conduct under section 1716 and bad faith conduct under section 8371, the statutes are reconcilable. Accordingly, section 1716 does not preempt the bad faith statute and a claim for statutory bad faith arising from a carrier’s denial of a claim for lost wages benefits will not be dismissed.

Though much has been said about the benefits of calcium found mainly in dairy products, the truth is that a large part of the world doesn’t depend on dairy products for its calcium intake but on plants. Few people know that calcium is present in all foods in varying quantities. For instance, dark green leafy vegetables such as broccoli, collard greens, kale, bok choy and dandelion greens and okra and sweet potatoes are as rich in calcium as fruit including oranges, pears, raisins, prunes, apricots, dates and dried figs. In fact, just one cup of broccoli is equal in calcium content to a quarter of the recommendations of the U.S.RDA.

Rich deposits of calcium are also found in a variety of nuts and seeds such as chestnuts, Brazil nuts, hazelnuts, filberts, and sesame seeds, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds. Fish and seafood such as salmon, mackerel, sardines, flounder, shrimp, clams and oysters are high repositories of calcium. They include. Besides, calcium is also found in amaranth, quinoa, oats and barley; and in peas, beans, soy products, seaweeds, sprouts and blackstrap molasses. Alfalfa, cayenne, chamomile, kelp and lemongrass are some herbs rich in calcium.

Foods such as turnip greens, spinach, almonds, cashews, rhubarb, and beet, though high in calcium, are also high in oxalic acid, which hinders calcium absorption. When such substances come together in the intestines, the resulting insoluble salts cannot be digested. Adding a teaspoon of lemon juice or vinegar to the cooking helps ease the problem.

If you can’t get a continuously good supply of calcium-rich foods, take a calcium supplement with your meals, in powdered form. Give it to your family too but first check the table below for dosages:

Infants: 600 mg/day

Children (up to age 10): 800-1200 mg/day

Adults (up to age 35): 1200 mg/day

The shrewd old Chinese motto has an enormous denotation; the motto illustrated the reality that each & every person identifies with an event to a large extent more if it is watched. Via video production or videography it’s viable to record a series of occasions.

Today in all business presentations, video footage is extensively employed. By utilising video production services it is possible to offer the essential message to quite a lot of different potential consumers to help lure them. Video production at present is employed for numerous jobs; however, several short format online video commercials and brand related presentations are usually developed in order to attain specific company objectives.

Audio video presentations are greatly in style and as a result are used in more or less any sort of corporate activity. Video agencies at the outset usually interact with a certain kind of client or an organisation that are seeking to produce a short format online video commercial, a presentation or a collection of video clips. The full job of video production is regularly carried out by freelancers; nevertheless there are numerous good specialist video production companies around at the moment. Vidify’s business video solutions are focused on maximising your business revenue cost-effectively.
