New Website Design and Introduction to CAS

We hope you are all keeping safe and healthy. We understand that at this time, there is a large amount of uncertainty in the economy, and we are not sure what the new normal will be or when it will arrive.

Last week, if you had visited our website, you might have noticed that it looks a bit different than before. If you haven’t seen the changes yet, please check it out by clicking , HERE . Over the past few months, we have been working on a full redesign of our website to help you better navigate and understand the services we can provide.

In addition to our traditional legal services, we have included a new service designed to help you save money and time while keeping your business safe from legal risks. The new service is our Contract Automation Suite ("CAS," for short), our tech solution for small businesses to protect themselves with robust legal documents on a budget.

With a few clicks of your mouse, you can enter your company's information and generate custom drafts of critical legal documents to protect and drive your business forward. CAS is available in both "a la carte" (in which you only pay for each individual document you generate), or unlimited for $100/month. With the unlimited plan, you can create as many contracts as your business needs, instantly. With both options, you can either take the contract and go, or you can ask us to do a quick review to make sure it fits your situation perfectly.

CAS currently includes:

Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA)
Employee Offer Letter
Employment Agreement
Independent Contractor Agreement
Proprietary Information, Non-Compete, and Non-Solicitation Agreement (PIIA)
Separation Agreement

However, these are not the only contracts we will include in CAS. We are continually working on adding additional legal documents to CAS that will help your business grow and strengthen in this uncertain time.

Received a Notice of Proposed Discipline? 3 Steps Federal Employees Must Take Now

By Adrienne Langmo • April 21, 2026

Receiving a Notice of Proposed Discipline, particularly of a proposed removal, is one of the most stressful experiences a federal employee can face. Whether you work for the Veterans Administration, Internal Revenue Service, Department of Defense, or U.S. Forest Service your career, pension, and livelihood are suddenly on the line. Panic is a natural reaction, but it is not a strategy. If you have been handed proposed discipline, here are three steps you must take immediately. 1. Check Your Deadlines In the federal sector, the clock starts ticking the exact moment you receive your notice. Federal employees typically have only 7 to 14 days to submit a formal response. Missing this strict deadline forfeits your right to defend yourself before a final decision is made. 2. Request the Evidence File Your agency cannot simply fire you without proof. You have the absolute right to review the materials they relied upon to propose your removal. We scrutinize this evidence against a set of aggravating and mitigating factors, often called the "Douglas Factors," to determine if a penalty is appropriate. Often, agencies overreach, and a strong defense can expose that. 3. Secure Your Right to Reply In response to most forms of discipline, you have the right to provide both a written response and an oral reply to the Deciding Official. Having legal counsel on your side ensures your response is strategic, professional, and focused on mitigating the penalty or stopping the disciplinary action entirely. The Takeaway: Federal employment law is a highly specialized field. A general, private-sector employment lawyer often does not know the unique rules, acronyms, or administrative courts governing federal employees. You need counsel with specific experience dealing with federal agencies. At Freeman Lovell, we have our very own experienced Federal employment law practitioner, Adrienne Langmo. If you have received a Notice of Proposed Discipline, don’t navigate it alone—contact Adrienne Langmo today for experienced guidance and help.
