I hope this email finds you and your family in good health.  We are now well into our first full Winter month.  We have had our cold days and some snow.  There has been more snow in northern New England ski country.  My hope is that there will be lots of snow in ski country and not so much in Boston and the urban areas.  So, if you are a winter sports enthusiast, I hope there will great winter conditions for skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing or ice fishing the next couple months.  And for those, like me, who prefer the warmth, I hope you will be able to take at least some vacation time to warmer places.

In sports, the Patriots continue their magical season finishing the regular season as division champs and 2nd seed in the AFC, and then two nights ago to win their first playoff game 16-3 over San Diego.  QB Drake May, Coach Mike Vrabel, RB Rhamondre Stevenson, stellar Pats’ defense all shown so well. We can hope this roll will continue and we will see how far the Pats might advance in these 2026 NFL Playoffs  – with the Feb. 2026 Super Bowl in Santa Clara, CA  not beyond the realm of possibility. Fingers crossed.   And even while the Pats have played so well commanding our attention, our Boston winter teams have also been doing well of late.  The Celtics 9-3 in recent games, are 3rd in the Eastern Conference and just behind the Knicks in the Atlantic Division standings.  The Bruins too have won 5 of the last 6 games to also climb in the standings. In college hockey, Boston University has improved of late and February’s Beanpot tournament looks to be quite competitive with all four Beanpot  schools ranked in the USA top 20 (as of 1/12/26), led by Northeastern (12), then Boston College (14), BU (18) and Harvard (20).  https://www.espn.com/mens-college-hockey/rankings

Note on Adelson & Associates, LLC:
* Robert A. Adelson is the Principal of Adelson & Associates, LLC.  For fifteen (15) years, from October 2004 through December 2019, Robert Adelson practiced law and referred legal work to associates of his, trusted and experienced colleagues, as a partner of Engel & Schultz, LLP.  In December 2019, the lead partners of the firm announced they would go into semi-retirement, go their separate ways, and the office lease would expire in January 2020.  In response, Robert Adelson formed Adelson & Associates, LLC in December 2019 and commenced the new firm’s operations on January 1, 2020, with the new firm taking over, on that date and going forward, all current Robert Adelson clients, matters and operations, as well as all referral of legal work to associates of Robert Adelson.  Since 1/1/2020, the firm’s offices have been and remain at 101 Federal Street, 19th Floor, across the street from the pre-2020 offices at One Federal Street, 21st Floor, in Boston’s Financial District.

We are now well into Autumn. Despite some days of Indian Summer, there is now an increasing chill to our days, with Thanksgiving not too far off at the end of this month.
On the sports scene, one could not but marvel at the exiting MLB World Series concluded just after midnight this past Saturday night. I was rooting for the AL’s Toronto Blue Jays who had not been to the Fall Classic in more than 30 years, but it was hard for me to root against NL’s LA Dodgers with their Manager being former Red Sox player Dave Roberts. I was at Fenway Park that fateful October night 21 years ago for the ALCS game 4 vs the Yankees. In my mind’s eye, I can still see Roberts taking huge leads from first and then his dramatic steal of second base against Mariano Rivera to spark the greatest comeback in MLB post-season history that led Boston to the 2004 World Series title, our first in 86 years. But what a Dodgers-Blue Jays World Series game 7 this past Saturday night! The sight for me, was indelible: Dodgers ace starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto summoned by manager Dave Roberts from bullpen with the score tied 4–4, one out in the 9th, with two Blue Jays on base. This, after Yamamoto only the night before, had gone 6 innings and 95 pitches to win game 6. I was just as electrified back in 2001 at the sight also on TV of Randy Johnson coming in 9th inning relief, also on one days’ rest, to win game 7 for the Diamondbacks. Plus thoughts of other legendary starters on in relief in other 7th games — Walter Johnson 1924, Grover Cleveland Alexander 1926. As for Sat night’s game 7, 9th inning and Yamamoto, after a hit batsman and force play at the plate, THE CATCH, spectacular in deep CF to save the Dodgers who would win in extras after still more heroics. Yamamoto went 2-plus innings of scoreless relief for his 3rd series win, and was rightly named Series MVP.

As for our New England sports scene, Sunday was a reality check for our Patriots. The Atlanta Falcons came back but, when needed, the defense got the stops. As important, after some setbacks, Drake Maye too, did what was needed so the Pats managed a 24–23 win. This included the critical last first down pass from QB10 to Hunter Henry so the Falcons got no last chance to win. The win streak remains alive, now at five, pushing New England’s record to 7–2. The team will next go on the road and we remain hopeful. The buzz is back at Foxboro. It’s not the old “Patriot Way” but rather something new — the highly positive vibe emanating from our 1st year Coach Mike Vrabel. As for our winter sports teams, both have had their own small streaks both winning and losing. So, the Bruins are at .500 and the Celtics just below that. Hopefully, things will continue to look up them in November and December and for BU hockey as well in November.

As for Newsletter items, two weeks ago, in IVYEXEC career advancement website, published an article of mine, advising on key protections, equity and other terms to seek to best take advantage of the financial opportunity an IPO can present to you. A link to that new article is featured as item #1. This newsletter also has links, in items #3 and #4, to two other earlier articles of mine both published by CEOWORLD magazine, on two separate subjects of interest to C-level and senior executives. The first discusses an important technique, keeping and using an ace in the hole in your executive contract negotiations. The second article discusses an important duty or implied covenant in the law that can enable you, even if you are an employee “at will”, to have a valid enforceable claim against your employer to be made whole for what you earned and were deprived of. There is also a special offer as item #5. I hope some of these items might be of benefit… and my best wishes to all for the rest of November!

October 2025 Edition

We are now into Autumn with Columbus Day next week (also called Indigenous Peoples Day in Boston) and Halloween the end of this month. Time for foliage viewing, apple picking, raking the leaves, and still lots of outdoor sports, hiking, biking and the like. 

Sadly, there will be no further October baseball for our hometown’s beloved Boston Red Sox. Our club did make the post-season but that meant a best of 3 series, played entirely on enemy turf… in THE Bronx. The Yankees prevailed so no post-season games in Boston.  Still.. I’m not too disappointed because I thought all along that we were playing with “house money” given the fierce competition we faced just to get that far.  Nor am I ready to move on, saying “wait ‘til next year.”  Nope, I am still savoring the MLB season we just had.  This Sox team led the majors with twelve walk-off wins, and I had the pleasure of seeing the boys notch two of those wins at Fenway in the “walk off greens”.  Plus, there were even more games where I did stay through the 9th to see Aroldis Chapman close the game.  This Sox reliever  (the best we’ve had since 2013’s Koji Uehara) never disappointed.  And just as much was enjoying the wonderful exuberance of Chapman’s entrance – To see once again El Tiante smoking up the Fenway skyline, to hear the Latina sounds of “La Reina” Celia Cruz, and view the salsa dancers as Chapman delivers his heat.  Please do check it out one more time before we close the book on these BoSox of 2025 – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHYfnJC3uE0  

As much as I don’t want to close the chapter on Boston’s Boys of Summer 2025,  Boston MLB has now concluded.  Yet, as one door closes, a new door opens, and Boston’s sports scene is a lot brighter today than it was a week ago. This past NFL Sunday Night on NBC was a total surprise and  joy to watch.  I gave the 2-2 Patriots, with their up and down beginning against some of the weakest NFL teams,  not a snowball’s chance in Hell of beating the 4-0 Buffalo Bills, on the road, at Orchard Park in Western NY.  Facing Josh Allen and the AFC’s top team, incredibly, QB Drake Maye,  wide receiver Stefon Diggs, and a stout Pat’s defensive unit, pulled off a huuuuge upset, taking the Bill’s 23-20.   At half-time, I was amazed the Pats led 6-3.  So, I decided not to go to sleep.  Then, we all saw New England rally twice in the 2nd half, with Maye then leading a final drive to set up the 52-yard field goal to win in the last 15 seconds.  We are now 5 games into the 17-game NFL season, with  the Pats now 3-2.  New England would be a wild card entry if the season ended today.  With their soft schedule ahead, hopes have now soared that in January, Mike Vrabel’s overachieving NE  squad might play (even if briefly) in the NFL playoffs.

Beyond pro sports, there was further good news this past weekend. Saturday night, I also had the pleasure of attending the BU Hockey season opener in a packed Agganis Arena.  The Terriers open the season no. 2 in national college hockey rankings.  With another strong group led by potential Hobey Baker contenders  Cole Eiserman and Cole Hutson (who both scored Saturday night), we can hope that coach Jay Pandolfo can again lead lead the scarlet to our 4th consecutive Frozen Four, this time, in Las Vegas, next April.  Opening night fun even continued post-game.  My best friend Bob Imperato and I were able to partake in some fascinating opening night story-telling, in the Friends Lounge, when Brian Zive joined our table.  Brian amazed us both with a number of fabulous tales from his 30-plus years’ reign as the legendary “Sasquatch” of BU Terrier Hockey .   Ol story link - https://www.bu.edu/articles/2015/sasquatch-dog-pound/  That BU Today story was from 2015, ten years ago.   At some point The Daily Free Press / Hockey Blog should do an update, the FreePress / Hockey blog’s  own feature length Sasquatch story.  Such a wonderful man, and Brian has just so much to share with all of us.   Anyway,  good news for the Terriers Saturday and for the Patriots Sunday: fingers crossed that good news will continue  as October goes along.   

As for Newsletter items, nine days ago, CEOWORLD magazine published an article of mine, directed to founder CEOs, CTOs and other founder C-level officers, on navigating re-vesting of equity and other perils you are likely to face when your company is being acquired.   A link to that new article is featured as item #1. This newsletter also has links, in items #3 and #4, to two other earlier articles of mine both published in IVYEXEC career advancement website, on two separate subjects of interest to C-level and senior executives.  The first discusses an important technique, using “QSBS”, to achieve zero taxation if your stock gains are up to the greater of 10x growth or $15 million.  The second article is on  employment contract terms to seek in negotiations by life science C-level and senior executives.  There is also a special offer as item #5.  I hope some of these items might be of benefit… and my best wishes to all for the rest of October! 

1.    Equity Revesting & Other Founder Executive Concerns When Your Company Is Acquired

Are you a founder CEO, or co-founder CTO and other founder executive looking forward to the acquisition of your company?  Are you now looking forward to a long-awaited liquidity event?  The transaction is certainly good news, but, for you, there are certain risks  you ought to know about and plan for.  These risks include required re-vesting of your founder shares or your vested equity position, and a potential double trigger barrier to your own liquidity.  My article published nine days ago in CEOWORLD magazine offers a roadmap to help you navigate through the potential minefield of these critical issues when your company is to be acquired. This article analyzes these key issues and others from your viewpoint, as founder / C-level executive, and how you can respond to protect yourself while still being supportive to close the deal. Read the Article Here

3.       Achieving Zero Taxation on Sale of Your Appreciated Stock

Are you the CEO or in senior leadership at an early stage company or are you considering joining an early stage company, in either case, where executive equity  is or will be an important part of your executive compensation package?  My article published earlier this year, by IVYEXEC career advancement website, discusses how proper structuring of your equity grant can produce a huge cash benefit to you.  My article shows how use of qualified small business stock (QSBS), and other key techniques may enable you to have zero Federal taxation on all or most of the appreciation on a sale of shares.   Since my article’s publication in March 2025,  the 2025 tax law increased the amount that QSBS can shield from taxation to $15 million.  Thus, proper use of techniques I share can potentially save you over $3.5 million in capital gains and net investment income taxes you would otherwise have to pay out of pocket.  Read the Article Here

4.       Employment Contract Terms for Life Science Executives

Whether you have just received a job offer, have a chance to renegotiate your current contract, or are facing a change of control or termination situation, my article published a year ago, in October 2024 by IVYEXEC career advancement website,  advises medical device, biotech and other life science executives on the essential terms to negotiate including performance targets and equity geared to the stage of your life science company and its exit goals and key terms for your equity.  Read the Article Here

September 2025 Edition

We are now in our last weeks of summer, with vacations now over or ending, Labor Day and its cook-outs and other fun associated activities, all now past us, as we look forward to Autumn and a return to our usual routines. So, for most of us, the time for the beach and ocean swimming is now past, but still September is a great time for long walks, hikes and bike rides, and later this month, apple picking and the New England fall foliage season.

These are good times for Boston Red Sox fans with long win steaks in July and August, and a winning ball club anchored by a stellar starting pithing rotation of Garret Crochet, Bryan Bello and Lucas Giolito, with Garrett Whitlock and closer Aroldis Chapman. Thus, through Labor Day, the Sox are 15 games over .500 and would make the playoffs. I have been fortunate to attend a number of thrilling Red Sox victories these last two months including two walk-offs with he Sox sporting their walk-off greens. In close games, where Alex Cora calls for his closer, it has also been fun to see the entrance of Chapman into game when the Sox do a video tribute to the late Luis Tiant who passed away last October. Here is footage, with the title “Aroldis Chapman pays tribute to Luis Tiant and Celia Cruz upon entering the ballgame (Google translate from Spanish), credit to and posted by Yuni Sport. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cy7bJXjV8Q4

Meanwhile, the Patriots after going 2–1 in pre-season games, will have their first real test this Sunday when the Las Vegas Raiders travel to Foxboro. With a new season springs new hope. After a 4–13 record last year, it would be stretch for the Patriots to reach .500 or to make the playoffs. But with new coach Mike Vrabel, a graduate of the Patriots Glory years, and returning offensive play caller Josh McDaniels who will no doubt aid the development of second-year quarterback Drake Maye chances for a better season seem enhanced. Plus, the Patriots used free agency and the draft to bolster the line of scrimmage, while adding key veterans including among receivers. So, fingers crossed for the opener Sunday and better season to follow.

As for Newsletter items, item #1 provides a link to an article of mine, published six days ago in CEOWORLD magazine designed for attorneys in private practice or in the public sector or already in house for a company, on key terms to seek and for which to negotiate if you are offered the position of Chief Legal Officer (CLO). This newsletter also has links, in items #3 and #4, to two other earlier articles of mine, one published by the IVYEXEC career advancement site, on terms to seek in C-level and senior executive job offers, and the second published in CEOWORLD magazine, on using your “ace in the hole” in C-level executive contract negotiations, including job offers, severance and consulting contracts.
