With nearly half of Massachusetts households having pets, pet service businesses thrive here despite very little regulation. This has generated a variety of legal needs driving more people to consider retaining a pet law attorney.
A wide gulf still exists between pet owners’ expectations about their rights and the reality of the law. Breeders, boarding facilities, trainers, and groomers have no statelevel or municipal requirement that they uphold any minimum standards while caring for pets. Although property law principles technically govern issues involving pet owners’ rights, the law in Massachusetts has slowly begun adapting - via the legislature, the judiciary, and the media - to reflect the legal importance of this special type of living property.
This program explores the legal issues and challenges unique to representing pet owners and pet businesses. Learn the procedural and judicial considerations for deciding where to bring or defend a pet-related action. Hear about recent pet-related cases brought into the district, superior, and appellate courts. Gain insight into the day-to-day operations of a law practice focused solely on pet-related legal issues.
Join the expert to learn the nuances of this evolving area of law.
