Congratulations to RIW client Mary Beth Claus Tobin and The Tobin School, Inc., on the sale of the Tobin Schools in Natick, MA, to Kidco Ltd. 🎉 Mary Beth's first school in Natick, the South Natick Children's Center, opened in 1985. It was followed by Afterschool, Inc. in 1993 and the Charles River Children's Center in 1994. In 2004, the schools were renamed The Tobin Schools. Mary Beth successfully operated these schools for almost 40 years, and this transaction was the culmination of those efforts and the great team she created.    As leaders in early childhood education, the Tobin Family of Schools offer a supportive environment with a robust, hands-on curriculum that fosters social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development for children three months through JrK and after-school and summer programs for children in K-4th grade. The Tobin Schools are the only nationally accredited early childhood (NAEYC) and school-age programs (COA) in Natick.    RIW's Corporate Department advised The Tobin School, Inc. on all aspects of the transaction. You can learn more about their capabilities here: https://bit.ly/3Q7MxX1. #CorporateLaw #MergersandAcquisitions #RIW

CLIENT ALERT: On August 6, 2024, Governor Maura Healy signed the Affordable Homes Act, which builds on recent legislation intended to address the state’s housing crisis. In addition to funding affordable housing developments throughout the state and paving the way for the creation of accessory dwelling units, this most recent legislation makes critical amendments to the Zoning Act intended to overcome an obstacle often cited as a key driver of the cost of development in Massachusetts – vexatious abutter appeals.
