Mark L.
I worked in the Intellectual Property Group at Fidelity Investments for almost 25 years, including managing the group from 2017-2021. I managed and developed the same high-performing group of three legal professionals from 2007-2021. Early in my career at Fidelity, I focused primarily on trademark matters, including trademark searching and clearance, as well as enforcement of trademark rights. In fact, I created Fidelity's trademark and brand protection programs and advanced them over more than two decades, eventually bringing the domestic trademark portfolio in-house and realizing savings of well over $2 million in outside counsel expenses for searching, prosecution and maintenance of US registrations from 2008-2021. Fidelity put me through law school, and I continued working full time while attending law school at night over four years. Upon graduation and passing the bar in 2006, I was promoted to an attorney position effective 1/1/2007. My practice broadened, and I began working on more transactional matters. I became a key transactional attorney for major technology groups and businesses within Fidelity, and negotiated numerous mission critical tech deals, transforming Fidelity's business. I provided transactional and IP support for Fidelity's software development and services affiliate in Ireland, and worked extensively with many of Fidelity's other foreign affiliates. Fidelity's General Counsel handpicked me to provide transactional and IP support to a new business initiative in 2017. That initiative became fintech startup Akoya, LLC, a paradigm-shifting business that enables secure, customer-controlled sharing of personal financial information between financial institutions and service providers. I developed template agreements between Akoya and data providers (financial institutions) and also between Akoya and data recipients (e.g. tax preparation services and financial advisors). Akoya had matured enough to be spun out by Fidelity in early 2020 to a consortium of financial services companies. In 2021, Fidelity offered a voluntary buyout to long-tenured associates, and following the pandemic, coupled with the financial and health benefits included in the package, it was an offer I could not refuse. Days later, my elderly father-in-law broke his hip, and my wife and I became his primary caregivers. It's been a blessing that I was able to contribute to his care and alleviate some of the burden on my wife. He is now in a long-term care facility, and I am eager to return to work as in-house counsel, whether on a contract basis, part time or full time. I did work briefly as a sole practitioner in 2021 and 2022, primarily helping friends, family and pro bono clients with NDAs, business formation issues, consulting agreements and license agreements. From August 2022 - July 2023, I was on the staff of Flex by Fenwick, an in-house counsel on demand business that is a subsidiary of the IP firm Fenwick & West, but did not get any engagements. My wife and I have volunteered for over a year with a dog rescue, Last Hope K9 Rescue, and have fostered several dogs, and adopted two of them!

Do I need a janitorial license to start my own cleaning business?
I am considering starting my own cleaning business, but I'm unsure if I need to obtain a janitorial license to operate legally. I have done some research online, but the information seems to vary depending on the state and type of services offered. I want to ensure that I am compliant with all necessary regulations and avoid any potential legal issues, so I am seeking clarification on whether a janitorial license is required in my state and what steps I need to take to obtain one if necessary.

If you’re thinking about launching a cleaning business in Connecticut, the good news is, you don’t need a specific janitorial license to get started. Unlike other states that pile on the paperwork, Connecticut keeps things fairly straightforward. What the State Requires The one thing you absolutely need is a Connecticut State Tax Registration. Every business, no matter how small, has to get a State Tax ID through the Department of Revenue Services. It costs $100, and you can handle it online through the myconneCT portal. It doesn’t matter if you’re a sole proprietor, an LLC, or a corporation. If you’re doing business in the state, you need this. Now, if you’re forming an LLC or a corporation, there’s one more step. You’ll need to register your business with the Secretary of State. That goes through the Business.CT.gov portal. But if you're a sole proprietor or part of a general partnership, this part doesn’t apply. You still need the Tax ID, though. Don’t Skip the Local Check The state won’t require a specific cleaning license, but your town might. Most major cities in Connecticut like Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport, Danbury, Bristol, Meriden, Milford, and New Britain don’t require local licenses for cleaning services. Still, don’t just assume. It’s smart to call your town clerk’s office and confirm whether any local permits are needed in your area. How Sales Tax Works Here’s something that trips up a lot of new business owners: janitorial services in Connecticut are taxable. You’ll need to charge the standard 6.35% sales tax. The Other Legal Must-Knows Getting an EIN from the IRS is a smart move. It’s free, and you’ll need it if you plan to hire anyone, open a business bank account, or set up an LLC. Even if you’re a solo operator, having an EIN keeps things cleaner, no pun intended. Insurance is another big one. Technically, Connecticut doesn’t make you carry general liability insurance or janitorial bonding, but if you’re serious about protecting your business and your clients, you’ll want both. Bonding protects against things like theft or not delivering what you promised. Unlike insurance, though, if a bond pays out, you’ll owe the bonding company back. And if you hire people, there’s a whole list of responsibilities that come with that. Workers’ compensation, registering with the Department of Labor, and making sure you’re following OSHA safety rules, especially if you're working with chemicals. Putting It All Together Getting your cleaning business off the ground in Connecticut really isn’t that complicated. You’ll need to register for your state tax ID, double-check for any local licensing requirements, set up your business legally, and make sure you’re covered on the insurance front. Once those pieces are in place, you can start taking on clients. Connecticut’s approach makes it relatively easy to start small and grow. The key is staying compliant and setting yourself up the right way from the beginning. That’s what gives your business staying power.
