Podcast | NY Court System is Archaic | Modernization Needed ASAP

Attention Governor Cuomo the court system needs your leadership. We need e-signature protocols, e-notarization rules, servers, virtual meetings, and so much more. It’s time to modernize the legal industry and revamp the economy for both the state and businesses alike. As a true leader, you can transform the Coronavirus shutdown from a negative into a blue ocean opportunity for New York State.

Courts Are Closed | Lieb at Law is Working For You

The Coronavirus is Affecting Us All
The spread of the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has resulted in the disruption of everyone's daily lives, including the legal world. However, Lieb at Law is still operating at 100% capacity and working for you.
 
Lieb at Law is Fully Operational
Lieb at Law is a fully digital law firm. Thanks to our existing cloud systems, our staff is operating at full capacity from outside of the office. All attorneys, paralegals and support staff have full access to our telephone, case management, and file management systems. Because of our ability to work remotely, our office is currently not physically staffed. Please do not come to our office without an appointment. If you have any questions about your case, transaction, or any other legal matter, please contact us through phone or email and we will attempt to immediately assist you.

Lieb is Leading The Way on Remote Closings 
Real Estate Transactions (Closings) are moving forward and Lieb at Law is leading the move to fully remote closings, including requests to our government to change laws, rules, and regulations to facilitate remote notarizations (the only time that you currently need to see another human in a real estate deal). Our attorneys and paralegals are using every tool available to ensure closings occur on time, without cancelation. Our attorneys and paralegals will contact you to advise you exactly how your closing will proceed, and when.

Lieb is Still Litigating
The Court system is shutting down all non-emergency functions. New rules and procedures are being implemented every day and Lieb at Law is up to date with every change. Depositions, trials, mediations, arbitrations, court conferences, and other in-person proceedings are being adjourned administratively by the courts beyond April 30, 2020. If you had a legal proceeding scheduled to occur before April 30, 2020, it likely has already been adjourned. We are contacting our clients to inform them of these adjournments, but if you are unsure if you should appear at any scheduled proceeding, please contact us ahead of time to confirm its status. 

While the Courts are closed, we are still litigating. Discovery demands, and responses, motions, negotiations, and other proceedings that do not require in-person interactions are continuing. We will work diligently to ensure that your case is minimally affected by the Court closures. In fact, this is a great opportunity for settlement and we are working diligently to resolve cases outside of the court system.

Lieb Knows Employment Law
Lieb at Law attorneys are tracking the development of employment laws that are accompanying mass quarantines and the shuttering of businesses. Whether you are an employer or an employee, it is important that you know and understand your rights and obligations. We can answer all your employment questions, and we encourage you to follow our blog (blog.liebatlaw.com), call or email for all of the latest news and developments. 

Lieb is in Bankruptcy Law
We relaunched our bankruptcy practice (previously operated during the Great Recession) to combat the needs of our clients, particularly businesses that are facing revenue shortfalls and must restructure their debts to survive the quarantines. Contact us for a consultation should you or your business have questions about a Chapter 7, 11 or 13.

Lieb Leads the Way
We've been ready the entire time for this. We are agile and leverage technology like no other law firm around. Lieb at Law has always been at the forefront of the evolving legal landscape. During the Great Recession and the foreclosure crisis, we rose to the top and differentiated ourselves as a leader by knowing more about the new laws and regulations than anyone else. In fact, we trained the legal and real estate brokerage industries through our continuing education classes. Our talented attorneys and paralegals are dedicated to remaining the first to know and understand changes in laws that accompany tumultuous times. In 2020, Lieb at Law is even more capable. Whatever changes the novel coronavirus brings, you can trust that Lieb at Law will be leading the way with legal solutions. 

Please be safe and take all necessary precautions to protect yourself and your loved ones. 

Coronavirus & Commercial Leasing: What happens when your tenant doesn't pay rent?

Landlords - Here is your future:

• There is a Coronavirus quarantine (voluntary or mandatory), which closes your property;
• Tenant is forced to close;
• Being closed, tenant makes no revenue or limited revenue from working from home;
• Without revenue, tenant defaults on rent;
• Without rent, landlord is now at risk of foreclosure and bankruptcy; and
• Consequently, landlord will need to enforce its lease to stave off foreclosure and bankruptcy.

Can landlord successfully enforce its commercial lease?

If landlord seeks to enforce the lease, tenant will likely counterclaim for a rent abatement (reduction or elimination of rent) because of its inability to utilize the property. 

Who is going to win? 

The result likely depends on whether the lease has a clause called a "Force Majeure" or "Non-Performance" or something like that. 

This clause may read something like this: 

The Parties shall not be liable for any failure, delay or interruption in performing such Party's respective obligations hereunder due to causes or conditions beyond the control of such Party. Further, such Party shall not be liable unless the failure, delay or interruption shall result from the failure on the part of such Party to use reasonable care to prevent or reasonable efforts to cure such failure, delay or interruption.

"Causes or conditions beyond the control of such Party", shall mean and include acts of God ... war ... acts of third parties for which such Party is not responsible ... or any other condition or circumstances, whether similar to or different from the foregoing (it being agreed that the foregoing enumeration shall not limit or be characteristic of such conditions or circumstances) which is beyond the control of such Party or which could not be prevented or remedied by reasonable effort and at reasonable expense.

If the clause exists, the landlord has a shot at victory, but without the clause, the tenant will likely prevail, at least in part.

If the clause exists, the landlord's victory is dependent on the specific language of the clause. That is because of the rule that "[o]rdinarily, only if the force majeure clause specifically includes the event that actually prevents a party's performance will that party be excused." As a result, the language of the clause is everything.

Assuming the sample clause exists in the lease, here are the impending battlegrounds for ensuing litigation on enforcing the lease:

• Is Coronavirus an act of god? 
• If yes, is a quarantine resulting from Coronavirus also an act of god?
• If no, is a quarantine resulting from Coronavirus an act of third-parties? 
• If yes, did landlord undertake efforts to prevent the quarantine at the property? 
• If yes, were those efforts reasonable? 
• If no, did landlord undertake efforts to remedy the Coronavirus spread at the property?
• If yes, were those efforts reasonable?  

We know that these lawsuits are coming and they are going to come fast. These lawsuits came after 9/11 - see One World Trade Center LLC v. Cantor Fitzgerald Securities. Only this time they are going to be everywhere because unlike 9/11, Coronavirus is everywhere.

Landlords - now is the time to ascertain your rights, determine your enforcement plan and create a contingency strategy. If you cannot enforce your lease, it's time to contact your lender and seek a forbearance (temporary reprieve from mortgage payments to avoid foreclosure). Doing nothing will create a strong likelihood of foreclosure and bankruptcy. It's time to act.

  

Contracts of Sale: Preserving Rights is Transactional Counsel's Job

The dichotomy between a litigation and a transactional practice is stark. Simply, transactional counsel needs to adhere to the game of hot potato — don’t get stuck as the recipient of a notice when the music stops. Instead, counsel must assert a preservation right whenever counsel receives a notice that asserts contrary rights by the other party. Then, counsel should consult with litigation counsel to collaborate on how to best achieve the client’s goal through a hybrid of leveraging litigation and negotiating terms.

Anatomy of a Real Estate Lawsuit with Andrew M. Lieb

A lawsuit is not what you see on TV. On TV, a lawsuit is won by an attorney marching into court with a grand display of showmanship and a cunning tongue. The TV judge hearing the case makes a spot decision and it’s all over and decided before the final commercial break. In reality, a civil litigation takes years and is much more of a chess match than a swordfight. As opposed to this courtroom drama, a real case is typically decided on paper submissions that may be heard months after they are first provided to the court. Additionally, the decision is often made on a technical procedural rule, not on the merits or substance of the litigation.

You see, being right isn’t everything in real litigation. Instead, a real lawsuit is all about knowing how to play the game. The following is a summary of the stages of a litigation, but this chess match isn’t linear and each of the stages can appear out of order and can even reoccur again and again. So, civil litigants need a skilled advocate who is a master of the game if they want a shot at victory. Here is your game board:

NYREJ - Q & A with Lieb, managing attorney at Lieb at Law

The New York Real Estate Journal recently interviewed Andrew Lieb, Esq on technology and legislative trends.

Zoning Ordinances Banning the Sale of Medical Marijuana Likely Discriminate Against People With Disabilities

Jessica Vogele, the number one ranked law student in the 2L class at Touro Law Center who is also a Law Clerk at Lieb at Law, P.C. addresses the most hot-button issue on Long Island today by delving into the zoning of medical marijuana facilities within her article published in The Suffolk Lawyer.

In July 2015, the New York State Department of Health licensed five companies to manufacture and sell medical marijuana in compliance with the Compassionate Care Act of 2014. Although no manufacturing plants will be located on Long Island, there are plans to build two dispensaries – one in Nassau County and the other in Suffolk County. The proposed site for Suffolk County is located in the Town of Riverhead and has met considerable resistance from town residents due to its proximity to a high school and the risks of increased violent crime and traffic generally associated with medical marijuana dispensaries. This backlash against the proposed site has prompted the Village of Islandia to preemptively amend its zoning ordinance in order to ensure that no dispensaries will be placed
within the village’s boundaries in the future.

The issue here is whether the village’s new zoning ordinance, which prohibits the sale of medical marijuana dispensaries within its boundaries, discriminates against people with disabilities.

Reasons to Involve an Attorney in the Rental of an Accessory Apartment

There is a strong temptation for homeowners to rent out the extra space in their home for a few quick bucks on the side, but long gone are the days where being a part time landlord was as easy as posting a classified ad in the newspaper and watching the monthly rent checks roll in. 

With the continuing evolution and advancement of tenant protection laws, it is critical that a landlord runs the rental of their accessory apartment in the same way that they would run a business. One of the biggest differences between a professional and someone who dabbles in a field is the thorough understanding and appreciation of the risks their business faces. 

This article focuses on a few key developments in landlord-tenant law that all mom-and-pop landlords should be conscious of in order to avoid turning their part-time supplemental income into a big time hole in their pocket.
