Most IP infringement disputes never see a courtroom. But knowing when a cease-and-desist letter will do the job, when a lawsuit is the only option, and when you need a judge to step in immediately is what separates a quick resolution from a costly one.

In his latest Firm Insight, Michael Mietlicki walks through the steps businesses can take when their trademarks, copyrights, patents, or trade secrets are being used without permission, including the five things every effective cease-and-desist letter needs and the situations where waiting for a final judgment is not an option.

The allegation is public. The investigation isn’t finished. Now what?

Within hours of a social media post, a lawsuit, or a regulator’s announcement, customers, employees, reporters, and the board are all asking the same question. In many cases, the company doesn’t have the answer yet.

Respond too fast and a categorical denial may not hold up. Say nothing and others define the story. In his latest Firm Insight, Partner Sean M. Pena breaks down how organizations can manage the gap between accusation and conclusion without creating a second crisis of their own.

Many New Jersey business owners assume that whether a worker is an employee or an independent contractor is their call. It is not, and as of October 1, the state’s position is now written into regulation.

New Jersey’s ABC test has governed worker classification for decades, but the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development has now codified it, putting businesses on notice that independent contractor relationships will face close scrutiny. The burden of proving all three prongs sits with the business, and the tax exposure for getting it wrong can reach the owner personally.

In a new client alert, Scott H. Novak walks through how the test works, why ride-hailing companies have struggled to pass it, which workers do qualify, and what small employers should be doing right now.

A battery supplier can deliver in six months. That does not mean the project can operate in six months.

As data centers and other large-load customers push for faster timelines, the gap between equipment delivery and commercial operation is where many BESS projects run into trouble. Interconnection studies, utility upgrades, and permitting all sit in that gap, and so do liquidated damages clauses tied to a date no one at the table fully controls.

In Part 3 of the firm’s Battery Storage Legal Roadmap Series, Nicholas R. Wall explains how developers can keep grid, cost, and schedule risk from becoming contract exposure.

Our team keeps growing. Scarinci Hollenbeck is proud to welcome Saif Ahmed and Jessica Utnick as Associates in our Little Falls office.

Both join us straight from judicial clerkships with the Superior Court of New Jersey, where they saw up close how cases are argued, mediated, and decided. That view from inside the courtroom is something our clients benefit from on day one.

Saif adds a background in intellectual property and corporate compliance. Jessica brings hands-on experience as a court mediator.

We’re glad to have you both, Saif and Jessica.

Business owners carrying between $3.4 and $7.5 million in debt: Congress has passed a bill restoring the $7.5 million Subchapter V limit, and it’s awaiting the President’s signature.

David Edelberg explains why that matters before you ever think about filing, including what it does to your leverage with lenders and how the Chapter 13 changes affect personal guaranties.

When a company is healthy, a payment to an owner or an affiliated entity rarely gets a second look. When that same company runs into financial trouble, it can become Exhibit A.

Creditors, shareholders, bankruptcy trustees, and regulators all scrutinize leadership decisions far more closely once a business is in distress, and directors and officers can find themselves personally exposed for choices that seemed routine at the time. The stakes are even higher in closely held businesses, where the same people are often the owners, managers, lenders, and guarantors.

In our latest Firm Insight, Scarinci Hollenbeck Counsel Michael Mietlicki explains where that exposure comes from, when the business judgment rule protects leadership and when it does not, and why D&O insurance is often narrower than business leaders assume.
