Happy Labor Day from Friedman Schuman Layser!

Friedman Schuman Layser is pleased to congratulate Neil Sarker on successfully defending a trial court judgment before the New Jersey Superior Court, Appellate Division, on behalf of a financial institution client.

The case involved a commercial lending dispute concerning the enforcement of an arbitration award and addressed important issues concerning the relationship between a contractual forum-selection clause, an arbitration provision, the Federal Arbitration Act, and New Jersey’s arbitration statutes.

The Appellate Division affirmed the trial court’s decision, concluding that the parties’ agreement permitted enforcement of the arbitration award in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Neil’s work on this matter demonstrates the depth of our Financial Services team’s experience handling complex lending disputes and navigating the unique legal issues that can arise when those disputes reach the appellate level.

Congratulations to Neil and the Financial Services team on this well-deserved appellate success!

✏️A new school year brings new routines, activities, sports, and unfortunately, the possibility of accidents and injuries.

Children can be injured at school in many ways, including playground accidents, hazardous property conditions, sports-related injuries, and school violence. While some accidents are unavoidable, others may result from unsafe conditions or negligence.

For parents, understanding your rights after a school-related injury is especially important because claims against Pennsylvania school districts can be more complex than typical personal injury claims.

🎓Heading to college? Don’t forget this important item on your back-to-campus checklist!

Once a child turns 18, they are legally an adult, which means that parents no longer automatically have the authority to access medical information or make healthcare and financial decisions on their behalf.

Before your student heads to campus, consider putting these important documents in place:

✔️ Healthcare Power of Attorney
✔️ HIPAA Authorization
✔️ Financial Power of Attorney

Estate planning isn’t just for retirees or those with a lot of assets. For college students, estate planning is about being prepared for the unexpected and giving both students and parents peace of mind.

Read our latest blog to learn more about why every college student should have Powers of Attorney before leaving for campus ➡️ https://bit.ly/4xuTTqt

Want to create your Powers of Attorney documents before you're off to college? Contact the Friedman Schuman Layser, PC estate planning team today: https://bit.ly/49agWe8

Have you created your will? 📝

August is National Make-A-Will Month, making it the perfect time to prioritize your estate plan!

A will allows you to decide how your assets should be distributed, name guardians for minor children, and provide guidance for your family during difficult times. Without a valid estate plan, your wishes may not be followed, and decisions about your assets and loved ones may be left to Pennsylvania’s intestacy laws.

Don’t wait for the unexpected. Take the first step toward protecting your future today.

Clear communication between patients and healthcare providers is essential to receiving quality medical care.🏥 However, because many doctors’ appointments last only 15 to 20 minutes, patients may leave feeling that their questions went unanswered or their concerns were not fully addressed.

Whether you are attending an appointment for yourself or accompanying a loved one, preparation can help you make the most of your time with a healthcare provider.

Learn the important steps that can help you learn how to advocate for yourself or a loved one during a doctor’s appointment on the blog ➡️https://bit.ly/44UVWI9

A commercial lease isn't just paperwork. It is one of the most important agreements your business may sign.📝

Unlike residential leases, commercial leases are often negotiable and can include complex terms related to rent increases, maintenance responsibilities, security deposits, renewal options, permitted use of the property, and more.🏢 The details matter, and overlooking them can lead to costly issues down the road.

Before signing a commercial lease, it's important to understand your rights, obligations, and potential risks. Having an experienced real estate attorney review the agreement can help ensure the lease reflects the terms you negotiated and protects your business interests in the long and short term.

Whether you're opening a new location, relocating, or renewing an existing lease, Friedman Schuman Layser real estate attorneys are here to help businesses across Pennsylvania confidently navigate commercial leasing.
