New York’s highest court has stated that technological advances in communication “enable a party to transact enormous volumes of business within a state without physically entering it.”[FOOTNOTE 1] Accordingly, recent trial court decisions addressing electronic communications have had to determine whether such communications, along with other contacts, suffice to establish long-arm jurisdiction in New York.
Courts look to the substance and quality of the electronic communications to determine whether there is a sufficient connection to New York. Thus, electronic contacts, when coupled with a sufficient nexus between the transaction, defendant’s actions and New York state, will sustain long-arm jurisdiction.[FOOTNOTE 2]
