    Marshall Brozost writes: Negotiations concerning the collapse of real estate joint ventures are among the most vexing, contentious and emotional—particularly in connection with the removal of the real estate operator from its role as the manager of the JV by the investor member(s) in the event of non-performance or "bad boy" acts. Though difficult, recent events and common sense militate for clear language in the JV agreement concerning the right of the investor member to remove the manager in such circumstances.

    By Kenneth M. Block and Joshua M. Levy | June 20, 2017

    In their Construction Law column, Kenneth M. Block and Joshua M. Levy write: One of the more common questions asked in the construction contracting arena is whether an owner of a construction project can enforce the terms of a subcontract or its architect's consulting agreement with engineers directly against the subcontractor or engineers as a third-party beneficiary.

    In their Housing Litigation column, Adam Leitman Bailey and Dov A. Treiman discuss 'Rivera v.

    By Scott E. Mollen | June 13, 2017

    Scott E. Mollen, a partner at Herrick, Feinstein and an adjunct professor at St. John's University School of Law discusses 'Goldstein v. Lipetz,' a landlord-tenant case where although the majority found the defendant had "exploited the governmentally-conferred privilege of her rent-stabilized tenancy" by profiting from subletting her apartment through the company Airbnb, the dissent argued that "there is a question of fact as to whether defendant engaged in profiteering, or rather used Airbnb to enable herself to continue to live in her long time home, which would not be inconsistent with the purposes of the Rent Stabilization Law."
