    Being Mindful of the Anti-Boycott Law

    By Lazaro I. Vazquez and Francis E. Rodriguez | January 3, 2018

    The Israel Anti-Boycott Act (S.720 and H.R.1697), a bill in Congress attracting debate, is considered by some to protect the interests of the United States and by others to violate the First Amendment right to free speech. Regardless of how the proposed legislation pans out, it is casting a spotlight on existing U.S. anti-boycott laws and regulations that are often overlooked when structuring cross-border transactions.

    By Michael D. Mopsick | December 27, 2017

    Mediation is not monolithic. It spans literally every type of case that can be brought before a court and many that cannot.

    After Irma: Is Your Business Entitled to Insurance Coverage for Additional Lost Profits?

    By Walter Andrews and Katherine Miller | December 22, 2017

    The stoplights have been repaired and the debris has been cleared, but many local businesses are still feeling the effects of Hurricane Irma, especially in the hospitality industry, due to continued rebuilding efforts, the public perception that South Florida is not ready for visitors again and the loss of other tourist attractions that draw visitors to South Florida.

    Foreclosures: Rulings Favor Lender's Stake

    By Christopher Spuches | December 19, 2017

    Almost exactly six years ago, the Fourth District Court of Appeals struck fear and panic into the hearts of successor lenders. In Glarum v. La Salle Bank, the court reversed a final judgment in the bank's favor because the bank's witness did not have the requisite knowledge of the prior servicer's systems to authenticate certain business records under the business records exception codified in Section 90.803(6)(a), Fla.
