By Mark W. Lerner and Jessica T. Rosenberg | February 28, 2018
Sexual harassment in the workplace has traditionally been a matter for civil enforcement, through actions brought by private plaintiffs or by governmental agencies such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or state or city Commissions on Human Rights. But when the harassing conduct potentially violates criminal laws, employers need to consider that the matter may involve other agencies and implicate the criminal law and process.

By Barry Black and Jonathan Robert Nelson | February 28, 2018
In their Religion Law column, Barry Black and Jonathan Robert Nelson discuss RCL §12 which provides that a religious corporation may not sell or mortgage any of its real property, or lease any of its real property for a term greater than five years, without applying for and obtaining approval of a court or the attorney general. They advise that failure to keep in mind the requirements of RCL §12 can upset a transaction, even after it has seemingly been completed.

In their Taxation column, Ezra Dyckman and Charles S. Nelson discuss P.L. 115-97, commonly known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and specifically new Section 199A, which, although very favorable to real estate investors, is very complicated and there is uncertainty regarding key questions surrounding it.

In his Franchising column, Rupert Barkoff discusses the pros and cons of whether a franchise lawyer would make a good (or bad) franchisee. On the one hand, they may "be more likely to understand the significance of a franchise agreement," but on the other, they may "be fixed in their ways and not easily convinced that the franchisor's system must be followed in order to achieve success."

Many insurers are applying 'Burlington' in an overly restrictive manner, thereby raising questions by insureds as to how to re-establish agreed upon risk transfer.
By Scott E. Mollen | February 27, 2018
Scott E. Mollen, a partner at Herrick, Feinstein and an adjunct professor at St. John's University School of Law discusses the landlord-tenant/nuisance case 'Strata Realty Corp. v. Pena,' where the tenant had a long history of making complaints and therefore a notice to cure was not required where it would have been "a futile act," and 'Matter of Save America's Clocks Inc. v. City of New York, ' where the appellate court ruled on the proposed conversion of an interior landmark into a private residence.

By Peter A. Crusco | February 26, 2018
In his Cyber Crime column, Peter A. Crusco writes: It is no surprise that courts nationwide are more frequently wrestling with subpoena requests in litigation initiated by the defense in criminal cases for state's witnesses' relevant smart phone data and social media footprint including their posts, messages and emails in pursuit of finding impeachment material, conflicting explanation of events, false information and other grounds for further investigation to, among other reasons, challenge these witnesses' recollection and reliability. He addresses common issues raised by this litigation.
