What Is Communications Litigation and How to Prepare for It?
Communications litigation encompasses disputes arising from the content, delivery, or legal compliance of written, oral, and digital communications between parties. These disputes span contract interpretation, regulatory compliance, defamation claims, and intellectual property conflicts tied to how information is transmitted and received. The legal frameworks governing communications vary significantly depending on whether the claim involves consumer protection, commercial confidentiality, licensing requirements, or media-related content. Understanding the structural differences between communications-based claims helps parties assess exposure early and determine whether procedural remedies, such as injunctive relief or declaratory judgment, are available.

Real Estate Disputes in Staten Island: Types and Legal Remedies under New York Law
Staten Island is the one borough where deeds are recorded with the County Clerk rather than through the City's online system. Confirming where a document was filed is the first step in any title question here. It is also the borough where boundary disputes are real. Detached houses on individual lots produce conflicts that rarely arise in co-op and condominium buildings — encroaching structures, disputed fence lines, driveway and access easements, and adverse possession claims with their own elements and limitations period. Flood history has become a disclosure issue. Since 2024, sellers of residential property must complete a disclosure statement that includes questions about floodplain location, prior flood damage, and flood insurance — and the option to pay a credit instead of disclosing was eliminated. In neighborhoods with storm damage history, what was disclosed and when is now a documented record. And the remedy depends on the claim. A title question, an encroachment, and a contract dispute each carry different limitations periods, and the date the claim accrued matters more than the date the problem was noticed.

What Are Business Name Filing Requirements in New York and How to Comply?
Where a business name is filed in New York depends on what the business is. A corporation or LLC files its formation documents with the Department of State, and files there again if it will operate under a name other than its legal one — a Certificate of Assumed Name under General Business Law § 130. A sole proprietor or general partnership operating under an assumed name files instead with the county clerk of each county in which the business is conducted, and the filing is required, not optional. The name itself has to satisfy the statute. A corporate name must carry Incorporated, Corporation, Limited, or an abbreviation, and must be distinguishable from names on the Department's index (Business Corporation Law § 301); an LLC name must carry Limited Liability Company, LLC, or L.L.C. (Limited Liability Company Law § 204). Both statutes restrict words such as bank, trust, insurance, academy, and education, which require the consent of the agency regulating that field. A name may be reserved for sixty days while the documents are prepared. One requirement applies to LLCs alone. Under Limited Liability Company Law § 206, a new LLC must publish notice within 120 days of formation, once a week for six consecutive weeks, in two newspapers designated by the clerk of the county where its office is located, and then file a Certificate of Publication with the Department of State. An LLC that misses the deadline loses its authority to carry on business in New York until it complies, though the company continues to exist and its existing contracts remain enforceable. Corporations have no equivalent obligation.
