An entertainment law firm can help producers check whether talent releases permit using a person's face or voice in commercial ads. Permission to film someone does not always cover paid advertising or a new brand campaign. Before publishing, compare the talent agreement with the planned platforms, edits, and duration of use. In California, commercial uses of a person's likeness or voice may require consent.

An order of protection in NYC can immediately restrict where you may go, whom you may contact, and whether you may possess firearms. Start with the current order. Check who it protects, what conduct it prohibits, when it expires, and which court issued it. Family Court and Criminal Court orders arise through different proceedings, but either can impose restrictions that remain in effect until the court changes them.

Long Island HOA rules govern property restrictions, fines, assessments, and the procedures homeowners can use to challenge violations. Receiving an HOA violation notice does not automatically establish that an owner breached an enforceable restriction. Before responding, homeowners should examine the declaration, bylaws, applicable rules, and any required appeal procedure. Rental restrictions may also raise separate issues under the lease.

The regulated uses are already defined by statute. An automated decision in employment falls under the Civil Rights Department’s regulations effective October 1, 2025, which treat the use of such a system as subject to FEHA and require four years of record retention. A credit decision falls under ECOA and Regulation B, which require a statement of specific reasons for an adverse action — the CFPB has said a generic reason does not satisfy it where a model was used. Vendor-controlled information is the gap most often missed. The obligation to explain or defend a decision stays with the business, so the contract has to secure access to the model’s inputs, outputs and testing records before an inquiry arrives rather than after. A complaint changes the posture immediately. Preservation obligations attach when litigation is reasonably anticipated, and for a model that retrains continuously that means preserving the version that produced the decision, which is not recoverable later.

The obligations turn on the role. A developer of a covered model is subject to AB 2013, effective January 1, 2026, which requires public documentation of the datasets used in training, and a large frontier developer is subject to SB 53’s framework and incident-reporting duties. A deployer making consequential decisions is subject to the CPPA’s automated decisionmaking technology regulations, with compliance required from January 1, 2027. Employment use has its own rule. The Civil Rights Department’s regulations on automated decision systems took effect October 1, 2025, and treat the use of such a system as subject to FEHA, with a four-year record retention requirement covering the data the system used. Disclosure obligations sit on top of those. AB 2655 and SB 942 address AI-generated content and provenance disclosure, and an employer or service provider may fall under several of these at once, so the first step is to list each use and date it rather than to ask whether the company is covered.
