How Do Board of Directors Meetings Work in New York?
The consequence of getting board procedure wrong is not a penalty. It is that the decision did not happen. A resolution adopted without proper notice or a quorum is voidable. Shares issued under it, contracts approved by it, and officers appointed through it are all open to challenge — and these defects surface during a financing or an acquisition, when the cure is expensive and the leverage belongs to the other side. Minutes are what makes the business judgment rule available. Directors are protected when they act on an informed basis, and the record of what was presented and considered is the evidence of that. Minutes recording only the vote leave a board with nothing to point to. Most closely held corporations do not meet. New York permits action by unanimous written consent in lieu of a meeting, and permits participation by any means allowing simultaneous communication. Both are used more often than formal sessions. Interested transactions need separate handling. Where a director has a financial interest, disclosure and approval by disinterested directors is what preserves the transaction. Approving it in the ordinary course, without that record, invites the challenge later.

How Can Petitioners File a Government Lawsuit?

Understanding the framework, from notice requirements to sovereign immunity doctrines, helps petitioners assess viability early and avoid procedural dismissals. The choice between administrative appeal, declaratory judgment action, and damages claims shapes both timeline and available outcomes.

How a False Accusation Can Derail Your Personal Injury Claim in NYC
A false accusation of fabricating your injuries can derail your personal injury claim in New York City. Learn how courts weigh credibility, what discovery reveals, and how to protect your case. A false accusation in your personal injury claim does not have to be provable to do serious damage. It only has to plant enough doubt in a jury's mind to undercut your recovery. I have watched defendants raise false accusation arguments against clients who had contemporaneous ER records and three eyewitnesses, and I can tell you that how you respond matters as much as the underlying evidence itself. When a false accusation enters the picture, civil discovery expands, your prior statements are scrutinized, and the litigation timeline lengthens. Acting strategically from the moment the allegation surfaces is not optional. It is the foundation of your case.
