"There's online posts, there's social media rants, there's deepfakes, there's all sorts of areas where people can engage in behavior that has very real-world consequences and effects on victims."   Rebecca Frino, Partner in the Family Law Practice Group, and Steven Teppler, Chair of the Privacy and Cybersecurity Practice Group at Mandelbaum Barrett PC recently collaborated to highlight Domestic Violence Awareness Month and Cybersecurity Awareness Month. They discussed the rise of cyber harassment and its impact on family law cases. With technology evolving, online bullying—like social media attacks or deepfakes—has become more common and harmful.   New Jersey now recognizes cyber harassment as grounds for temporary restraining orders under the Domestic Violence Act, providing victims with stronger protections. Watch the full video below to learn more about cyber harassment and the legal protections available to support victims in these challenging situations.   #CyberHarassment #FamilyLaw #DigitalSafety #OnlineBullying #DomesticViolenceAwareness #LegalProtection #Cybersecurity

The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection has recently proposed a new rule to its site remediation rules that will severely hinder commercial real estate transactions. The proposed rule states “when a person performing remediation as defined at N.J.A.C. 7:26C-1.3, including performing all appropriate inquiry in accordance with N.J.S.A. 58:10-23.11g, and obtains knowledge that a discharge has occurred at any location on a property, that person shall immediately notify the Department.” This new proposed rule would certainly curtail owners of commercial real estate from allowing prospective purchasers in performing “all appropriate inquiries” including soil or groundwater sampling as part of their environmental due diligence when purchasing property. This is a significant change in NJDEP regulations and policy that has been in existence for decades and will have a chilling effect on commercial real estate transactions, if promulgated.  See proposed rule at: bit.ly/4hsjUzQ Jeffrey Cappola, Doug Eilender, Gordon C.
