Our team, led by Shareholder Carla Varriale-Barker (she/her), successfully obtained summary judgment for an out-of-possession landowner in a complex premises liability case involving a residential apartment building. The plaintiff, employed by a vendor for cleaning tasks, alleged he was injured after slipping on water in a stairwell. However, the Court ruled in our client’s favor, finding that the responsibility for maintenance and repair lay with the property manager, not our client. This decision not only absolves our client of liability but also reinforces the critical importance of clear contractual agreements in real estate management.

Segal McCambridge Senior Associate Jeffrey Marchese has published a new article for ABA Litigation Section News, titled "Subpoenas Upheld in Attorney Extortion Case," on 8/12. In this insightful piece, Jeffrey explores a federal court of appeals decision rejecting an interlocutory appeal involving grand jury subpoenas in an attorney extortion case. He breaks down key legal principles, including discovery privileges and the crime-fraud exception. As Jeffrey notes, “the appellate court found that it lacked jurisdiction to hear the arguments under either the Collateral-Order Doctrine or the Perlman Doctrine because privilege interests can be reviewed on post-judgment appeal.” 👉 Read the full article here: https://bit.ly/4dHHQwq (subscriber-based) #LegalNews #Litigation #LawUpdate #SegalMcCambridge #ABALitigationNews

Shareholder Carla Varriale-Barker (she/her) and Associate Marie-Victoire Wickers have been published in Bloomberg Law in a column titled "NY Fashion Workers Law Would Pave the Way for Industry Fairness." In their article, they speak about the implications of the New York State Fashion Workers Act for models and other creatives. "Notwithstanding that New York’s fashion industry is renowned worldwide, it has lagged in providing fundamental protections for its workers. The fashion industry employs 180,000 people, accounting for 6% of the city’s workforce, and it generates $10.9 billion dollars in total wages," they explain. Governor Hochul is positioned to sign the bill this week.

Congratulations to Segal McCambridge Shareholder Carla Varriale-Barker (she/her) and Associate Marie-Victoire Wickers, whose latest column is published in The Legal Intelligencer! Carla and Marie-Victoire discuss a recent case involving a plaintiff suing Kim Kardashian, whose assistant posted a photo of the celebrity at a public event, with the plaintiff appearing in the background. A New York court rejected the plaintiff’s case, ruling that because the photo was posted to social media, it was not “commercial” use, and therefore the plaintiff was not entitled to compensation. “The ruling illustrates that not all uses of a person’s image on social media will be considered commercial exploitation,” write Carla and Marie-Victoire. “This can provide some reassurance to individuals and businesses using social media that incidental inclusion of individuals in photos may not necessarily result in legal liability under New York’s privacy laws. It also shows how plaintiffs must carefully consider jurisdictional issues when bringing similar claims, particularly against high-profile individuals or entities based outside the state.” Read more: https://bit.ly/4fw2sco (subscriber-based). #legalintelligencer #SegalMcCambridge #kimkardashian #dashNYC #celebrityimages
