Starting a new company in New York after COVID-19? What corporate entity should your new company select? One of the most important decisions when starting a new company is the selection of the appropriate business entity.

I turned down a case last week where the client wanted me to file same-day without a retainer.
"We'll send payment after."
No. That's not how this works. Respect the process or find someone who doesn't respect themselves.

There's a judge in Nassau County who will not grant adjournments on consent.
Both sides agree? Doesn't matter. You need to appear and explain why on the record.

A judge in Queens will hit you with a conditional preclusion order if you're not ready to discuss discovery at the compliance conference. My coverage attorneys know this. Does yours?

Is claude a scam? I put things in memory in cowork and then it forgets looking for them. I have tried to build a website 3 times and it forgets and forgets and I have to prompt and they find it and then it forgets
AVOID Act’s 12-Month Rule for NY third-party practice:
To implead after one year from Answer, you need: 1. Court approval 2. Plaintiff’s written consent
Good luck getting a plaintiff to agree to more delay. The window is now a 12-month sprint.

SDNY and EDNY are 1.5 miles apart but worlds away in practice.
Courtesy copy rules, ADR triggers, ECF formatting—all different.
We serve as local counsel in both. Check individual judge rules before every filing.

Does anyone else have a problem Claude co-work fabricating facts? I place items in memory and it doesn't bother checking; just continues to apologize.
Is your local counsel an asset or a liability?
If they sign the PHV motion and disappear, they’re a liability.
In the AVOID Act era, local counsel must flag impleader targets before discovery starts. We integrate docket-watching with per diem coverage.

I tell this to my law students. AI is going to create way more work for lawyers. And change all of it for sure.

NYSCEF formatting is now a substantive issue in NY civil litigation.
Incorrect exhibit labeling? Returned. Bad PDF-A flattening? Rejected. Wrong motion sequence number? Delayed.
We act as the procedural gatekeeper so your work reaches the Judge’s desk.

Answer due. Your verification uses pre-2026 affidavit language instead of CPLR 2106.
Under the new rules, that’s a defective pleading—not a technicality.
Local counsel who knows the 2026 requirements catches it in five minutes. Without one? Good luck.
#CPLR2106 #NYLitigation
2026 CPLR 2106 update: the affirmation language must be verbatim. Old templates = rejected pleadings = blown deadlines. If you're filing in NY, your local counsel should be catching this before it hits NYSCEF. 212-233-0666 #ProHacVice #SDNY #EDNY

NY bill SB 7263 would ban AI chatbots from giving legal advice. Includes a private right of action with mandatory attorneys' fees. No algorithm replaces a licensed attorney who knows your court.

Interesting: NY bill would prohibit AI chatbots from giving legal advice.
SB 7263, which passed the Internet & Technology Committee last week, says:
"A proprietor of a chatbot shall not permit such chatbot to provide any substantive response, information or advice, or take any action, which, if taken by a natural person: ... would violate ... law prohibiting the practice or appearance as an attorney-at-law without being admitted and registered ...."
The bill provides a private right of action with mandatory attorneys' fees.
A two-person firm outworking teams of associates by encoding a decade of judgment into AI. This isn’t a tech story. It’s a cost structure story. And every solo and small firm practitioner should be paying attention.
