You Can’t Have It Both Ways: New Jersey Appellate Division Reinforces the Power of Judicial Estoppel (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One of the most effective—but often overlooked—defenses in business litigation is judicial estoppel. A recent published decision from the New Jersey Appellate Division, Hacker v. Jaime-Valdez (A-2886-22, decided June 13, 2025), serves as an important reminder that litigants cannot tell one court one thing to obtain a favorable ruling and then take the exact opposite position later when it becomes advantageous. Although Hacker arose from an automobile accident and bankruptcy proceeding, the court

Five Warning Signs Your Business Partner Is Preparing for Litigation—And What You Should Do (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most business divorces do not begin with a lawsuit. They begin with subtle changes in behavior. For months—or even years—business partners may disagree about strategy, compensation, management, or the future of the company. Healthy businesses survive disagreements every day.
