In the August 21, 2017 edition of The Legal Intelligencer, Henry Donner, Of Counsel at Kang Haggerty writes on the Practitioners’ Guide to Navigating New Mechanics’ Lien Law Amendments.

By: Henry DonnerConstruction-300x180-1

Pennsylvania’s Mechanics Lien Law of 1963 was amended in late 2014 to require the commonwealth’s Department of General Services to create an internet-based State Construction Notices Directory. As required by the law, the directory went live on Dec. 31, 2016, providing a standardized, statewide, internet-based system for construction notices. This statutory scheme imposes new requirements on project owners, contractors, and subcontractors, compliance with which can drastically affect those parties’ rights under the Mechanics Lien Law. Practitioners representing any of the traditional parties in a construction matter should be sure to familiarize themselves with these new provisions, and advise their clients accordingly.

Three New Jersey Supreme Court committees have recently prohibited three online services that allow clients and lawyers to interact for a small fee. Certain Avvo, LegalZoom, and Rocket Lawyer products have been deemed to be in violation of ethical standards in the state and are currently blacklisted. Moreover, Avvo is under fire for its improper fee-splitting.

In the Joint Opinion issued by the Advisory Committee on Professional Ethics, Committee on Attorney Advertising and Committee on the Unauthorized Practice of Law (ACPE Opinion 732, CAA Opinion 44, UPL Opinion 54), the committees state that “New Jersey lawyers may not participate in the Avvo legal service programs because the programs improperly require the lawyer to share a legal fee with a nonlawyer…”

On the other hand, it adds, “The Committees further find that LegalZoom and Rocket Lawyer appear to operate legal service plans through their websites but New Jersey lawyers may not participate in these plans because they are not registered with the Administrative Office of the Courts…” While these two services are permissible under RPC 7.3(e)(4), they are off limits due to the lack of registration.

Following its enactment on May 11, 2016, there have been many cases filed in the US District Courts under the Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA). In this publication with The Legal Intelligencer, Edward T. Kang discusses notable developments relating to the DTSA – such as the private right of action arising from a trade secret misappropriation that occurred before but continues after the act’s enactment, which is drastically different from the Uniform Trade Secrets Act adopted by most of the states.
