Translating a Disclosure Document to Another Language is Fine
NFA Member Firms are required to have their disclosure documents reviewed by the NFA generally before such firms can distribute the documents to potential investors.

In these cases the question arises as to whether the CTA or CPO can translate their disclosure documents… [read post]

The defendants applied a combination of keyword searches and predictive coding to arrive at a collection under three million documents from the over 19 million with which they started. It sounds as if the methods of search and culling were not… [read post]

I get questions on this several times a week. There is lots in the press and communications going out that notifies homeowner associations that there is a new body of law that has been signed into place regarding THE DAVIS STIRLING COMMON INTEREST DEVELOPMENT ACT. What you need to know is that it is not a “rewrite” in the most technical sense, meaning the laws have not changed in a material way. They have simply been written in language that the legislators feel provides more clarity and several… [read post]

A big part of legal representation is identifying and getting key documents from your client. This can sometimes be a bit like pulling teeth, but its critical that you get necessary documents. Here are some helpful guidelines for getting all the documents that you need from your client.
Unlike a document request from the opposing side during discovery, getting documents from your own client is much more fluid and can happen throughout the representation. These requests can be based on either… [read post]

Updating and Restating Governing Documents As A Project
Homeowner associations pay big bucks for amending and restating the governing documents. It may seem like an easy task but if you do it right it is an involved process, and cooperation
and participation by the board and the attorney for the association is needed. If there is a committee involved, the members must be committed to doing the work. It takes a village! Some boards rely too heavily on the attorney and do not review drafts and… [read post]

As I’ve previously written, the Rules of Court require parties to a BC Supreme Court Civil Lawsuit to disclose relevant documents to opposing parties.

Failure to do so can result in exclusion of the documents… [read post]

One of my opening “break the ice” lines at closings is to suggest that the… [read post]
