In estate planning, and in life, details matter. Here is an article discussing estate planning lessons to be learned from Michael Jackson’s estate. *** “Testators should therefore pay close attention to every provision of a will, including technical terms that may require explanation by the drafting attorney. Testators should also be careful: It may be tempting to control property from the grave, but restrictions that seem desirable during life can backfire after death.” https://lnkd.in/ge_UDAbJ

In explaining the amendments to Federal Rule of Evidence 702, the Advisory Committee called out several ways in which “many courts” had “incorrectly” applied Rule 702 and failed to adequately discharge their duty as gatekeepers with regard to expert witness testimony. The import of those comments is that existing precedent on Rule 702 may be “incorrect” and must be re-examined. A case pending in the Northern District of Illinois serves as a fine illustration of how this re-examination should work in practice. You can learn more in this post for our “Faegre Drinker on Products” blog by Eric Friedman and Brian J. Paul.

Keller Williams Realty, Inc. is in massive TCPA trouble AGAIN. Just over a year after paying $40MM to settle a TCPA class action the real estate giant is back in the TCPAWorld news with a stunning jurisdictional loss paving the way for it to be held liable for the robocallong actions of its agents. The new decision in Havassy v. Keller Williams has clear tie ins to the stunning Hossfield vs Allstate decision, where the insurer was held liable for calls made by downstream subs of an independent agent. The lesson here is that major brands cannot expect to escape TCPA risk when calls are made by independent contractors or franchisees. This is a massive wake up call- if not a seachange- and further solidifies the TCPA world as the riskiest bastion of liability in the law. #tcpa #tcpaworld #agents #realestate #calls #coldcalls #robocalls #fcc #jurisdiction #liability #deservetowin

Positive thinking for Friday! "The bottom line is today’s #brickandmortar success stories involve #properties that go beyond serving as places to #shop for traditional #goods and #services to become diversified, one-stop sites where #consumers can also pick up their #online orders, come together for #meals, #fitness and #fun, and patronize #health, #wellness and #personalcare services. Approaching the future of brick-and-mortar #retail will always require agility and foresight. When space users, #realestate services providers, and owners are in it together, the future is bright indeed." #larrytheleasinglawyer #retailleasing #shoppingcenters

The Wall Street Journal has followed up on its story about the "doom loop" in Downtown St. Louis with an article about the rebirth of Downtown Detroit. A Tale of Two Cities reminiscent of the famous Charles Dickens novel in many respects. A couple months ago I wrote a LinkedIn post about the revitalization of Detroit’s downtown. I have visited Detroit twice over the last two years. Detroit and St. Louis are not apples to apples but I believe our business/political leaders in the Gateway City can learn from the rebirth of the Motor City. 1. Invest and the people will return. Detroit is being redeveloped primarily by several high net-worth Native Michigan individuals/families. Obviously there is a profit component to their investment but their also is a legacy/hometown pride element as well. We need more wealthy folks from STL to invest in our Downtown. These investments do pay off - see Ballpark Village and developments around the St. Louis CITY SC stadium. 2. Missouri Senate Bill 792 must pass. This bi-partisan bill provides tax credits up to 30% of office to other use conversion costs. One of the reasons why many of our Downtown architectural treasures have stayed vacant is because it is cost prohibitive to rehab them given the current incentives available. Pass SB 792 and you will see cranes 🏗️ on our Downtown skyline again. 3. St. Louis City should implement security incentives for developers so they can pay for cameras, lighting, barriers and off-duty police. This will create an ecosystem of safety and bring residents/businesses back. The time to act is now! The rapid response by our leaders to the WSJ’s article about Downtown St. Louis was positive to see. However, actions speak louder than words. With St. Louis City facing $1.6B of debt and a projected multi-million dollar loss in Earnings Tax revenue, our politicians need to act with a sense of urgency and engage the business community to help bail us out. Otherwise, we will be filing for bankruptcy by the end of the decade like Detroit. Maybe that’s the wake up call we need. #community #invest #incentives #renewal #business #rebirth City of St. Louis Greater St. Louis, Inc. St. Louis Development Corporation (SLDC) L.
