Ortoli | Rosenstadt: What Exactly Is a Seller Responsible for When Selling Its Staffing Firm?

Buyers of a business generally expect sellers to be responsible for certain liabilities relating to when the seller owned its business—a concept mergers and acquisitions professionals refer to as indemnification.

Attorney Paul Pincus of Ortoli Rosenstadt LLP explains what sellers are liable for, how a seller’s liability may be limited, and how buyers may seek to fund potential indemnity claims.

New Jersey Governor Conditionally Vetoes Staffing Bill, But Issues Remain

Published September 23, 2022 ■ Legal Watch

On Sept. 22, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy issued a conditional veto of an onerous bill that would make it harder for staffing agencies to do business in the Garden State.

Passage in the General Assembly seems almost certain, but the original vote was much closer in the Senate. ASA will report on any further developments with the legislation.
