Legal & Regulatory

Commercial real estate attorney Phil Jelsma gives us an inside look at the IRS extensions and guidance for opportunity zones.

U.S. District Judge Gary Sharpe ordered New York officials to not enforce any outdoor gathering limitations, if people are following social-distancing requirements.

"While it may be the case that governor has overstepped his authority under New York's Executive Law, curing those alleged harms would require this court to ignore the doctrine of state sovereign immunity and principles of federalism embodied in the Eleventh Amendment," wrote Chief Judge Colleen McMahon of the Southern District of New York.

Groups with deep pockets have lined up on both sides of the issue, including organizations that have dished out millions of dollars in political donations over recent years.

The IRS has released new deadlines for opportunity zone investments to fuel investment in distressed properties.

The bill that would have places a moratorium on commercial evictions has failed to make it through the State Senate committee.

A group of six lawyers, led by managing partner Robert "Bob" Dalrymple, has joined Bethesda, Maryland's Selzer Gurvitch Rabin Wertheimer & Polott, adding a "premier" land use/zoning practice.

According to the suit, social distancing rules are not neutral policy, but instead a "content-based regulation of First Amendment-protected activity."
