<b><i>Part One of a Two-Part Article.</i></b> Having served as a financial and valuation expert in matrimonial proceedings for over 25 years, I, along with other veteran practitioners, have witnessed a fast-paced evolution of matrimonial litigation since the adoption of the concept of equitable distribution.

In many situations, a battle of the experts ensues over valuation issues, resulting in significant cost to the parties, and greater inevitability of trial. Judges are confronted with hearing and trying to understand the testimony of the experts and are left with the unenviable task of deciding between the opposing opinions based on issues of credibility and economic soundness.

Entrepreneurship. It has such a romantic ring, doesn’t it? When we hear the word, we think of incredibly successful people who must lead a charmed life. But the truth of the matter is often far from that. Just ask Melissa Rogozinski whose recent book, Becoming Phoenix, tells a much different story.
Agentic AI introduces risks that are novel and complex, but the most effective response is a familiar one. Zero Trust answers the problem of when an AI agent misfires on its own by constraining what an agent can do rather than betting on how it will behave.
California is betting that it can accelerate AI adoption by acting as a demanding, trusted buyer, and that the governance evidence it extracts through procurement can become infrastructure the rest of the market reuses.
