Twitter Chat Recap
On August 18, several members of Commercial Leasing Law & Strategy's Board of Editors and contributors to Law.com and our ALM sibling GlobeSt.com took part in a Twitter chat. The topic: "Do We Need Offices Anymore?" Panelists were asked to respond to seven questions on how office life at law firms has changed and what to expect in the future. Those following along weighed in as well. Among the highlights from our Board:
- "An office is not just a place for logistics, but a place for collaboration and the feel-good connection with a client. Once social distancing is in the rear view mirror, clients will want that back." — Joseph Farca
- "Office space will become more agile. Many law firms will have their staff either work remotely or in the office on a rotating basis. Further, many law firms will invest even more on cloud computing and storage, decreasing its physical footprint." — Alan Nochumson
- "I see reconfiguring of old spaces and new leases prioritizing meeting spaces such as conference rooms and break rooms, while minimizing grand C-suite style offices. When the pandemic ends, virtual, WeWork-style co-working space will be well positioned to take off." — Joseph Farca

Legal Possession: What Does It Mean?
Possession of real property is a matter of physical fact. Having the right or legal entitlement to possession is not "possession," possession is "the fact of having or holding property in one's power." That power means having physical dominion and control over the property.
The Stranger to the Deed Rule
In 1987, a unanimous Court of Appeals reaffirmed the vitality of the "stranger to the deed" rule, which holds that if a grantor executes a deed to a grantee purporting to create an easement in a third party, the easement is invalid. Daniello v. Wagner, decided by the Second Department on November 29th, makes it clear that not all grantors (or their lawyers) have received the Court of Appeals' message, suggesting that the rule needs re-examination.
